Nothing is worse than stepping into your car on a sunny day only to be greeted by burning seats and a scorching steering wheel. A good set of car sun shades can change that, keeping your ride cooler and more comfortable. The best part? Installing them is easier than you might think.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you fit your car sun shades quickly and securely.
Step 1: Unbox and Inspect
Start by unpacking your sun shade and checking that all the necessary accessories are included. Hold the shade up against your window frame to make sure the size and shape are correct before you move on.
Step 2: Identify Your Window Frame Type
Not all cars are built the same, and neither are their window frames. Take a quick look at your vehicle to see if you have:
1. Metal window frames
2. Vinyl trim window frames
Your installation method will depend on which one you’ve got.
Step 3: For Metal Window Frames
Simply place the shade in the correct position, and it will snap into place automatically. The installation is then complete—it's that easy.
Step 4: For Vinyl Trim Window Frames
This method takes a few more minutes, but it’s still simple if you follow these steps:
l Position the Clips
Hold the shade up to the window to see where the magnetic clips should go. Don’t peel off the backing just yet—this is just a test fit.
l Prep the Surface
Clean the area on the window frame where you’ll stick the clips. A clean surface means stronger adhesion.
l Install the Magnetic Clips
Remove the adhesive backing and stick the clips onto the frame where you marked earlier. Depending on the shade’s size and shape, you’ll usually need 2–4 clips per window.
l Attach the Shade
Clip the sun shade onto the clips. Make sure to leave about a 5mm gap from the glass so it won’t interfere when you roll the window up or down. Give it a gentle shake to check it’s firmly in place.
l Repeat for the Rest
Once you’ve installed the first shade, the rest will be a breeze. Just follow the same process for the other windows.
Tips and Note:
l If the clips are incorrectly positioned, simply heat the tape with a hair dryer then it can be removed without leaving any traces of glue.
l If the middle piece doesn't feel like a perfect match when you put it on, don't worry, you're probably mixing up the left and right pieces, and replacing one piece will solve the problem.
