Windshield Car Umbrella

Windshield Car Umbrella

This thing was dirt cheap, it opens easily and collapses to a VERY compact size which fits in my door map pocket, and fits my windshield extremely well with minimal gap. The top surface is not entirely flat when open, it's concave, which I think might be an intentional design to compensate for the rearview mirror being in the way. It needs the visors to hold it in place, it won't stay up without them. My only complaint is that straight out of the pouch it had a terrible odor, like a dead fish! I suggest you do what I did, open it and Febreze the fabric surfaces thoroughly front and back, and let it dry a long while. Now every time I install it in the windshield it creates a nice aroma in the car.

2nd update: We've used this for nearly 6 months and it's still working perfectly. I take it down and put it back up at least twice everyday. Remember to hanlde it gently - don't ram it into place like you might with a rain umbrella.Update + pics: I've had this for a few weeks and I'm still really happy with it. There are some reviews saying that this scratched the interior of their car, but as long as you're gentle/careful about opening and closing it, it's not an issue. There are no scrapes on my dashboard.Original review: Okay this thing is amazing. I shopped around for a while, unsure of which sun cover to get for my 2021 Honda CR-V. This looked like the most practical and space-saving option and is relatively very inexpensive, so I figured why not try it.This thing sets up and collapses like a breeze. The touch screen of my car would get too hot just sitting in the sun, but this thing already fixed the problem. I love how it fits into the driver's-side door pocket no prob.The cover does NOT completely fill out the windshield, but covers most of it. For me though, it still does the job and more. I'm super happy with my purchase and hope that it holds up.

The media could not be loaded. Â I was a bit iffy about these at first. seemed a bit pricey. but now that I have a couple I have to say I am sold. gonna get a couple more for the car and the bus.The one piece convenience and the small packing is nice. YES the $5 and less shades work 100% as well but how often do you fight with them. they fall down. or wiggling them into position and getting them to stay put.This is on the delicate side. its ultimately an UMBRELLA after all. thing metal fabric connection. but if your not rough with them they hold up fine. I have set and removed mine about 30 times now and so far 0 issues and nothing coming apart and it really stays put where you set it (closer to the class less radiant conversion on the inside of the glass!! and this does that well.I carefully (and yes you can do it both ways one handed) expand the unit in the car making sure i am not jamming any of the delicate fingers on anything that might break of bend them. I slide it up into the windscreen making sure to get it under my solar panel so that will still work to keep the battery charged)Once I have it set and am satisfied I flip the sun visors and THAT is what "pins" the whole setup solidly in place. it does not move.When you fold it up do be careful with the final set of fingers. you have to manually fold those in and they are the most delicate. not hard just be aware of it when you fold it up. wrap it tight with the velco wrap down around up around criss cross and use your fingers to "feed" the loose fabric into the holder once its all in the rest just slide in no problem.I am very happy with this. would definitely recommend. the vehicle here is a 2002 dodge dakota slt quad cab. fits perfectly.

This item is great and very easy to use and store when not being used. Much better than the tradition "foldable" car shades. Highly recommend this item
