'Helps reduce the heat': These No. 1 bestselling car window shades are just $15
Beat the heat wave with these easy-to-install doodads — loved by nearly 20,000 five-star fans.
This summer is brutal. The heat isn't fun to deal with by any means, but it's worse when you get into a car that's been sitting out in the blazing sun. It's like stepping into an oven, and can even be worse on long drives with the sun beating through the windshield. Thankfully, there's a solution: the Kinder Fluff Car Window Shade. This shade comes in a pack of four and can easily protect you and your passengers (even the little ones) from the too-hot sun.
This pack includes two transparent and two semi-transparent window shades.
According to Kinder Fluff, this shade blocks out 99.79% of UVA rays, 99.95% of UVB rays, and has an SPF100 rating. Not only is that impressive, it means these shades can keep things much cooler inside your vehicle even on the hottest days. It can also keep it dark enough that people on the outside can't see in.
The shades are 20 inches by 12 inches, designed to fit almost any car window. You can even take one with you on public transport if need be. Installation is unbelievably easy: the shades cling to the window thanks to a static effect, so all you have to do is gently press it against the glass to secure it. If it doesn't stick, just wipe the window clean with plain water. No suction cups necessary!
What reviewers say 💬
Nearly 20,000 shoppers give it a five-star rating.
"Purchased this for my Suburban," revealed one reviewer. "Poor kids were baking in the back. I got this in preparation for a cross-country move in the beginning of summer. It did its job and exceeded all expectations. It really does keep the truck cooler and the sun out. However, they cautioned: "It is pretty dark, so you have to look around it or remove it to see out the window...so you have to actively turn more during lane changes and spot checks instead of relying on your peripherals. It was worth it though."
One driver even considers them part of their skin-care regimen: "This is one of the BEST purchases I've made on Amazon! I spend a lot of money on skin care and laser treatments on my face, and try my best to stay out of the sun. The tint on my car windows isn't strong enough, and this shade has been wonderful!"
"Effective, practical and convenient," shared this enthusiastic shopper. "The shades stick to the window very well, no need for suction cups. Practical and easy to use/remove. Works very well, keeps the car cool, great for long distances."
"I love these shades," wrote one rave reviewer. "I eat lunch in my car, in my work parking lot. I have my windshield sunshade and I put one of these shades on the driver's side window and another on the passenger side. Car is noticeably cooler. Darker inside too for a relaxing lunch with no passerby looking at me."
"I wish these were just a bit larger since they don't completely cover my side windows," wrote a doting grandparent. "They keep my grandbaby cooler in the back seat but she can still see out the window. When it's really hot, I use the darker shade and it helps keep her comfortable. Car air conditioner is more effective if the sun is not beating directly on you and these shades help a lot."
Installation is quick and easy: just press gently against the car window and protect yourself from unwanted tans.
