SolarGuard Sunshade for Car Windshield - Reflective Car Shades for Windshield, Blocks Damaging UV Rays - for Use on Front Window Exterior, Includes Security Flaps - Silver, Standard Size

External sun shade- check. Block sun adequately- check. Covers windshield properly - no.. and it could have easily. As others have said, the poles do not have a top AND bottom pocket for the pole to slide into, so the stretchy bands that attach to the mirror pull the fabric inwards and the sun shield in never “stretched” along the length of the poles. I’ll sew in appropriate pockets and then it will work properly. UPDATE- the poles can fit inside the fabric sleeve. The top is by the velcro and the poll slides inside. The white pole should not be visible. Updated to 4/5 stars- poor instructions

This product works very well. I have their FrostGuard cover that I have used for years in the winter and is excellent too. For those who have trouble assembling the rods, please just study the cover well before inserting them. The rods go inside each sleeve in their entirety before closing the Velcro over the final end. Do not try to insert the rods under the individual black elastic bands. Keep the rods enclosed inside the entire sleeves and look for the proper starting point to begin. The stitching does not interfere. Hope this helps!

Perfect fit for My Subaru 2024 Crosstrek. Instructions are a little lacking in the placement of the plastic rods. Thanks to the comments of other users problem solved. Now if it stands up to the summer elements it is solution for the problem of interior sunshades with installed dash cams. Easy to install remove and store .

I use this during the summer and OMG, it is a game changer! Traditional interior window shades trap heat between the glass and the shade. Even the tiniest amount of space turns the car into an oven. This shade eliminates that heat gap protecting my car (and hands!) from the sun. Temps in my area get to be 90°-100°+ F in the summer. Using this shade keeps my car at least 20° cooler than a standard interior shade and 30° cooler than not using it. Its thin material makes it easy to fold and it easily fits in a seat-back pocket. easy to put on the windshield. Just tuck it under the wipers on breezy days. The size is perfect and the elastic makes sure it fits taught across the entire windshield of my 2025 Hyundai Tucson. I couldn’t be more pleased with this!

Material does block the sun, though the assembly and workmanship of the product is lacking. First of all there should be 2ea pockets on either side of the sunshield to hold the ends of the left and right supporting rods that are inserted. Instead, there is 1 pocket on the top of the shield (either side) that are 2 small to support the poles with the protective caps on them. So what happens, is the poles end up sliding out the bottom of the sun shield, even when the bands are wrapped around either side of the vehicle mirrors to draw the sunshield taught across the windshield. Poor quality control! Mine will be returned with No customer satisfaction.
