[PT2021] How to Install Windshield Sun Shades

[IOS 12]

In order to install the sun shades, you need to understand how they attach
to the windshield. There are several ways to install these window
treatments. You can use universal-fit, side-by-side mount, or metalized
mounting brackets. The best way is to follow the instructions provided by
the manufacturer.
Side-by-side mount

One of the easiest ways to protect your car's interior is by installing a
windshield sun shade. This convenient accessory is available in various
styles and sizes. They are usually affordable and are made to last. Aside
from helping you stay cooler, these shades will protect your car from the
harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.

First, you need to clean the windshield and remove any debris from it.
Next, you should remove the backing paper of the window shade and position
it halfway up the windshield. Make sure to place the handle of the shade
where you can easily pull it across the windshield when you are driving. If
you do not want to buy a bracket, you can mark the exact location where you
want to place the shade with the help of masking tape. Alternatively, you
can use a wax crayon or erasable marker.
Metalized

If you want to block the sun while driving, you should consider getting a
metalized sun shade for windshields. These windshield shades are made of
metal and are easy to install and remove. Most of these products have
suction cups to hold them in place. There are several types of metalized
sun shades available.

Some of these sun shades are made of reflective metalized polyester film,
while others are made of high-density foam or simply look like a visor
wrapped in aluminum foil. The ease of assembly is one of the most important
factors in deciding which one to get. Some are portable and roll up like a
yoga mat. Others can be held onto your windshield with suction cups.
Universal-fit

Universal-fit windshield sun shades are an excellent option for protecting
your car's interior from the sun's harmful rays. Made of high-density
nylon, these shades block 99 percent of the sun's rays and offer effective
UV protection. The shades are available in several sizes and are guaranteed
to fit your windshield perfectly. These sun shades also protect your car's
side windows and rear windshield. They are easy to install and are
manufactured in the U.S.

A sun shade is designed to prevent heat from entering your car's interior
on hot days, which can cause the dashboard's dash pad to become damaged and
even deteriorate. Moreover, UV rays dry out auto interior materials, which
releases harmful VOCs. VOCs are responsible for giving new cars their
signature smell.
Sewing binding on sides

To create pockets for magnets, pin the binding along the side of your
window shade. Place a magnet about every four to five inches. Then, sew a
small stitch along each side of the magnet, creating a tiny pocket. Once
you have the pockets in place, sew the binding closed around the entire
window shade. If you choose to use velcro instead of magnets, sew the
Velcro on the outside of the binding.

You can sew binding on the sides of windshield sun shades using a number of
different stitching styles. Many fabricators prefer the straight stitch,
where the top thread interlocks with the bottom thread at regular
intervals. Others use a zigzag stitch, which is a back-and-forth stitching
pattern.
Protecting your car's interior

The main benefit of using a windshield sun shade is that it can protect the
interior of your car from the sun's harmful rays. These shades come with
reflective faces and double layers of bubble material on the back to keep
the interior cool. They are universally fit and have suction cups that keep
them firmly in place on your windshield.

While car shades can seem like a hassle, they can make a big difference in
protecting your car's interior. The most obvious benefit is that they
reduce the temperature inside the car, which lowers the temperature of the
paint and can reduce the wear on your vehicle. Additionally, a shade can
help keep you cooler and help prevent your dashboard from drying out.
