You'll easily be able to keep these products in your car for whenever a sunny day strikes. Almost all shades are designed to fold up into a more compact shape for storage, and some even have an umbrella mechanism that allows them to collapse or expand with just a few clicks. A two-piece set will give you more flexibility with fully covering your windshield, but the fit won't be as snug as a single shade. A light aluminum frame is usually what holds the product in place, so a snug fit is ideal.Ĭar sun shades can come in one large piece or a two-piece set. You’ll want something to give complete coverage of the windshield without falling down or being too cramped, so make sure you measure your windshield to ensure you're purchasing the correct size. One of the most important factors when searching for a shade is going to be the size and shape. Double-win.Most car shades are comprised of one dark fabric side that faces the inside of the vehicle, and a shiny reflective side which faces out.
#WINDSHIELD REFLECTOR HEAT SHIELD WINDOWS#
We now put our long-term shades on the outside of the windows and keep UV from the windows and sun out of the boat. They leave a nasty residue on the windows in the sun.ĪNOTHER UPDATE: See comments to the effect that putting anything reflective inside windows for a long time can be bad as it will actually increase the heat hitting the window and can cause windows to warp. Instead, I used Command Strips for posters. I didn’t want to use masking tape as I worried that it’d be hard to get off after six months.
I took the piece down and just cut along my lines and got quite a good fit. I simply taped a piece roughly in place, then used a felt pen to draw the shape of the window. Reflectix is easy to cut and shape as necessary - it’s bubble wrap with foil on both sides. I’ve written before about using Reflectix to add insulation to your refrigerator or cooler - see that article here. We bought rolls of Reflectix, which are basically the material that the auto windshield shades are made from and cheaper than the shades (it can be hard to find outside the US, hence using windshield shades). When we bought Barefoot Gal and immediately prepped her for summer storage in the blazing Florida sun, we did a slight variation on LaDonna’s idea. (Another option for hatches is Outland Hatch Covers ( see my review), which can permanently be left in place.) Should there be an extended rainy period when they want the hatches closed but also want the light, it only takes a second to remove them. They also have pieces on the inside of the hatches in the cabins - these are usually open when at anchor and only closed underway or if it’s raining, so it doesn’t interfere with light in the cabin but significantly cuts the heat build-up when they’re underway. If they’re leaving the boat for any amount of time - say snorkeling, walking the beach or a shore excursion - they put all the window covers in so that even if the boat swings at anchor, the inside will be shaded. She labelled each one for where it goes - it literally takes her about a minute to put them up! She uses just a bit of masking tape on each one - since they’re only up for a few hours, it comes off easily. She simply puts the ones in that are needed on a given day. LaDonna got some auto windshield reflectors and cut them to size to make boat window covers.
