I used to have a 2010 Honda Pilot which was a good family road trip car for my family of 4 and 1 then 2 dogs. But a couple of years ago the Pilot was totaled while parked in front of my house. Because our family is aging out of family road trips, we didn't replace the Pilot and have usually rented an SUV. Recently we were going from SF Bay Area to Santa Barbara and I told the family we would take my '85 FJ60. I thought it did quite well on the trip, but I did get some complaints that sitting in the passenger seat while on the sunny side of vehicle was pretty much unbearable. Enter SnapShades.
I just got these so I don't have my family reviews yet, but I didn't find them on Mud with a search, so I thought I should post up. They offer rear passenger windows and cargo area "port" windows (their term), and a windshield sun screen (not purchased). There is no lift gate window screen offered
. These are fitted to the size of the window and have spring metal wire running around the perimeter, so they hold their shape.
The rear passenger windows have a metal frame, and the SnapShades have magnets around the perimeter, so the "snap" right into place from the inside. Apparently you can roll the window down and go a low speeds without blowing them off. These fit nicely and look pretty good.
The cargo area port windows don't have metal to snap onto, so they provide little clips that slip between the window and the window gasket to hold them on. this tends to bunch up the fabric a little bit (you can see the clips not being used in the picture below). The shades seem to stay inside the window frame without the clips, so I'll try without. If the won't stay up, I'll try to find or design something that will hol them from the outer circumference of the window gasket, instead of from the inner circumference.
