1 Star Lasted a year- July 2021 to July 2022. Poor quality, and it finally gave up completely. After a few months reduced to three stars due to quality issue. Full review below quality explanationThe metal wire framework punctured through the material. End caps of the metal umbrella framework are rubber and the ends punctured through the rubber and then through the umbrella. Last photo attached shows the metal wire and the rubber end cap.I was able to replace with plastic ends from an old umbrella and salvage it.Tldr; Not easy to put up or down as advertised and dashboard scratching risk. This closes up tightly into a small form as advertised.After a dozen times you get good at putting it up without risk of scratching the dash.Pictures taken with shade opened in front of the rear view mirror and then behind rear view mirror. 2nd picture hard to see rear view mirror because of the black pattern on top of my windshield. 2015 rav4If you put the top part of the shade behind your rear view mirror (close to driver) then it doesn't fit tight to the windshield. So there's an air pocket that could heat up and travel into the cabin anyway.If you stretch it in front of the rear view mirror (close to windshield) then it fits tight to the wind shield. It is not putting pressure on your rear view mirror mounting in either position.Next iteration should have extra material on the top center with an elastic border to fit around the rear view mirror better. (Top is where the velcro wrap cord is, seems to cover my window better that way)Not easy to open to the right spot above the dashboard and close to windshield in one movement like on TV.Open umbrella to where it starts to spread out 1/3 of the way open. Then move bottom closer into windshield area without scratching dashboard.Now open to 90% and tuck the material under the rear view mirror close to windshield. So rear view mirror should be behind the shade in the cabin.Pull down visors and complete opening. Even after the center clicks into place you sometimes have to click the outer metal frames flat as wellIt is a smaller form factor than a roll up sun shade when closedAlso, this is made from the same material on a regular umbrella so I'm curious how well it will keep the car cool vs the thicker roll up shade I currently have./After using a couple months it does as good a job as the roll up shades do keeping the heat out and steering wheel cool

bought as gift for son he likes it Had another one he used for years.

Slightly complicated to use and not as easy as I imagined. Overall it’s great and compact so easy for storing and does have good sun blockage. The handle does mess with the car screen so you have to be somewhat careful with that.

This is very handy in installing this and it keeps the temp. down inside my truck. It is easy to store when not in use and easy to open up when needed.

A+, 10 out of 10. Will buy again!

I bought two of these umbrella shades at the same time. After first seeing product during unboxing, I realized that the units have thin extended rods. I have since taken care to be VERY gentle with them when handling. When recently as I opened one to use in my car the pole of the umbrella just snapped in two right where the wires are connected. I tried to gorilla glue it back together to no avail. I continue to use the one I have left, with hopes the same thing doesn't happen. It is past the available return/replacement date, so all I have available is to post this review. I understand that "breaks happen", but not likely to rebuy again unless the other one lasts a while and doesn't break.

Good product
