Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent shades, easy to fit (once I actually looked at the instructions properly...!), kids happy they can see out easy enough still (better than the view through the window 'socks' you can get) and really blocks a decent amount of light. Bonus that we can now wind one window down in the back without that annoying painful noise!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have used shades on three different vehicles and they fitted perfectly on each one. They were straight forward to fit and stayed in place with no movement or distortion.
They really work at keepi
ng it cooler inside the vehicle. They make it very difficult for anybody to "peer" inside the car but barely restrict the ability to see out.
Their after sales service is excellent and their advice is really helpful.

Can't fault these, excellent shades that fit my car perfectly, easy to fit (if you read the instructions properly) and you can see out easily enough, but block a fair amount of sun glare at the same time.
I like the look of the car with them in place also, darkening the rear windows.
Bought these in March, but waited for a while to review, so I had a genuine opinion of how they are.

British Product. Great prompt service and communication. Fabulous looking and easy to fit. Fits perfectly to my Golf R Estate and darkens already tinted glass so people cannot see into car now. Perfect for stealth camping/sleeping in my car.

Awful

Awful. Told my address wasn't found in the system, so I requested to cancel the order. Told it was too late to cancel as blinds had in fact been shipped. Email later received saying order was cancelled.

Awful service. Found the staff rude and automated customer service emails unhelpful.

Not compatible …

Bought a set of rear window car shades for my Volvo V60 R design. Delivery was prompt, the shades were of good quality, however, they didn't fit my model. Aftercare team was helpful in organising a refund. DHL came to my house to collect the items and return to Car shades. A refund was issued a couple of weeks later. The reason for the 3* is they didn't have compatible shades for my actual model. The company, however, did refund my purchase free of postal charge

Excellent Car Window Shades - Recommended

I’ve purchased multiple sets of window shades from Car Shades and can say they’re delivered well packaged, are a doddle to install, fit excellently and do a fantastic job of keeping the sun out of my sons eyes, whilst still allowing the car window to open if necessary. Highly recommended - don’t buy the cheap universal ones, get a set from Car Shades and you won’t be disappointed!

Perfect Blinds for my Skoda…

The car shades are perfect for my Skoda Kodiaq. They are easy to fit and the fit itself is perfect. They stay in place even allowing you to lower windows whilst on the move and still remain in place. From the outside they provide an effective dark tint effect so people can’t look on easily. You can still look out pretty well. It keeps the car cooler in hot weather too.
I’m very pleased with the set of 5 rear window blinds purchased.

High quality shades delivered fast!

The order was delivered promptly ahead of the estimate which was good ( see below) the shades fitted perfectly( and easily) and were top quality. My only grumble was that after seeing the delivery estimate and realising I would be out that day I contacted the sales office to delay sending my order out. I didn’t get a reply but as above they arrived early so everything worked out in the end!

Great for those with kids!

Have bought these for 2 cars for our kids. They are great at keeping most of the sun out of the back of the car.
Expensive however they are a fit exactly to your make and model car so 1000 times better than those cling on sun shades for kids. Another bonus is that you can still put your windows down without compromising the shade.
Suggestions for R&D - an extra clip for the back windows and either add designs on the inside for kids or have the option to black out even further for naps?
Will buy again when we upgrade the car :)
