These are a little flimsy and don't exactly stay in place. But they do block the sun with a little help from water bottles I shove up under the shade. Here's the thing, as you open the umbrella like fitting feature on the shaft, the shade opens and you slide it up under the mirror and pull the Velcro strap around to hold it. You push the footing higher and the whole shade opens further and you push it towards the windshield. BUT, the spindly little arms and hinges don't stay out straight and the weight of the handle pulls it away from the glass and makes the edges not fit tight. So then you create a little oven between the shade and the glass. And on one of my cars the handle bumps and lays against my emergency blinker button so if I hadn't noticed the battery would be dead. All that being said my solution is to shove spare water bottles, that I keep in the car, up under the shade to press it against the glass. It has kept the car some cooler. I live in Texas so cooler is often difficult but it has helped. I do like that when you close it up it only takes about the same space as an umbrella. And it only took using it twice to figure out how to make it stay in place. It does extend to the edges of the window frame but just doesn't stay there without some help. I also wonder if thicker silver film or fabric would block the heat better. Dunno

I drive a Toyota Corolla, and I was hoping this umbrella would fit inside my windshield. Unfortunately, it did not fit; it was a bit too big, length wise. Also, sometimes the pegs of the ends of the umbrella would get stuck into the base, making it a small inconvenience trying to expand the umbrella. Lastly, my umbrella arrived with it’s base ring cracked. I’m still using the umbrella shade because I like the convenience. I resolved the stuck pegs by removing the entire base, and the shade would go into my car door when I expand it.

It does cover the entire windshield, but it smelled terrible when I opened it the first time, and the arms are much flimsier than your average umbrella. Not sure I would buy the same one again.

This thing works great. You just have to have a little common sense to use it. Some reviews say it’s flimsy. It has to be somewhat flimsy to use but it’s made that way. Your sun shades will hold it in place. I’m buying a second one for my wife’s car. It reduces the heat immensely. Just remember that if you have trouble figuring out how to use a pencil this product is probably not for you.

The size that says will fit my car was too small. Giving away and reordering the one that says will not fit. Only reason for the 4 stars. Does store away nicely and I feel like if the 2-3” weren’t exposed, it would do it’s job.
