Snap Shades

[Salvo Jimmy]

Ordered thru Aussie site both the back door as well as cargo area ones.

Cheaper, even with tax and shipping, than US site and US did not have cargo area in stock.

Mine came yesterday and installed.

Very good fit both rear doors and cargo area. Rear door windows go up and down, No problems. Stay in place just fine.

Cargo area clips that hold in place did not need trimming as online generic install instructions said May be needed.

They did not come with install instructions so here is a link to them.

Plenty of pictures in this thread so I did not take any.

Very pleased with the product.

As a side question - do you think these could act as a bug screen? To let air in but not the mosquitoes?

I think the fit could be iffy for bugs as they are not too snug up against the window frame. I think Small ants could easily get in but winged insects, probably not, unless they are really tiny. JMHO.

Follow-up to this; going to edit my other post also.

I’ve had these for however long now, like 6 months or something. Yea they’re not perfect fit, but they’re a solid A. It’s like scoring a 96-99 on a test out of 100; it’s A or A+ territory, but it’s not quite 100. I agree they won’t let winged insects in but ants would get through fine if they climbed the car and found the small openings (see pictures in my post above for these “openings”)

These are fantastic. I just put them in this morning because it was sunny, it’s literally 10 seconds a door, and it reminded me how much I actually like them. If you need sun shades I don’t think you can do better. I’ll absolutely buy this brand for any other cars I own in the future as long as I have kids (and even after that. My parents use them on RV trips)

I also find them well wort the price for summer heat help

Another post to bump this, because I think long-term thoughts are important.

I'll be buying these again for whatever car replaces the 4Runner. Anyone with kids, these are well worth the premium cost over those ridiculous universal sun shades, window socks, etc. that are one-size-fits-all. These aren't perfect, but they're really, really good. Every time I put them in I appreciate that I chose to spend $100 on window shades.
