1 Star Lasted a year- July 2021 to July 2022. Poor quality, and it finally gave up completely. After a few months reduced to three stars due to quality issue. Full review below quality explanation The metal wire framework punctured through the material. End caps of the metal umbrella framework are rubber and the ends punctured through the rubber and then through the umbrella. Last photo attached shows the metal wire and the rubber end cap. I was able to replace with plastic ends from an old umbrella and salvage it. Tldr; Not easy to put up or down as advertised and dashboard scratching risk. This closes up tightly into a small form as advertised. After a dozen times you get good at putting it up without risk of scratching the dash. Pictures taken with shade opened in front of the rear view mirror and then behind rear view mirror. 2nd picture hard to see rear view mirror because of the black pattern on top of my windshield. 2015 rav4 If you put the top part of the shade behind your rear view mirror (close to driver) then it doesn't fit tight to the windshield. So there's an air pocket that could heat up and travel into the cabin anyway. If you stretch it in front of the rear view mirror (close to windshield) then it fits tight to the wind shield. It is not putting pressure on your rear view mirror mounting in either position. Next iteration should have extra material on the top center with an elastic border to fit around the rear view mirror better. (Top is where the velcro wrap cord is, seems to cover my window better that way) Not easy to open to the right spot above the dashboard and close to windshield in one movement like on TV. Open umbrella to where it starts to spread out 1/3 of the way open. Then move bottom closer into windshield area without scratching dashboard. Now open to 90% and tuck the material under the rear view mirror close to windshield. So rear view mirror should be behind the shade in the cabin. Pull down visors and complete opening. Even after the center clicks into place you sometimes have to click the outer metal frames flat as well It is a smaller form factor than a roll up sun shade when closed Also, this is made from the same material on a regular umbrella so I'm curious how well it will keep the car cool vs the thicker roll up shade I currently have. /After using a couple months it does as good a job as the roll up shades do keeping the heat out and steering wheel cool

This windshield's great to keep the Sun out very compact easy to store

Reading the comments one would think folks expect a device like this to be made of gold and form-fitted for each and every vehicle ever made. If that is your expectation, I agree with those folks, look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a window shade that opens like an umbrella (think no more of those wire rimmed devices you can never get back to their original shape so they fill your entire back seat between uses), this device is worth a look. My 2001 Toyota Avalon windshield is a bit too big for this device to fully cover and my rearview mirror is a hassle as there is no cutout in the shield for a mirror, but it still covers more than 98% of my windshield and it is easy enough to slide it under the mirror when putting it up. What I LOVE the most is it opens and closes with ease and fits in the glove box when not in use. Major CON: no doubt this thing will not last long. The inside mechanisms are all made of flimsy plastic and after 2 uses it is clear they won't last long. I do hope being careful with the device I can prolong its life, but time will tell, for now I will just be easy with it and hope for the best.

The idea of it being an umbrella for ease of putting up, removal and storage is fine. Two issues would be it’s not one size fits all. Fits better in my wife’s van which has a taller windshield than my truck which has a shorter one. Also, the shaft can push against the center screen or buttons depending on the angle of the windshield, which can scratch or damage something if you’re not careful. Covers about 96% with a couple inches on each side of exposed glass. I wish the material was a bit thicker, but it does reflect enough to reduce the cabin temp. Only issue is it’s not well made so after a few months of opening and closing, some of the metal parts are starting to break off. Not sure I would buy this particular one again, but the idea is great

I love this product

Broke pretty quick w/Prius (lasted 2 weeks).. The plastic stem game away near the top so its un fixable. Its plastic but shoukd probably be metal. Its a nice idea but you need something that wont break. The accordion ones are fine. Why are we reinventing the wheel here? Accordion folds up great and does the job. 2 other things. Its a finger pincher, like an umbrella but more so. In addition, the umbrella handle has a tendancy to hit your console, which can change some setting for example, or if you have a phone mount or car Alexa mounted it can interact with that system of chargers. ALso it is really hard to get back in its case, and not easy to to retract. For retracting it need to be "double folded" like a W fold. Which is nonsense. I gave them 2 stars because I like innovation but really deserves 1 star, because in addition to money it was a waste time. And now I have to wait for something new to arrive from amazon while my car bakes in the sun. I dont have a lot of good things to say about it except, before it broke it did keep my car nice and cool!

We use this for our truck it is a great size for that. We have a Ram 1500 it fits almost perfectly for it's windows. We also like that it's easy to expand and contract so it's easy to put away. Definitely helps keep the vehicle a few degrees cooler. Every little bit helps in Arizona Summers!
