Find The Perfect Shades For Your Vehicle

As the summer sun beats down, drivers look for any means they can to protect their cars from the heat. When there doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city, you can still keep your car cool with the right sunshade in the windows. Consider these convenient shade options.

Standard Shades

The most basic form of sunshade is the tried-and-true folding shade that fits directly underneath your windshield. While the accordion-style folding foil shades are still readily available, there are several new versions that make storage easier. Versions like the Luxurious 210T Fabric Sun Shade can be folded down into a disc and stowed away in a handy travel pouch, saving precious space inside your car. The EzyShade features two rectangular segments that can slide out or overlap depending on the size of the windshield, making it particularly handy if you need to take it with you in several different vehicles.

Side Window Shades

Although blocking the sun in your car’s biggest window, the windshield is essential to keep it as cool as possible, it also pays to limit the hot sunlight beaming through to your passengers as well. Whether you’re parked or driving, a lot of heat can enter through the side windows, and you can protect your passengers with sunshades specifically built for these windows. Made from dark nylon or other flexible materials, these shades block the heat while maintaining visibility, and some models adhere to your window with static, no need for suction cups. The ShadeSox Universal Fit even fits over the entire top of your car door, allowing your passenger to roll down the window while maintaining their shade.

Under the Umbrella

Parking in the shade is a great way to keep the heat from building up quickly during the day. However, a shady parking spot isn’t always an option, and you might often find yourself pulling up to a parking lot without a tree or shadow in sight. The Yeege canopy can be attached to the wheel wells to provide shade directly over your vehicle, blocking the sun over the windows as well as the roof of the car.
