The sunshade is a great car interior accessory product, which is lightweight and super easy to use. The reflective surface can reduce sunlight through the car window, and block out harmful UV rays.

So, sun shades are also called sunscreens, sun covers, sun blinds, heads, or UV shields.

It’s a must-have for a motorist. If you have to park for days and weeks, we recommend a car cover. While just for several hours, a car sunshade does a great job to keep the car interior cool.

Before you park your tesla model 3 in front of your house, at the office building, at the airport, or at the beach, you put a double-sided bubble sunshade on the windshield. It helps prevent the temperature inside the car from rising fast and protects the dashboard, steering wheel, leather seat, and other car electronics.

Sunshade for Different Windows

Front Car Window / Windshield

There are 2 types of sunshades for the windshield. One is the foldable accordion sun shade, the material is bubble + aluminum film. In our manufacturer, we have a machine to make equal-width creases on the sunshade. So, the sunshade can be folded up to a compact size.

Another is the pup-up sunshade, the material is silver coated polyester + rounded wire. It’s an innovative way just to twist the sunshade slightly and it can be folded to half of the size.

For the side window sunshade, there’re 3 types.

1. Mesh sunshade

It’s made of mesh material + wireframe. It installs onto the side window with suction cups very easily.

This mesh sunshade helps filter bright sunlight while allowing you to see the outside through the mesh holes.

        2. Roller sunshade

One button of self-retracting design allows you easily to store. The best thing about roller shades is that you can adjust how much to pull down without taking out the whole shade.

It requires a suction cup to attach to the window of your BMW, Audi, or Lexus.

        3. Static Cling Sunshade

The Mom-loves-best Static cling sunshade is great for the rear window when your little kid sitting in a kid’s seat. It’s made of black-coated PVC and sticks directly to the car side window without any tool. No worry your curious kid trying to pull it off.

Rear Window Sunshade

For the large-size rear window, there’re two types of rear window sunshades.

One is a larger-width retractable roller sunshade. Since the rear window sunshade is large in size and heavyweight, it requires screws to install on the car, truck, or SUV.

Roll up the sunshade when you’re driving, and roll down when you stop.

Another kind of rear sunshade is attached with a suction cup to the rear window. It has to be mesh material to keep it lightweight.

Custom Sunshade

Besides the main function of preventing the heat from coming into the car, STE helps you custom your sunshade with a special design and colors. We can add any of your licensed images or design like the BMW logo, Rick and Morty, Star Wars, or Golden Girls.

CAR SUNSHADE

How Effective Are Car Sunshades?

The vehicle sunshades mostly work by two methods;

• Reflective mechanism
• Absorption mechanism

a) Reflective mechanism

These kinds of sunshades are usually made up of reflective materials such as aluminum foil, silver coating, e.t.c. These sunshades reflect all the incoming sun rays. These kinds of sunshades are usually non-transparent means you can not see through them. They are mostly used to cover the front windshield when the vehicle is parked.

b) Absorption mechanism

These kinds of sunshades are made up of absorption materials, such as mesh, PVC, e.t.c. These sunshades do not reflect sun rays while they work by absorbing most of the incoming rays. These are less effective than reflective sunshades. They come in both transparent and non-transparent versions. Absorptive sunshades are usually black in color.

Sunshades provide the following benefits;

• Provide privacy
• Save your bun from burning by overheated seats
• Block sun rays and keep the inner temperature cool
• Protect upholstery from fading and cracking by sun rays
• Maintain the vehicle interior and make your car look new
• Save a lot of fuel consumption due to air conditioners in summer
• Protect car dashboard and other interiors from damage by direct light

What Is The Thickness Level Of Our Bubble Sunshades?

• Standard

You can see the chart below to see the thickness in mm for each level and their use;

Are Car Sunshades Universal?

Yes and no. Automobile sunshades come in two sizes;

• Universal-fit
• Custom-fit

a) Universal-fit

Universal-fit sunshades are the most common. As the name suggests, universal-fit sunshades fit almost all vehicles. Unlike others, we have measured all brand’s cars’ windows sizes. We only manufacture our universal-fit sunshades in a size which can fit almost all kinds of cars excellently. So, when you buy from us, you will get no complaints or issues.

b) Custom-fit

These kinds of sunshades fit a particular vehicle or specific models of vehicles. They are more costly than universal-fit sunshades. They are needed to be prepared on demand. They fit a car window almost 100% perfectly.

