Review on Yu Motor Foldable Sunshade Countryman by John Banks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best sun shades for your MINI Cooper

Product information: Supplied in a plastic bag with two sun shades, each folded in a separate bag. One side is silver and reflective and the other side is black with mini logo. Fits perfectly. Used on Mini Cooper SUpdate 2009. ***The logo is no longer printed. Found out it's a limited edition*** I'm an official member of the Mini Cooper Club. I bought a 2009 Mini Cooper S a few months ago over the winter. I like the double sunroof as it lets in a lot of light. In the cold months, the heat in the car is not a problem. However, he lives in Miami, Florida. the heat can be a little unbearable. I like some sun but not as much as in my mini. If you're reading this, you'll know that the grille that blocks the light in the Mini Cooper's sunroof is pretty much useless. It does not reduce the temperature in the car in any way, the sun still shines into your car, a little less of course, but it still penetrates. I personally can't stand it - I hate it. It's hot as hell, why can't BMW design it to block the sun completely? In any case, I carefully searched for a sun visor on the roof before buying it. There is another seller on Revain that sells models with suction cups, which I think are a little aesthetically unpleasing and cost more. I wanted something that would look cool while also blocking out the sun completely - these shades are exactly what you need. They fit perfectly in the gap between the sunshade mesh in your Mini and the roof - just perfect - like a glove. You can't open a windward hatch (or any other hatch) without it without making a rattling noise like cloth in the wind. However, I don't care. I didn't want them so I could open the sunroof and have shade, I bought them purely for sun protection when the sunroof was closed. I keep it closed all the time, and probably will, unless it's chilly or wintry nights, in which case I pull the curtains down. With that they are amazing. I highly recommend them. This is actually my second set because I have two MINIs. Get them, they are the solution to your inside overheating needs. your mini I am definitely happy with my purchase and would buy again if the ones I have ever wear out.
