who wanted a sunshade they'd actually keep using.
What's in the box
- Umbrella-style windshield shade
- Carry sleeve
Collapsed, it's about the size of a folding umbrella.
How it stays up
The canopy sits flush against the windshield with its base resting on the dashboard, and you flip both sun visors down over the top edge of the canopy. Without the visors, gravity tips the canopy forward into the cabin. If your car has a large mirror housing or a dashcam, the visors won't close the gap completely, but they'll still hold it in place.
Sizes & fit
- Regular — 54.5″ × 30.5″
- XL — 59″ × 33.5″
- Reflective outer face
- Ribbed frame, no fold creases
Regular is for sedans and regular SUVs. XL is for large SUVs and trucks.
Shipping & returns
A single shade ships for a $2.99 flat rate. 2 or more ships free. Tracked either way, and most orders arrive in 5–9 days.

Everyday use
Designed for everyday parking
The whole point is to make blocking the windshield easy enough that you actually do it.
One-motion setup
Push it open from the driver's seat like an umbrella.
Held by your visors
The base rests on the dashboard and the visors hold the top edge.
Compact storage
Collapsed, it's about the size of a folding umbrella.
Two sizes
Regular for sedans and regular SUVs. XL for large SUVs and trucks.
How it works
Up in about five seconds
Open it, rest it against the windshield, then lower the visors over the top edge.
Step one
Push it open
Hold the shaft and push, the same way you'd open an umbrella. You can do it from the driver's seat.
Step two
Rest it on the dash
The canopy sits flush against the glass with its base on the dashboard. Flip both visors down over the top edge and it stays upright.
Step three
Collapse and stow
Close it, slide it into the sleeve, and drop it in the center console or glove box. No folding sequence to remember.
Why it matters
An hour in the sun is all it takes
Researchers parked cars on 100°F days and measured what the interior did after sixty minutes.
Without-ShadyCar figures are from a 2018 Arizona State University / University of California San Diego study, measured after one hour on a 100°F day. With-ShadyCar figures are from our own one-hour test. Individual results vary with vehicle, colour and parking angle.

Questions
Ask away
Below are the most common questions about how ShadyCar stays up, which size to choose, how small it folds, shipping, and returns.
How does it stay up?
The canopy sits flush against the windshield with its base resting on the dashboard, and you flip both sun visors down over the top edge of the canopy. Without the visors, gravity tips the canopy forward into the cabin. If your car has a large mirror housing or a dashcam, the visors won't close the gap completely, but they'll still hold it in place.
Which size should I get?
Regular (54.5″ × 30.5″) is for sedans and regular SUVs. XL (59″ × 33.5″) is for large SUVs and trucks. If you're between the two, measure your windshield at its widest point.
How small does it fold?
Down to about the size of a folding umbrella, into the sleeve it comes with. It fits a center console or a glove box, so it isn't taking up a seat.
Is it hard to put away?
No. It closes the way an umbrella closes — one motion, no folding order to get right, nothing springing back open on you.
How long does delivery take?
Most orders arrive in 5–9 days, tracked the whole way. You'll get a tracking link by email as soon as it ships.
How much is shipping?
A single shade is a $2.99 flat rate. 2 or more ships free, tracked either way.
What if it isn't for me?
Thirty days to send it back. Email support@shadycar.com and we'll sort it out.
