“The shades fit the rear windows perfectly and are of reasonably good quality. They also arrived fairly quickly. As another reviewer observes, the fitting instructions provided simply aren’t detailed enough given the cost of the product, plus those in the box aren’t entirely consistent with those online. As a result, one of the clips came off while my wife was driving, landing somewhere near our baby and never to be seen again. In fairness to the customer services team, I’m told that replacement clips are on the way to me free of charge, which is greatly appreciated. As it’s unclear whether the clip came off due to its design or because I fitted it incorrectly, I hope the problem isn’t repeated!”

“Great product on the way windows. Fittings could be better designed to not impact/mark on the paint”

“The shades are a great sun blocking solution with a newborn, however, the clips to attach the shades to the windows are awful quality. They snap or fall off. This has made me very nervous as the clips could fall into my baby's car seat. For the price of the shades the clips to attach need to be vastly improved.”

“Bmw x5 e70. Let down by the poor instructions on how to fit, the images are not clear and took me over an hour to figer out the best way to secure the shades and I am a automotive technician. I thought the clips provided are generic and not vehicle specific. This is the only let down, these shades are very well made and high quality, I would 100% buy again and recommend. Let down by an easy fix otherwise 5 stars.”

“Blinds are of high quality however two of the CL-M05 clips were broken so the blinds are not attached well. Also the lever that was advertised in your video was not supplied. If possible I’d like replacement CL-M05 and lever please.”

“The shades are ok… i would not describe them as premium quality. However, they are not poor quality. They are tailor fit but not to the best possible fitment. The clips are rubbish and they need some sort of instruction with each clip labelled. All in all a 6/10 !”

“A good solution for window shades, but the fit is not as good as I had hoped and I am regularly popping them back in. The “shade” it creates is good, but we bought for a newborn and it is probably not strong enough for her.”

“This was my 2nd set of car shades , bought for my 2010 Mercedes’ A Class . The 1st set purchased for my 2007 A class fitted fine . This set works fine on the side windows and rear windows , but the rear quarter window covers don’t fit well and fall off soon after fitting , despite multiple attempts to refit . Very frustrating .”

“Whilst the shades themselves fit well, the clips are of a poor quality. During the first journey with the blinds fitted, my son got his fingers under the bottom edge of the blind and pulled, causing the rear clip to break.”

“Although the shades look very professional made and do filter some light out, the fit in the windows was not perfect, leaving small gaps for light to come in, and the largish holes in the mesh meant that my baby was still squinting as the sunlight shone through the window in her face. Perhaps the mesh needs to have smaller apertures?”

Hi Sarah - if you would like any more clips sending to attach to your frame to try and remove any small gaps, please drop us an email to reviews@carshades.co.uk and we'll get these out to you asap.

“I felt some problems installing the rear passenger window protections. The underside of the lining of the Volvo V40/2019's rear doors are not flat but an wedge. So it is not possible to hold the sun protection easily at the bottom. The best solution was to work with two CL-M02 clips from the inside, at the bottom of the sun protection and the two CL-M05 clips at the top, otherwise the protection would fall to the glass side. I had to avoid using the CL-M02 clips on the other sunscreens set. I don't know what the result will be in a long time.”

“Not as easy to fit as the short videos suggest, a lot stiffer than the ones used in those videos for sure. Saying that this means they are very sturdy. Also the clips are not as easy to use as the videos. Not exactly what I expected but do the job. But for what they are the price is very high. If they fitted the windows perfectly they would be worth the money but there are slight gaps and don’t fit like I thought they would. Overall opinion is average.”

“I ordered two sets of shades for our cars, unfortunately there were no clips in one kit, however a quick email sorted that and they were delivered promptly- these things happen from time to time. The manuals are very very poor, it leaves a fair bit of guess work when it comes to fitting the clips and which way round they go. I bought them as our 8 month old little boy has Cataracts in both eyes so bright light aggravates his little eyes. On the plus side they do look good and I think they will do the job. Just not sure on how sturdy the the clips will hold the shades in place.”

Hi Arwel - thanks for your feedback, and we are glad your clip issue got quickly resolved. We also acknowledge your comment about the installation manual and are currently working our way through a programme to update the manuals that need improvement. Thanks again for the constructive feedback.

“Shades fit well enough and look good on my Volvo V60. However, the fitting manual is poor and needs improvement/elaboration. The upper fixing clip, positioned in accordance with the manual, fouls the top of the rear door window glass, stopping the glass from closing so has to be removed and put to the side.”

“Nice windows shades. Good quality materials, excellent fit. Preferable to window tint. I would have preferred a purchase option of rear passenger windows plus fixed rear side windows, omitting the rear window (ie 4 pieces). At the moment you offer either passenger windows (2), or the whole set of 5.”

Hi Paul Thanks for your feedback and we recognise the point you are making and it is something that we are looking at the possibility of offering in the future. The reason why we offer either Rear Passenger door sets or Full Rear Sets and not the option for individual load windows or tailgate windows is that we manufacture them in these sets configurations and the load area windows and tailgate shades aren't manufactured on their own. However, as stated this is something we have under review and may offer in the future. Thanks
