The car shades fit well and were easy to fit - very pleased with them.
Only 4 stars as the description on the website for our Jaguar XF Estate was confusing - it said 6 shades. I queried with customer services before ordering as I wanted assurance that the tailgate shade was included - they said it was but I was still confused at the description. Ordered anyway - there were 8 shades, including the 2 to fit the tailgate, so I was relieved.
Was recommended this product by a friend. Couldn’t have been more straightforward. Shades fit perfectly on VW T-Roc, installation was a doddle and the storage bag was an unexpected nice touch to store them away in the winter months.
Ignore the bad reviews, fantastic product!
I bought the sunshades as a gift to my daughter to protect her baby from Malta`s sun in her Citroen C1. After 2 days from installation some of the retaining clips (held by double sided tape) simply fell off and the shades became a safety hazard to the baby due to their weight. I contacted CarShades and sent them photos in the hope of getting better retaining clips, but almost a month has passed and I have not heard anything from them. What a waste of money this has been!
Shocking customer service.
Sent the wrong shades. I emailed 6 times without response. 4 phone calls later and they wanted me to take a photo of me holding the shades next to my windows to prove they didn’t fit and that I actually had the correct car.
Each time I called they told me they would respond to my emails. I never had one response.
The fact that they have a “returns manager” address listed on their website should tell you everything you need to know. So many returns they have to employ someone to deal with this one specific issue.
Stay away from this company.
Car Shades are vehicle specific car sun shades that are tailor-made to fit all rear windows of your car to keep the sun out of precious little eyes and make car journeys less stressful for everyone. They fit using our patented clips and not to the glass so you can still wind the rear passenger windows down to allow natural airflow into the car whilst the Car Shade stays in place. Manufactured in the UK for over 800 models.

I did a quick check via email to ensure that I was choosing the correct product for my vehicle.
I received an email the following day and placed my order.
The product arrived the following day and I can honestly say that my expectations were exceeded!
I was a little concerned that the shades would go across both the main rear window and the quarter light but they are in fact separate shades for each.
Like any man, I tried to fit the shades without reading the instructions but once I did, the rear passenger window shades were fitted in less than 5 minutes and whilst the rear windscreen took a little longer, it did not take more than 10 minutes.
I considered window tinting but the total price for my shades were about the same price as it would have been to tint one window.
All in all, I am very pleased with a well made and good quality product I have done over 500 miles some of which has been with a window open and none of the shades have moved.
They look great too.

Terrible product, been waiting weeks for replies for email complaints and refund requests. No customer service, hideously overpriced, literally nothing good about them

I ordered a back set firstly which I assumed was 2 back windows and back window on my Nissan Qashqai but for some reason it was cancelled so I rang them up and the lady said she’ll sort it and send them to me in republic Ireland which cost me double but I didn’t mind as I thought they were a good product but when they arrived they only had 2 for the back doors??when I mailed them they said that’s what I ordered which really frustrated me and they said they would swap them if I sent them back and paid the price difference which I can’t understand why I have to when all I want was the back window one…they said I can only buy the three together so something that should’ve cost me worst case scenario £70 has now trebled…I thought as a gesture of goodwill they would send it to me but no chance…it would cost me well over €200 to get this sorted and I’m shocked by this company and never again just run for the hills terrible customer service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent easy and fast ordering, great fit, covers window perfect, you can still open and shut the window and the shade doesn’t move.
Would like the option to buy just the boot side windows shades for my Mondeo estate without the rear one?

Well made and true to fit. Returning customer (set number 3) Fitted my 2018 Mini Countryman perfectly and provide privacy and a cooler boot area for my old Border Collie.

The quality and fit of these shades is fantastic. I was nervous to go for non-OE accessories as they are usually poor quality and the fit is usually bad. I couldn't reccomend these shades enough... So much so I have now purchased another set for my car (first set was for my wife's car)!

Bought these for my Dacia Logan MCV 2018. I'm not one to usually leave reviews but kinda felt I needed to for this.
First things first, I have the touch of an elephant and quite often break stuff when trying to fit/put together.
These shades went in unbelievably easy, instructions were very thorough and I fitted all shades in about 10 minutes, I'd be able to do it under 5 now I know how the clips go.

Perfect fit.
The car shades purchased are an exact fit for our car, no spaces left "unshaded" !
Noticed it's also a good way to keep the flies / bugs our the car too.
With the weather picking up and having two kids under 2 in the back we will certainly benefit from Car Shades.
High quality, durable shades - great value.

Firstly they had the car in question which was impressive. Then from order to delivery was so fast, the quality was great and they fit the car like a glove. Couldn’t be happier!
