I love the snap shades for the UV protection it provides. I did expected the magnets to be a bit stronger as the shades do not stay in place with the window down as stated in the product Ad. Other than that they are great! Perhaps you could add a retainer of some sort or a magnetic strip at 90 degrees to help them stay in place. Show details

Perfect fit, this is the third snap shade I’ve had on different cars and they all fitted great, full coverage of front window easy to put up and stay in the same shape and strength compared to the cheap ones you can buy. More expensive but worth it. Show reply

I love how the product was made. I love how they effortlessly made to measure the item and put a brand name on it. I once forgot to close my window and went on a highway cruising on 80-100kph the magnetic didn’t even bother. My concern is since it is a premium fabric, everytime I check blind spot on left side rear window before changing lane, it’s… Read more

a little bit to dark for me. My car is old so blindspot warning is not installed that’s why my practice is to always make a quick look in my blind spot. But all in all, AMAZING PRODUCT!

I purchased my Snap shade for my Kona & have been extremely happy with it as my previous review states. However, it has failed the heat of FNQLD. The shade is bubbling. Find attached photo. I see someone else has experienced this. I hope Snap shades can assist with the next move. Thanks Show details ·  1

I bought front windscreen shade & rear door window shades for our new Santa Fe MY 26. Fits perfectly and keeps our car way cooler. Nothing is loose and falling off. I am specifically impressed with the Front windscreen shade as it is firm enough and looks beautiful. Protects our dashboard and leather interior. The rear windows shades are… Read more

amazing too, needed for kids as extra protection despite tinting. Very easy installation and no need to put those cheap covers over your rear windows that soaks in and brings all the moisture smell and rain inside.

So much better with kids.

Worth the money Spent.

Excellent decision to purchase from Snap Shades. I did my research prior & needed a perfect fit for my stinger gt windscreen. Needless to say it is better than I expected. It really does lower the temperature and covers so well without interfering with my dash cam. Love it & highly recommend. Also fast delivery!!!

1st item bubbled up within 2 weeks. Company was very easy to deal with for replacement. Product is a great fit. The shades are easily crushed if you are not careful and are are assembled using something similar to core flute and the similar product used with a usual windscreen shade, with a fabric backing and I won't predict how heat will affect… Read more

glues over time. I feel $149.00 plus delivery is a little excessive for this item. I will point out i paid a discounted price of $119.20.

I LOVE it!! For the past 1-2 years, I have been hearing a lot about Snap Shades, despite I kept buying the universal sun shades from Automotive shops. After my last shade torn and started shedding material, I finally brought a Snap Shade for my car. The day I picked it up from the post office, I couldn't help but take it out the box straight away… Read more

and tried it. I absolutely love it!! Its custom fit for my car is spot on and very sturdy the way it folds and unfolds! Beautiful! Ditch those weak universal sun shades, do yourself and your car a favour, buy a Snap Shade! It is expensive but its worth every dollar! I even told a coworker to buy one for his new ute. Highly recommend this product!

I have Multiple Sclerosis, so using the Snap Shades on my 2021 Nissan Juke, makes the world of difference to the temperature of my car and prevents me from burning myself on the leather seats in the hot Aussie summer. I went to the Silverwater NSW… Read more

warehouse so the Technician at Snap Shades was able to take accurate CAD measurements of all the windows in my car and I had a full-set of Snap Shades made, the process was very simple, I then went back a couple of months later, and the Technician put all of the clips in-place and installed all of the shades. They are easy to take off and store in the storage bag when you’re driving.

 Follow-up  · As my car was used as a prototype, custom measured, it took a couple of months for the Snap Shades to get produced. The visibility from the rear view mirror took a little getting used to, with the rear window shade still intact, but is pretty good. The front windscreen, drivers side and front passenger screens come with a storage bag to prevent them getting damaged.

Pricey but worth it. Didn’t have to shape to fit my vehicle as they fit first go which I was very happy about. Provides great level of shade/ darkness for my child’s car seat. Very happy with product. Show details

Fits perfectly for my wife's 2020 CRV, works great. Wish they made ones for my Volvo, sadly not available. If Canadian, be prepared to get slapped with some tarrifs, mine was about 30 dollars on top of the already not cheap price. Still worth the cost, but just be prepared!

Can’t see out of the sun shades so no head checking in the car which is a safety hazard plus the light still shines on baby. Emailed to request refund but decline as last 30 day warranty even though I contacted them previously and they gave suggestions of how to improve the shades (which didn’t work). Safer for us to drive without them and get windows tinted so a waste of money. Don’t recommend.

Awesome idea but unfortunately the item does not last and is quite flimsy. After using it for about one to two years it starts to bubble up and not hold its form. I would suggest that a stiffer cardboard is used to make it sturdy to make it an unbeatable product. Otherwise it is a very expensive product. Show details

Ordered front windshield snap shade for a Hyundai Tucson 2018 model. From first use it definitely DOES NOT snap into place, a bit disappointing considering the cost. Have to put both sun visors down to hold in place (just hoping in the long run the weight of the snap shade doesnt damage the cars sun visors). Also when not in use it's very bulky… Read more

and large. Other than that it does the job but just not happy with the false promise it "snaps" in place on its own when it doesnt.

Bought the front windscreen blind for my 2014 Mercedes A180. It did not fit correctly as it did not hold in place. Also there was a 75mm gap on either side of my interior mirror where the shade did not cover. This is not acceptable as this was an… Read more

expensive custom fit. What a scam. Will be requesting my money back, and will go with a reputable manufacturer. After 4 days of waiting for a return email from the manufacture they told me that the item does not snap lock in place, but rather the sun visors hold them in place. There was no mention of the large gap around the rear view mirror, just a notation that said this was designed to fit the vehicle. The saga continues. After further communication about the product, with the manufacturer, we were then sent the terms and conditions of sale, which were not available during the purchasing process. It seams that you can send a faulty item back to them, at your cost, and they can still refuse a refund once they receive the goods back. Not sure what consumer law this falls under. Further more, we were then told that the snap shade is designed to allow after market accessories such as dash cams and e-tags. As I don’t have either, and was not notified of this during the purchase process, nor was it noted on the website, I would not have purchased it. We sent the shade back for a full refund, and it was only after nearly 2 week's that my wife rang them to find out what was going on, that they then refunded us our money. This has not been a very nice experience and we will not be giving them our business again. Please see pics of the large gaps either side of the shade.

 Follow-up  · Installation was clear and easy. Quality was fantastic, unfortunately it did not fit. It was produced with the assumption that purchasers were also using toll sensor and dash cams on their windscreens.

Absolutely love our Snapshades! They’ve been perfect for keeping the sun out of my 10 month-old’s eyes in the back seat, especially on those really sunny days. They fit the windows perfectly, are so easy to put on and take off, and make such a difference when we’re driving. Wish I’d bought them sooner! ☀️ Show details

Snap Shades sell excellent quality products with very friendly and professional customer service. I have purchased the Front Windscreen Sun Shields and also the Windscreen Wipers from Snap Shades. Both products are excellent! Also, they have some rather funny and also informative videos, especially when they star the young and handsome Snap Shades Mascot Boy. Show details
