I've owned many sunshades over the years and this one is not bad.Three stars is probably a little harsh, but I have my reasons.First the good news.While the Heatshield appears to be made of similar materials as are used in the $10 shades you can buy at the local store, it is a custom fit, and it certainly does a good job of keeping sunlight and heat out of my truck.
The bad news is that it's such a tight fit that putting it up and down can be a bit tricky and time consuming.I mean this thing is really wedged in there.For me it's great because this is being used in a weekend truck, and I don't have to take it down often.But for most people, I think the hassle of fitting it into position is going to ensure that the Heatshield lives mostly in the trunk.Additionally, its large size makes rolling it up tight enough to store a bit harder than it should be.
I would have given it 4 stars if it weren't for the price.I actually like the product a lot.It works for me and I plan to have it for many years.I just can't figure why it has to cost so much.And don't get me wrong I have spent over 50 dollars for premium shades before, but in those cases you could see the value in the materials used.The Heatshield would be a great value at $20.
