Windows Shades for kids

Redgirl82

So junior 2 has arrived and I am looking at options for windows shades. On Junior 1 I got the clippasafe roller blind from Amazon. These where a disaster and kept falling off.

Also got a couple of those free glensik ones but again useless.

I got the windows on one of the cars tinted but can't do the other as company car. Asked the company and they won't do it unless I restart new contract(new car) which I don't want to do.

Just looking for what are best options available out there? Car is Qashqai

Thanks

I got window socks, Google them as I'm on a phone, which are designed for different cars. Halfords has a version which is more generic so doesn't fit as neatly, but only €10 when I got them.

Thanks, are they ok with the not so sunny Irish weather? I would be concerned they would become soaked with water and just become a nuisance....

if you actually use the clip over the top of the window rather than the suction pads they will stay on.

Used them to start with, done something to the window and the up/down wouldn't work. Had to get it replaced in garage. So that was end of that....it might not have been them but around the same time as I installed it went so I am putting it down to that, window without the shade had no issue.......

Also found they don't cover all the window...

Misses got some freebie pack from Littlewood that had one in it, and to be fair while it looked bog standard and flimpsy, it is doing exactly what it should be, and hasnt fallen of once. Seen a fair few around Dublin so it must have been some promo they were running

They aren't supposed to be left on full time

Spend a relative fortune and get a tailored set.

Still can open the windows 1/3 down and no gaps round the edges. Don't fall out.

This set is for a Honda Jazz:

Exactly the same as the genuine Honda accessory ones but about 40% less.

I got fed up with the nippers pulling the rubber suckers off the universal ones. So far they've left these alone.

Anyone use the "Car Interior Static Cling Sunshade Visor Side Window"?

Thanks I seen this but a bit too much, if it was my own car I would tint or buy these. They look a great job.

These look a better option than the Halford ones, a lot less material outside the car. They have option on Amazon to buy a set that are brand new but just returned from customer for £15 plus parcel motel so happy days.....

I had these on my old car, they did the job even though I found it impossible to get all the air bubbles out
