Not your average window shade. Thick screen, I love it!
I bought a couple different shades from Amazon and this one is the best for a shade with visibility. It’s not your average, thin, barely there, screen. This screen is robust, it’s dark, but you can still see through it. While my windows are tinted black, the darkest shade allowable in my state; I wanted additional sun protection. I live in a desert. This is exactly what I had in mind. I love that the screen is thicker than average and that it comes with 4 pieces with magnetic attachment. This doesn’t cover my Prius window completely but I’m still happy with it. I tucked the bottom into where the window meets the door. The bottom hangs lower on the backseat windows. It attaches on the door or onto the car where the door closes. Easy to install, adjust or remove. Looks great! Small enough to fold up and tuck away if not in use. Magnets seem to hold well.These shades are on all 4 windows. But my backseat has an additional shade that is a blackout curtain/mesh combo shade (purchased from Amazon). I did this to provide additional comfort and protection for my VIP. The mesh on the combo shade is not nearly as robust as this one. It’s very sheer and barely there.

Could have been a hit! Update: IS a hit!!
The other day I was thinking, "I've got to review these sun shades, these are great!". Took me a little while to get around to it and I guess that was a good thing because now I'm returning them. They were awesome and exactly what I wanted. It's not easy to find ones that block the sun as opposed to filtering it. And the universal fit actually fit pretty darn good on two very different vehicles. A '07 Camry and '13 Ford Edge SUV. Not perfect, but darn good coverage for a universaly sized shade. The magnets worked great, install was quick and easy to put on and shift around until I could get the best coverage.But it was the magnets that ultimately failed. They started shifting around in the seem. That meant some spots were secured extra well and other spots were not secure at all and it would sag. I'm not sure if they were meant to be loose in the seem or if they were glued in place and the heat of the sun caused the glue to fail? At least I can return 'em. The search continues for something similar that might hold up better...UPDATE: As usual, Amazon's return process has become quick and simple, but I ultimately chose to keep the sun shades. I had ordered a competitor's set and found the quality in the seems to be much worse than this brand. I also learned from further shopping that the magnets are designed to be moved around through the seem to get a better fit for each application. I'll up it to 4 stars because even though it's a good idea, once the magnets are positioned, the item offers no way to keep 'em where you want 'em. My wife suggested a safety pin, I may put a stich in the seem on either side of the magnets once positioned. I think it will be worth it because these definitely are higher quality than the competitor's I just bought. A word to those who are complaining they don't fit their car / SUV perfectly. These are a UNIVERSAL fit. The odds of a PERFECT seal is a million to one. To be a Universal fit, they can only cover MOST of the window. If you're looking for a perfect fit, I believe I've seen similar sun shade designed for SPECIFIC vehicles, but odds are you pay a lot more for that. I prefer the 90% coverage of the Universal fit, not just for the cost savings, but the ability to move 'em from my car to my wife's when needed.

I absolutely love product
These sun shades are fantastic! They fit perfectly on my car's rear, front, and side windows. Installation was super easy . They effectively block the sun, keeping my car cool

Just ok…not great
While the material quality of this car window shade seems durable, it doesn't fit my sedan as well as I had hoped. The fold marks appear to be permanent, but they don't significantly impact the overall appearance. However, the shade could definitely benefit from additional magnets to keep it securely in place.One notable issue is that, contrary to the product photos on Amazon, the shade does not stay flush against the window. This can be problematic when it's windy, as the shade may flap open and allow mosquitoes or other insects to enter the car. Despite these shortcomings, the shade does provide some relief from the sun and helps keep the car cooler.

Not perfect, but still great.
Picked up the pack of four (front + rear) plus another two rear for use in my 4runner while car camping.I like to sleep in the dark, and I don't like to be woken up at the first crack of dawn.First night out, was under a full moon so parked facing south, I put regular sun shade in the windshield, and these in front/rear side windows, and the two extras in the hatch, covering the back window (to block morning light). Propped a blanket up over the east side rear quarter window (the one that would catch the sunrise light). If I could use one of these in the rear quarter windows I would, but there's no metal all for the magnets to grab onto.Anyway, they worked great. It was dark, just the way I like it and I slept well. Easy to install, easy to remove, pretty easy to fold if you pay attention to the existing fold lines. Found another cloth bag to store them all in.The fitment isn't perfect, but there's no way they could be given all the different window shapes out there.I found I could stick them to the car body and close the door on it, or stick em to the metal at thetop of the window frame itself, and they'd open with the door. Both worked equally well.The bottom doesn't have any magnets in it, so they sometimes billow inwards, but found I could usually tuck em in a bit along the sides, to keep em close to the glass for maximum light blockage.Will use again. Hopefully the magnets stay in place.

Works well, if you can manage to get them to stay up.
I had to put the window down a bit and put the shades through, then put the wondow up. It worked well after that. The shades do not stick to the window as they claim.

Versatile and adaptable
The photos on Amazon show these being attached to the window frame but they can just as easily be attached to the metal car frame around the door so they can still be used in cars that don't have metal window frames.The other thing that is not mentioned is that the small magnets can be slid inside their sleeves to customize the fit. Great product, effective, easy to apply, (can be a little tricky if it's windy), easy to fold up into a small volume and store.

Does the job
Magnets in the lining move around. Can be frustrating when putting up and take a minute or two, and sometimes doesn't stay up very well because of their positioning.Otherwise gets the job done. Good for if you want to be in the back seat with a lady of the night and be unseen.Can get knocked down though easily from nightly activities as mentioned occasionally.

Good buy
It works well, easy to install and all the magnets were in place unlike some reviews. If anything it’s a tad bit small width ways (we’re talking an inch or so) but I didn’t measure it before buying because I don’t need it to cover everything.
