Review on Universal Automotive Protection Flexibility Retractable by Albert Dorsett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far, so good! - Sun protection

I wanted a product that would protect my son's (black) car seat from the sun. He often said "too hot" when taking his seat and I wanted to fix that. Of course, throwing a blanket over the car seat would probably work, but remembering that every time we got in the car seemed like too much work. And frankly, I'm forgetful. Anyway, I've tried vinyl (sticky) tinting sticks and really liked them. However, the main problem with them is that they only cover part of the window compared to them. Although my son is old enough to just snatch them from the window. So I needed something different. When I first read about this shadow style, I thought it was absurd. Now I literally call them "socks". It's literally like your window is wearing a sock. So far I love her. They fit my car pretty well. (Toyota Camry 2015). They are a bit big in height. But the length is perfect. They were also very easy to "install". I love that you can still turn the windows while your socks are on. The husband asked if they would be blown away if the window was open. No, because they go over the door frame. Thus, when the door is closed, the door frame holds the "toe" in place. They also come with Velcro to secure the bottom straps in place. I had to test them during a downpour. Stupid I know The windows could be opened without problems. Unfortunately, when I tried to roll it up, the "sock" stuck to the window, causing the "sock" to rise when the window was rolled up. But it's not really a problem. More trouble as I had to open the window and manually fix the 'sock'. They do an excellent job of keeping the sun off the car. And they don't create a large "blind spot" where you can't see anything while driving. You can still see everything outside of the car by viewing them. They are very similar to tinted windows except they are not permanently attached to your vehicle. I am very happy with this purchase!