How To Choose Car Sunshades?

There are 4 factors to consider when choosing vehicle sunshades;

• Size
• Style
• Color
• Material

a) Size

Although usually, sunshades come in universal sizes, so you do not need to worry about sizes. Although if you want a custom-fit sunshade, then you need to measure the specific window size for which you are buying the sunshade. Custom-fit sunshades are very rare and costly in comparison with universal-fit sunshades. There are four universal sizes;

• Small
• Medium
• Large
• Extra Large

b) Style

There are 4 styles available in the market;

• Wire kind
• Roller Kind
• Static cling-on kind
• Free-floating folding kind

Wire-based sunshades are most common for side windows, while roller kind sunshades are very easy to use. Free-floating folding sunshades are only used for front windshields during parking. Among all, static cling-on sunshades are most easy to install and move. Static cling-on sunshades are new and mostly used for side windows.

c) Color

Sunshades come mostly in black or silver color because black is an excellent absorbent for sunrays, while silver is excellent reflective for sun rays. Other colors are also available. Even you can also print a specific design or even your picture on the sunshade to match your vehicle’s interior or exterior.

d) Material

There are 4 kinds of materials from which you can choose;

• Mesh
• Foam material
• Bubble material
• Polyester and PVC

Mesh: It is very light, and you can see through it. It works by absorbing sun rays.

Foam material: It is simply a foam covered with polyester or PVC or reflective material. You can not see through it, and it gives a soft cushy feeling.

Bubble material: It is called a bubble sunshade because you can see small bubble-like shapes on its surface. It is a plastic material with an aluminum-based coating on it. The thickness of plastic can vary from 2 mm to 5 mm. This material is mostly used to make premium-quality reflective sunshades.

Polyester and PVC: Polyester is a cloth-like material, while PVC is a more plastic-like reflective material. Polyester works by absorbing sunrays, while PVC mostly works by reflecting them.

What Are The Various Kinds Of STE Car Sunshades And How To Install Them?

There are many kinds of automobile sunshades to fit front, back, and side windows. All of these come in many styles, materials, and colors. You can print your logo or any design on them. The size of sunshades is also customizable.

Based on the installation, there are usually 5 kinds of sunshades available;

• Wire sunshades
• Static sunshades
• Free-floating folding sunshades
• Retractable sunshades with a suction cup or adhesive tape
• Retractable sunshades with vehicle built-in attachment compatibility

a) Wire Sunshades

These are the most common in the market. They are mostly made up of mesh or reflective material. Wire-based sunshades have flexible but sturdy wire at the boundaries. All you need to do is push the sunshade in the place between the side window and the car interior. They can be washed and reused.

b) Static sunshades

These can adhere to the window due to their static properties without any suction cup or glue. Most static sunshades can be washed and reused. These come in two styles. The first kind of static sunshade is like paper. You need to peel off the back layer and install them carefully on the window.

In contrast, the second kind is more like wire sunshades, but there is no back layer to peel off. You just need to put them on the window, and they will stick. They can be moved as many times as you like and can be folded easily for storage. Always clean the window carefully before putting any kind of static sunshade.

c) Free-floating folding sunshades

These kinds of sunshades are used during car parking only for front windshields. Simply unstrap and unfold them. Place them on the inside of the windshield from bottom to top. Then open the sun visors all the way to the windshield to support the sunshade. And during the folding, reverse all the steps. They come in two kinds, bar folding sunshades and pop-up sunshades. Pop-up sun shades can be folded and stored in a small bag, which can easily fit in the glove box.

d) Retractable sunshades with a suction cup or adhesive tape

These kinds of sunshades come for all windows, for example, front windows, back windows, and side windows. You can install these with suction cups or adhesive tape that comes with them. Simply clean the surface with water or alcohol wipes. Pre-mark the area before installation. Then, peel off the protective layer for adhesive tape, while suction cups can be applied directly. At last, install it on the marked area.

e) Retractable sunshades with vehicle built-in attachment compatibility

These sunshades are made for back windows and are heavy due to their PVC, bubble, or other dense material.  These are needed to install within built-in vehicle locks or by screws if no built-in locks are present. First, place the sunshade pipe in the back area. Now, attach it either with built-in locks or screws. Then for the other side, attach two small brackets either by sliding them into the car roof or by screws if needed. You can see the video below for the installation procedure.
