Mounting reliability issues
adhesive-backed magnetic brackets for plastic-trim windows often fail to stay secure, causing shades to shift and allow sunlight gaps,
Update: November 3 - snapShades provided a prompt response and willingness to send replacement mounts. The shipment arrived quickly, which reflects well on customer support. That said, I am still experiencing the same adhesion issue.
I understand some vehicles may have slick factory surfaces that make mounting harder, but I have not received the promised instructions on how to prepare the surface or properly install the 3M VHB tape. I remain optimistic because the team was responsive and proactive with replacements, yet I cannot recommend the product confidently and stand by my initial review.

Hi Sam, I don't think we've been in touch yet, but our team is here to help.
From our experience, on rare occasions, particular vehicles have a very slick surface/oil from the factory which doesn’t help the mounts to stick. Unfortunately, these factors are out of our control.
We'd love to send you some extra mounts and further instructions on how to prepare the surface for the 3M VHB tape, which is designed to be super sticky for years of travel without damaging your trim. Please reach out to us at support@snapshades.us
Perfect fit
I purchased the shades for my 2025 honda crv. The fit was perfect and I received these in great condition. My windows are tinted and I use these to lower my windows during camping. They stay up and are great for keeping bugs out.

Hard to see kids in rear facing car seats
The Snapshades fit my Subaru perfectly. I got the two back windows and the side trunk windows to protect my 2 yr old and newborn from the sun in their eyes. The shades do a fantastic job at that. They don’t affect your visibility through the windows. My only complaint is that it’s hard to see my kids through the rearview mirror and then their mirror in their rear facing car seats because it’s dark in the backseat now.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, we're over the moon that you're 2 yo and newborn are protected.
Fun fact: the founder started Snap Shades because he had trouble finding the best sun shade for his first newborn!

Custom Fit to the vehicle make/model and fits into place with no effort. Easy to put into place and take out. It even hold in place when the window is brought down while driving. Though I haven’t brought the window down all the way while driving on the highway just on roads and street.
Great product and it’s holding up well.

Thank you BGD! As a rule of thumb, best to keep it half way open. Some models are better than other though, take care.

The shade is great but it doesn’t stay on the mounts and one of the mounts comes off even though cleaned and let dry as directed. But overall a great shade.

Generally 95% all covered. But I guess since every individual car has some slight difference, can't expect all-around tight cover

This is a very fair observation, especially around the rear-view mirror. We try to design the front windshield shade for the Accord, keeping a few things in mind: ease of installation, protection, and heat rejection. One thing that we also take into consideration is preventing damage to the corners. Too sharp and it will be unsightly over the life of the Front Windshield Snap Shade.
Thank you for giving us 4-stars WP! We really appreciate you supporting our business.

Sorry Tan, your order just came in today. We will be shipping your order shortly. We trust we've been committed to you this entire time, receiving your calls every time, keeping you updated. We hope you get these very shortly.
They don’t stay on…
They don’t stay on since magnets are too weak and they remain twisted after storing in the pouch which makes them stay attached less due to the weak magnets.

Sorry to hear that Jeremy, I believe we haven't gotten in touch. But we do guarantee fit. If there's a small size issue for the JK, the magnets won't be given a chance to stay strong. Please reach out to us at support@snapsahdes.us to see what we can do for you.

Great quality! I even bought another set for my husband's vehicle. Also super easy to use. 10/10 recommend without a doubt.

You're a true gem, thank you so much for the 10/10 rating!
Doesn’t sit flush. Must install sticky magnets in car.
1. The shades are not flush in the BMWX3 only one side touches the magnet. Also leaves a bit of a gap.
2. The directions online never said you would have to install sticky magnets. It was misleading. The installation videos were very vague.

The X3 is indeed a little tricky to install with the divider and the sloped surfaces. We should probably do a video installation for this model for future customers. Thank you for the feedback!
14,000 mile BASE jump roadtrip
I was driving across the USA with my climbing and parachute gear in my car. It was hot AF in there and the sketch could easily see all my equipment. The Snap Shades cooled the interior and made the window virtually opaque from the outside while the view from inside remains.

Not enough clips to get port window to stay in window.

Heya Bryce, please reach out to us, if you need more! We'll happily send you some more. There are 3 sides to the port window, so we provide 6, 3 for each side. If you received less, we're sorry in advance!
We hope you're enjoying the protection, quality and fit of the rear doors for your RAV4.

Fit my Acura RDX windows perfectly
These fit my 2021 Acura RDX windows perfectly. They work just as advertised. I just wish the adhesive was stronger. I never park directly in the sun (always in a temperature controlled garage) and the adhesive with the magnet part keeps falling off. I wiped with isopropyl alcohol before applying. I fear the small pieces could become a choking hazard for my little one.

Thank you for such a balanced review of compliments and criticism Emily.
From our experience, on rare occasions, particular vehicles have a very slick surface/oil from the factory which doesn’t help the mounts to stick. Unfortunately, these factors are out of our control.
If you just use isopropyl on it's own and using a towel to wipe, it's actually not quite enough. We've found it's best to use your finger to rub the location. You'll feel a difference in surface slickness.
We'd love to send you some extra mounts and further instructions on how to prepare the surface for the 3M VHB tape, which is designed to be super sticky for years of travel without damaging your trim. Please reach out to us at support@snapshades.us. Hope to hear form you soon!
