Where I live, it gets absolutely miserable in the summer. I have to travel a lot locally, so being able to protect my vehicle's interior from UV damage is nice but heat reduction is critical. My dashboard sunshield was not enough on its own and I needed something for the side windows. It's not a 100% fix but it definitely keeps the heat down a few degrees and I can even sit in my car for a little bit without turning on the a/c on "nicer" summer days (read: heat index under 110F) between these and the dash sunshield. They would have to be a little bigger to cover more territory on my Honda CRV's windows but they are still big enough to cover most of the glass.
The biggest thing I have to say is this: you *have* to smooth these things down against your window. You can't just tap them up and go. They cling well when smoothed on but the one time I didn't take the extra two seconds, that shade did fall down. Don't believe the reviews saying they don't cling. That's coming from people who didn't read and are not following the instructions. These are actually easier to put up than my dash sunshield, which takes at least a minute of fine tune adjustments.
For what these cost, they're very effective and sturdy. I like how dark they get my car. I like that the cling is a bit reflective so people can't see into my car as easily when it's parked. It's been worth every penny and these are not expensive at all!
