Size Reference
| Size | Windshield width | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 120–135 cm (47–53") | Compact cars, small sedans |
| Medium | 135–145 cm (53–57") | Mid-size sedans, small SUVs |
| Large | 145–155 cm (57–61") | Full-size SUVs, trucks, vans |
How to measure: 1) Run a tape measure across the inside of your windshield, between the pillars, at the widest point. 2) Match it to the size chart. 3) Between sizes? Size down — a slight gap at the edges beats fighting an oversized frame. Canopy open dimensions per size: S 130 × 65 cm · M 140 × 74 cm · L 150 × 82 cm.

You Know That First Minute Back in the Car
The steering wheel you can barely hold. The seatbelt buckle you learn to grab through your sleeve. The wait while the A/C fights a cabin that sat in direct sun all day.
If your car lives outside — at work, at school pickup, outside your apartment — this isn't a once-a-summer problem. It's a tax you pay every single stop.
And the shade in your trunk isn't helping
You've probably owned a sunshade before. The floppy accordion kind that never stays up, or the spring hoop that fights back when you fold it. It worked — you just stopped using it.
Your old shade didn't fail because it wasn't reflective enough. It failed because it was annoying enough to leave unused.
Open. Place. Visor-lock. Leave.
The Shadeward™ Car Umbrella works like the one folding object you already know how to use: an umbrella.
Open
Pop it open inside the car in one motion — same as any umbrella.
Place & Visor-lock
Set the canopy against the windshield — there's no long handle to fight your dash or screen. Then flip both sun visors down over the top edge. It stays put.
Leave
Coming back? Pull the ring, collapse, sleeve, door pocket.

EXCLUSIVE FIT SYSTEM
Every other sunshade makes you measure your windshield and hope. Shadeward matches the size automatically: enter your car's make, model, and year, and our fitment database — built from manufacturer body data for 1,200+ vehicle models — picks the right size for you.

Size selected. Add to cart. Done.
Straight talk: an umbrella-style shade covers the broad center of your windshield — the area that takes the most direct sun. Small corner gaps are normal depending on your glass shape. Car not in our database yet? The picker gives you a 30-second manual path — or email us and we'll size it for you.
Built for the Routine, Not Just the First Try
The automatic fit picker
Windshields range from 120 to 155 cm across — that's why "universal" shades disappoint. Enter your make, model, and year, and our fitment database matches your exact windshield to the right size. No tape measure, no guessing, no returns roulette.
The handle-free design
Umbrella shades fail inside cars for one reason: the long rigid handle. On some vehicles it won't fit between the windshield and dash at all; on the rest it grinds against the screen. Shadeward deletes it — a soft pull ring folds the canopy instead, so it installs on dashboards handle-style umbrellas can't.
The canopy
Four working layers: a waterproof outer shell, a heat-reflective layer, an insulating middle, and a tight-woven Oxford backing facing your cabin. It helps keep direct sun off the surfaces you touch first — wheel, seats, dash.
Comes with a waterproof fabric storage bag — stores clean, doesn't rattle, stays flexible in winter.
We Removed the Handle
A normal umbrella shade ends in a long, rigid handle — and inside a car, the handle is the problem. On some dashboards it doesn't even fit. On the rest, it presses against the dash or the center screen and scratches what it touches. So we removed it. Shadeward folds by a soft pull ring instead: grab the ring, pull, done. Nothing sticking out to collide with your dash — nothing hard to gouge your screen.

Before You Ask
Will it fit my car?
+
That's what the automatic fit picker is for — enter your make, model, and year, and we match the size from our fitment database of 1,200+ vehicle models. Car not listed? Email us or use the 30-second manual guide inside the picker. And if it's still wrong, returns are easy.
What about my SUV or truck?
+
Large is built for full-size windshields. Measure first — some oversized glass (and some unusually raked windshields) may still show edge gaps, and we'd rather tell you that now.
Does it work around the rear-view mirror?
+
Yes — the canopy sits around the mirror mount without changing your mirror's angle, and the visors lock the top edge on either side of it.
Will it touch my dashboard or screen?
+
There's no handle to touch it. Shadeward folds by a soft pull ring instead of a long rigid handle — so nothing hard points at your dash or center screen, and it fits cars where handle-style umbrella shades physically can't.
I have a dashcam / toll tag.
+
The canopy covers the glass area where most dashcams and toll tags mount. If yours must stay exposed while parked, check its position against the canopy footprint before ordering — or ask us with your setup.
Is it actually faster than my old folding shade?
+
It's one open motion and a visor flip, versus unfolding and re-folding a panel the size of your windshield. We'd rather show than claim — watch the demo above.
How small does it fold?
+
Into its sleeve, about 30 cm — door pocket, seat-back pocket, or glovebox territory.
Can I drive with it up?
+
No. The car umbrella is for parked cars only. Deploy after you park, stow before you drive.
What if I don't like it?
+
15-day returns, no restocking games. If the size is wrong or it's not for you, send it back.
