FAQ

How do I know what size sun shade to get?

Measure your windshield height and width, or check listings for vehicle fit guidance. Many shades come in size tiers from compact cars to large SUVs.

Do sun shades really keep a car cooler?

Reflective sun shades reduce how much direct sunlight heats the dashboard and cabin while parked. The effect is most noticeable in hot, sunny conditions.

How do sun shades stay up?

Pop-up shades wedge against the glass with the visors flipped down, while folding panels rest behind the steering wheel and visors. Some include suction cups for extra hold.
