Scarlet Gem Car Window Sun Shades – Universal Fit Premium Quality Twin Pack Covering Entire Rear Side Window Providing Maximum UV Protection Allowing Window to Open & Shut

Bought these to fit a Kia Ceed estate car and according to the description they would be ideal. Unfortunately they were absolutely massive; in order to get them taut they had to be pulled so far down they cover the door handle, otherwise they'd be flapping all over the show. Sent them back.Might be ok on a big Range Rover or, I don't know, a tank or something.

These sun shades that come in a pack of two work by completely covering your window and providing a complete sun block.Pros:- They're pretty quick to put on / off- They allow you to keep the window open and let some air through on particularly hot days (handy for when your air con hasn't quite cooled the car down yet)- They do a very good job of blocking out ALL sunlight as they cover the entire window (including the small window at the rear of the door on a saloon)Cons:- Installation involves sticking two large velcro pads onto the inside metal of your door, I've not tried to remove this yet but it's very strong tape so imagine this might leave behind some residue. It also means if you've got two cars these covers aren't transferable and you'll need to buy two sets!- They're not particularly aesthetically pleasing which in my house means they're not wife-proof. She thinks they make it look like your car has had its back window put through and you've taped a black bin liner over it as a temporary measure, and she's not wrong- As the covers are installed completely over the top of the door/window it means there is material exposed to the outside elements. This probably means if you left them on overnight in the rain they would eventually start to go rotten/mouldy and stink to high heaven.Overall these do the job, and have the unique property of allowing you to keep baby's window open during really hot summer days, but they're not the most aesthetically pleasing bits of kit on the market. I bought two packs of these so we'd have one for each car, but the wife has now reverted to standard Mothercare sunshades while I drive round with a "smashed back window"

I really like the idea of this product and that it allows the window to still be opened, unlike the ones which use suction pads, however I did not quite find the size right on this 'universal fit'. It comes up a couple of inches short on my windows, which is not ideal, however I needed them quickly for a trip so ended up keeping them and using them anyway, and they have pretty much done the trick anyway. I like the coverage they provide with the double layer of the fabric. My children are all very fair and have sensitive skin and hate having the sun in their eyes and they have been much happier since I bought these. They do seem to create a good deal of shade in the back and have the additional bonus of keeping hands inside open windows! In all I am happy with my purchase for the cost but would have preferred those couple of inches.

Such a amazing item! saved me so much time fiddling about with stick on shades. Only downside is a bit saggy on the 2nd car, smaller doors but would be good if they could be adjusted but amazing either way.

This was such a great buy during this August heatwave. We travelled to Yorkshire and back and it was a great help with a 9 month baby.The main advantage was that windows can still be opened with the shade still in tact, letting in much needed cool air.It was a little dark as it's a double layer of mesh fabric but that can be tolerated.

It does the job, keeps the sun off my son but it’s so big that it’s baggy on the window which isn’t a huge problem but does look a bit shabby.Ours is a Peugeot 3008 but seems like it would better suit a much bigger car door/window.Not easy to fold either as it’s so big!

These fit a 2017 BMW 3 series well in terms of shape, they are however a little baggy and difficult to keep taught - not a huge issue but do prevent them from looking ‘fitted’.That said, this is a universal fit product, so scores highly!

These have been great on those unbelievably hot days. when your children are stuck in traffic with you or doing a long journey, they are shaded and can have the window open for fresh air.
