Plasticolor 003700R01 Star Wars Accordion Sunshade

This is the third one of these I've purchased over the years with the same scene of the Millennium Falcon cockpit. We have one in each car, and I somehow managed to lose one, so replaced it with another identical one. They definitely help keep the steering wheel cooler when parked in the sun.

I wanted this over a year ago when a friend of mine posted it on Facebook. The price has dropped since then and I figured I better buy it quick, since it has gone off the market every now and then here. When I measured the window for my car I realized the shade would be 10 inches too big and even though a lot of other reviews stated it was too big for their car, I still wanted to try. I was in no way disappointed when it arrived. The shade is made of the normal silver sunshade material on one side and the printed image of Han and gang looking out of the Millennium Falcon on the other (good if you're paranoid like me someone will steal it in a bad neighborhood, especially if your car is a jeep, so you can flip it to the non-Star Wars image then). None of the elastic bands have broken on it and it folds up nicely when you don't need it. Also the size isn't really a problem. It fits width wise and length wise, it is a little big, but I just let the ends cover the sides a bit, which is fine, cause you never know what angle the sun will come into your car and I hate it when the Texas heat makes it impossible to touch the steering wheel. Since it folds, too, you can just fold the image a bit too, if it's too much of a problem. I'm excited to have to have this and use it when it gets warmer. I'm pretty sure if it ever fades I'll probably buy another one, too.

This seems pretty high quality and fits in my Kia Sorento... so I'm a happy shopper! It is very stiff so it is a LITTLE difficult to put up, but I can easily stick it next to the passenger seat and it doesn't seem to be too much in the way for the passenger. The design looked good when I put it up the few times I have used it. The best part is the fans that see it really love it. I got this when it was on sale and I think it was well worth the price. It would make a great gift for Star Wars lovers! This did a pretty good job blocking out the sun that was directly hitting the front of the car... which is something that some people might actually want to know. ;)

This sunshade works just like a sunshade should. It shades the dashboard of a car from the sun. The shade is a little cheap, and in the heat of a Texas summer, not only does it lose its stiffness (if you have ever left plastic in a car and it gets really hot, and you were able to bend that plastic however you wanted because it lost its stiffness, you know what this sunshade will do in significant heat). When the shade begins to melt like this in the Texas heat, at anywhere from 90 degrees F or higher, it also has a strong and unpleasant odor that smells like plastic that is on fire. I knew this shade wasn't going to be the highest of quality when I bought it (and btw, I paid $33 for it, apparently from an Amazon scalper, before it was Amazon-fulfilled for $15), but I went for it because it was Star Wars, and the concept was very cool. The shade does not fit my 2007 Pontiac G6 very well (there are small gaps on each side about 2" wide where sun gets in, and between that and the heat, it is hard to tell what is on the shade, unless you are right beside the car, looking directly at the shade. The print on the shade is a little faded anyway, so that doesn't do it any favors. I know I haven't said anything terribly positive about it, and true, it does not really fit my car well. But I give it 4 stars, and I've been using it for 9 months now without replacing it, because it's Star Wars, and I'm a fanboy. I know what my sunshade has on it, even if other people don't, and that's enough for me. I'm not proud of the (nearly) blind loyalty to Star Wars, but what can I do.

Perfect fit, looks great and really helps keep my car cool in the summer. Also gives me a smile when I look at it. Easy to install in my SUV.. like the strap to keep it closed when you take it down.

Bien

I love the design! Been using it for over a month now parked at work under the direct sunlight, and the quality appears to be lasting, no fading or flaking yet. The biggest problem is that it does not fit the front window of my car (BMW 3 Series), which is a pretty standard size window for a sedan. It is too big. As a result, the Millennium Falcon design does not show properly, looking kind of wrinkled since I am unable to fully unfold the accordion fold, and the corners have become permanently bent from being crinkled up to fit in the corners of my windshield. Still, the price is right and I'm a huge sucker for anything Star Wars, so if it does end up getting faded and flaking like other reviewers are saying, I'll probably be buying another one...

Been wanting this for a long time. Bought from a different seller on Amazon who stupidly had a crease going the long way across the item, thereby defeating the "accordion" standing ability. It's a bit wide for my compact SUV's windshield but it's fine. No suction cups to leave circular marks, simply hold in place using your car's sun visors, easy. Thick & rigid, doesn't flex as much as other sun shades I've gotten.

I’ve seen these for awhile and I really wanted one. Finally I’ve got one. It’s built out of a sort of plastic aluminum foil material with little bubbles in it. When not in use it folds up accordion style and has a handy strap with Velcro on it. To put it up in the car it’s quite easy. You just undo the the Velcro strap and place the middle under your rear view mirror; smoothing out the remaining portions to get to the edges of the window. Folding your sunshade visits down over it to secure. I’ve used this for over a week and notice it helps my car stay cool when I park it in a sunny place. I really like how it looks and it works well too!

Excelente producto! Lo compré principalmente por la temática pero resulto muy útil. Aísla muy bien el auto de la temperatura exterior. Además, la entrega fue antes de los pactado.

Tolles Teil, leider ist mein Auto etwas zu klein, so daß ich die äußeren Teil eingeplant lassen muss. Sieht trotzdem gut aus

Works a treat and looks great

It disintegrated after being exposed to the sun once spilling plastic flakes everywhere in my car.
