these blinds fit really well

these blinds fit really well
much better than universal roller blinds
the only issue i had was getting the.bottim clips on as they are mega tight (top ones much easier) fitting into the window was easy enough once I figured where the clips needed to be seated

got them on offer so saved a bit of money and look like they will add a bit more shade to the lightly tinted windows

Hit and miss products - just buy the OEM options

Hit and miss products.
First set for a previous vehicle were great, fit easily and remained sturdy without any issue.

I recently bought a new set for a new car, and the fit was awful. It took me a few weeks to isolate an annoying constant rattle in the back of my car, only to work out that the shades rattle constantly because they have split the rear window shade to save on shipping costs, which only serves to make the rear window shade fit badly and have a horrible line down the middle that lets light through.
Customer service just dismissed my complaint about the quality and said they wouldn't give me a refund because it had been over 30 days since I ordered.

I'll be honest I'm very disappointed with my second set and would not buy from them again.

I'd just get the OEM option instead.

Disappointing customer service

Disappointing customer service

Ordered car shades for my 2016 Honda Civic, but they didn’t fit. When I contacted customer service, they explained that my car had been manufactured as the earlier model despite being registered in 2016, which was why the shades I ordered didn’t fit. I understand that model changes can overlap with registration dates, but I feel this distinction should have been made much clearer when ordering.

Despite the fact that the product wasn’t suitable for my vehicle, they refused to provide a prepaid return label, meaning I had to pay the return postage myself. This was frustrating as the package is large and therefore expensive to return.

I would have expected better customer service and some goodwill in resolving the issue, particularly given the cost and inconvenience of returning a large parcel.

Lies, Denied Returns, Only Got Money Back via Bank

I was stupid enough to use this company after a bad experience a year previously and wish I hadn't have bothered!

After receiving an already used item that was damaged, it was agreed with the company that I could return at my own expense! Which seemed unfair anyway, considering the damage to the product and the fact it had already been used.

I returned the item correctly after speaking with a member of staff via email, tracked it, and it was signed for and delivered to them with photo evidence. Yet they falsely claimed they never received it and refused to process my refund but without telling me! They just ignored me.

It was only after I escalated the dispute directly through my bank and provided all the evidence that I finally got my money back. The bank had to step in because this company refused to accept liability and do the right thing.

If you order from here, be very careful. They will lie about receiving returns just to keep your money. I've never dealt with a company so dishonest. Save yourself the stress and shop somewhere that actually treats customers with respect.

Good quality product

Good quality product, delivered quickly and well packaged complete with zip up nylon storage bag for when not in use. Easy to fix in car and an excellent fit even in my 20 year old Jaguar XJ6.

Excellent Product

The shades were easy to order, quick to arrive, relatively simple to install, are of excellent quality, fit exactly as advertised, look great and provide excellent shade.
The only thing that would have made the experience better is if the paper and online instructions were simpler to follow. This is an easy fix -just show a close up of the clips and which direction they face on the window.

As a follow-up to my June 2026…

As a follow-up to my June 2026 favorable review: It seems that the self-adhesive mounting clips are inadequate for the job, at least during the summer months in southern Europe. The vehicle's exterior can attain temperatures higher than 70 - 80°C (as reported by the Swiss Touring Club) after several hours of sunlight exposure. The adhesive softens, causing the clip to lose its grip. The technology of these clips needs adjustment to work effectively in our tropical climate conditions. Lampa, the Italian retailer of CarShades, has been extremely kind, providing four spare self-adhesive mounting clips (code CL-P03) free of charge, which was greatly appreciated. Let's see if they stick until next summer

Scam of a company

Scam of a company. AVOID.
Purchased window shades where their own website claim were compatible for my model of a car as it was post 2017.
Turns out after a lot of back and forth on phone calls and emails of me explaining they were not compatible and left LARGE gap, after scratching my window frame repeatedly trying their conflicting instructions, they were not compatible. Was told to return them for a full refund. Return was fully on me to pay and arrange and when I questioned why this was after they claimed it was compatible, was told “they could not keep up with every car model” and it was on me to check this even after they claimed it was compatible for any model 2017 onwards…
Asked to speak to a supervisor and Tiffany claimed no supervisor was in the office on 3pm weekday,
appalling service and no attempt made to help in any way.

Absolutely dreadful customer service!!

Absolutely dreadful customer service! Whatever happened to customer always being right?! We ordered some rear window car shades which didn't fit our car. The clips wouldn't clip onto the shade to hold it in place and when we tried to fix them into the window surround they sat proud and scratched the glass. On the basis of all this, and the shades were not fit for purpose. The company offered a refund on the basis that we weren't happy with the shades but have refused point blank to refund the postage, saying they don't do that!! We have pointed out, on multiple occasions that as required under the Consumer Rights Act, they are obligated to refund the cost of the return postage but they have argued at every stage that they are not willing to repay the postage cost. They have now taken to ignoring all emails!!! Never in all my life have I come across such a shoddy outfit. Needless to say, Citizens Advice and Trading Standards have been informed!!

I’m really impressed with these car shades! They’ve been such a useful addition, especially with our baby girl arriving soon. They fit really well, are easy to put up, and do a great job at helping to block out the sun and keep the car feeling more comfortable.

I love that they give us extra peace of mind knowing we can help protect our little one from bright sunlight while travelling, and they look really sleek too. They’re simple to use, don’t get in the way, and are something we’ll definitely be using regularly.

A practical must-have for any parent or anyone wanting a bit more shade and comfort on car journeys!

Excellent item

Excellent item, sent super fast and just as described.
Only thing I don't overly like is the boot window coming in two parts, can see the clips from the outside.
Keeps the sun out of the kids faces and I can keep the parcel shelf off and no one seeing inside the boot. Handy to give more space for pram etc.
Overall great product and delivery service :)

These car shades are one of the best on the market. They are designed to fit your car window and allow you to open the window during those hot sunny days, without the worry of suction cups getting in the way.
It’s also a great way of keeping kids asleep in the car as it creates a dark environment.
