Side Window Sun Shades

Mesh and roller screens that cut glare and heat on the side windows

Side window sun shades block direct sun on the side glass to cut glare and lower cabin heat. They are popular for keeping children, pets, and passengers comfortable, and for protecting your interior trim and upholstery from harsh afternoon light.

Shades differ in style, fit, and how they attach to the door. We curate top-rated picks on Amazon so you can compare cling films, stretchy mesh socks, and retractable roller shades that match your window shape and how often you use them.
