![]() ![]() The girls don’t seem to mind them either. It’s quite a bit darker and noticeably cooler. The first time we put them on, I couldn’t believe how much different the interior of the car felt. From the outside, they are barely noticable. A little moisture on the cups would ensure they stay put. They are not likely to fall off even if one or two of the suction cups do come unstuck. The shade for rear tailgate window has 10 suction cups in total. ![]() Each shade has multiple suction cups to secure them to the windows. They are a great deal thicker than I thought they would be which indicates there is a fair amount on insulation between the silver outer cover and the inner lining. At around $300 for the touring set, they are not cheap but you can definitely see where the value is in them. They are a far cry from the cheap shades we’d bought from various auto shops in the past. The first thing you’ll notice about the shades is they are extremely well made and look to be a quality product. Note how even if one or two of the suction cups becomes unstuck, there are plenty more to keep the screen in place. A quick check on the net resulted in us visiting their factory in Carina on our last holiday and we walked out with a full touring set for the Cruiser. We’d seen a few cars driving around with these silver shades and wondered where they came from and soon discovered they were from a company in Brisbane called Solarscreen. We tried using towels wedged into the windows but they didn’t work terribly well either. We tried the various mesh shades but these really didn’t have a great effect. As well as making the girls more comfortable, reducing the heat inside allows the fridge and air conditioner to run more efficiently. Like most everyone else, we have tried all sorts of products to block out the sun in the back of the car. The colour also matches our seat covers….bonus.! ![]() note how perfectly fitted they are to the window ensuring total blockout of the sun. The Solarscreen fitted to the rearmost window. To assist with this, we bought and fitted a set of Solarscreen window shades and these have turned out to be an extremely good investment. This is especially true for us when we’re travelling with the fur babies in the back and trying to keep them cool on longer trips. When travelling anywhere in Australia, but particularly in the outback in the warmer months, keeping the car cool is extremely important. ![]()
