Buy Jeep Cling Sunshade

Customer Ratings:

Some of the newer cars windows have enough of a curve to them to not allow suction cups to stick. Unfortunately I found this to be the case on my 09 forrester. Hoever these work very well. Very easy to install, do not inhibit rolling down the window, and keeps my 1 year old scream free on sunny days!.

I took one star off because of packaging---they are incredibly wrinkled out of the package because they folded over and over making it near impossible to get out all the bubbles. Being that I work with vinyl decals for a hobby I layed them in the sun for an hour and lightly heated them with a hair dryer and it greatly helped getting them to lay flat. However if they were sold rolled in a tube or in a flat fed-ex style envelope this would not be an issue.

It does the job well and for $5 for two is really the best buy. Our windows were already factory tinted but there was still too much light being passed through the window and these shades have helped. It's also nice that they aren't permanent.

To get all the air bubbles out and as nice as an installation as you could expect, you should install them similar to how professional window tint installer do. Here's what I did that works as good as can be expected, you'll need a spray bottle, a squeegee or credit card and some lint free towels.

1. Once you receive the shades, unbox them and lay each of them out somewhere on a flat surface, add a book or something else heavy on top of them to flatten out the creases created from the packaging of them. For best results, leave it this way for a few days to a week. Check on it here and there to see how the creases are doing. The creases will likely never fully flatten, but the softer the crease, the better the outcome.

2. Grab a spray bottle of something that contains a very slightly soapy liquid. I used window cleaner, but you might not want to use it if it contains ammonia as ammonia is known to damage after-market window tinting. You could probably just make your own by adding a drop or two of dishwashing soap to a spray bottle of water.

3. Clean and remove fingerprints, stickers and other gunk from the inside of the window where you'll be installing the shade. Dry it off using a microfiber towel or other relatively low lint cloth.

4. With the window all the way up, spray the area where you'll be installing the sunshade coating lightly with the solution, try not to spray so much that the solution is running down the window.

5. Gently apply the sunshade, make sure that wherever it makes contact with the window that the area is wet. Since the window is wet, you should be a able to slide the shade around and into its final position.

6. Use the squeegee and working from the center to the edge, squeeze out the water and wipe up the excess. Try not to apply too much pressure as if it stretch it out, otherwise it will be an irregular shape when finished. If everything goes well, you should have a near bubble-less installation, with the exception of the creases.

If done this way, it should not interfere with the operation of lowering and raising the window. At least, I didn't have any problems.

Lastly, a few things to mention:

* These are sunshades so while they do block some of the light, they don't do anything for the heat.

* They aren't anything like having a professional tint your windows because the surface of the film isn't as smooth and does cause some minor distortion when looking through them.

* If you want to block heat and some privacy, you'd still need to have your windows tinted.

This sunshade worked perfect for our 15 day road trip. The kids did not complain one time about sunlight in their eyes. It clings to the windows without any problems and you can cut it to any shape or window size. It is large enough to cover the majority of the window, or more than normal window shades. Because it clings to the window, there is no problem rolling the window down (which I loved.)

I ordered 2 boxes of these to cover the 4 windows in my SUV. My back windows are smaller and I was able to cut one in half to cover two windows. This left me 1 extra. I cut this one and used it for the top 3" of the driver's and front seat passenger's window. You know where that sunlight comes in at the top edge of your window and blinds you? Well, I didn't have any problems with that the entire trip.

The one negative is that it can be difficult to get these on without having air bubbles trapped. While it states that you can stretch them, I wouldn't recommend it. This just causes more air bubbles. I found it easier to start in the center and work your way out it all directions for a smoother look.

I do consider these disposable. I threw them away and will be purchasing more for our next trip.

Honest reviews on Jeep Cling Sunshade

I was looking for a sunscreen that I could apply and remove with ease and this item does the trick. Not only can I remove it but I can cut to it to any size or shape and it still clings to window. I recommend this item and would purchase it again.

I bought this when my son turned forward facing and we moved him from the middle to the passenger side of the car. We have an suv with large windows and it really seems to block out the sun. Our car has dark tinted windows, but it didn't block the sun like we thought. We found the best way to install it was to spray the window with a lot of windex, put the shade up and the spray a little more windex on the shade. You can then use a credit card to smooth out all the bubble and it stays up really well. It is a good buy and we somehow didn't have to pay shipping which made it even better!
