We live in Las Vegas...where summer temperatures flirt with 120 degrees!
Our car spends a lot of time parked in the sun.
This is the only windshield shade that really works for one person to set in or take down.
While they need to be replaced after a season, they are dependable and all my friends now use them after riding with me.
And I just orderede three to use as gifts!

Lasts less than a season
While the item does a good job of keeping my vehicle cooler, I’ve now had 3 pop where the stick meets the top. Each lasted less than a summer season.
From: MARGARET | Date: 9/1/2024 1:44 PM
You take your chances.
I bought two of these and couldn't use either one.  For the Chevy HHR, it is too tall to fit behind the visors, so impossible to keep up on the window. On my other car, the height is good, but it is too narrow to cover the whole window.

Great Great Buy!
I bought three of these one for each of my vehicles and we really like them a lot. I definitely would recommend these to anybody who’s looking for something other than one of those hard to maneuver window shades

The shade car umbrella seems to do the job
I've only usd it a couple of times, but it keeps the car cooler and is relatively easy to use.
From: HEATHER | Date: 8/6/2024 1:54 PM
Very poor quality
It works, if you repair it from the start. It came apart before I could even use it. I would not buy again.

Pop up Umbrella Sunshield review
Most importantly my spouse likes it but we both have doubts how long it will last.Time will tell!
From: MICHAEL | Date: 8/26/2023 11:00 PM
Very practical, not Rey durable
My husband and I really liked the ease of using this umbrella style shade. Easy up and easy down. However, after six months of using it in the California sun, the spokes started popping out. This of course, made the shade less effective. It is really too bad, because it really did keep the car lots cooler. If it had been sturdier, we would still be using it. Back to the old style shade .
From: BONNIE | Date: 7/13/2023 11:00 PM
Keeps car much cooler
I was very surprised at how much cooler this has kept my car. I also love how easy it is to put up and take down. Really is the best shade I have ever used.
From: MARK | Date: 7/10/2023 11:00 PM
Easy install and removal
Sun Shade umbrella works well and is easy to install and remove. The only concern is the angle of some windshields and mirror placement will limit usability. I purchased two and it did not work in my wifes trailblazer
From: KEVIN | Date: 7/9/2023 11:00 PM
Works to reduce temperature as well as protect fading
Works great
From: JOHN | Date: 7/7/2023 11:00 PM
SOOO EASY TO USE!
This Windshield Umbrella Buddy is SO easy to use, just open it on your dash board and pull down the visors and thats it! AND it works!! It has really made a difference in reducing the hot/heat in my car. A+
From: Jane | Date: 7/2/2023 11:00 PM
Nice product
I am unable to give a good rating on this as it doesnt fit in my car. I am unable to get it up to the windshield to protect and provide coolness to the inside of my vehicle. I feel it is a good product, if it fits in the vehicle.
From: SUZANNA | Date: 6/8/2023 11:00 PM
Car windshield umbrella
I really love this.so easy to use. I hated those according ones. You had to get it under the rear view mirror just right, hold t while you put the visors down. Then hated t when it moved, had to readjust. I would recommend this product
From: JEAN | Date: 6/5/2023 11:00 PM
Best shade
This little umbrella is the best shade I ever had. It covers nearly all of the windshield, yet takes no space when not in use. It can also double as a rain umbrella. It s a fantastic product.
From: MARK | Date: 3/2/2023 10:00 PM
Poor construction
I bought 2 of these last spring. One was defective when it arrived one spoke out of its pocket and could not be coaxed into it. I used it anyway. Neither one lasted the summer! Cheap construction! Great concept just wish it were made to be more durable!
From: NANCY | Date: 12/2/2022 10:00 PM
Bought 2 of them-1 lasted over a year, the second 6 weeks
Bought 2 of these umbrellas. Worked very well. My first one lasted over a year. The second one lasted 6 weeks; snapped at the top of the umbrella when I opened it.
From: JAY | Date: 9/23/2022 11:00 PM
Sunshade
Very pleased with the speed that it came and how easy it is to use it. Would recommend it!
From: PEG | Date: 8/29/2022 11:00 PM
Great product!
This pop up sunshade is easy to use and stays in place! Would highly recommend.

Car Windshield Umbrella Buddy Keeps Your Car Cool
This is an excellent product that performs exactly as advertised! It is so easy to use on any windshield to keep your car cool and protect the interior from the harmful rays of the sun. I have tried the folding windshield protectors and they were so unwieldy and never fit just right. This product is also easy to store in the car. The Umbrella Buddy performs exactly as advertised and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to protect the interior of their car from the sun.
From: KATHLEEN | Date: 8/28/2022 11:00 PM
Great sunshade
It works great once you figure out the angle you need to use to place it on your dash. Compact and works just like it said it would.
From: SHIRLEY | Date: 8/27/2022 11:00 PM
easy and does what it says
I would give this product a 5 star rating.
From: MICHAEL A. | Date: 8/27/2022 11:00 PM
Windshield Umbrella
This works pretty good and has kept my vehicle cooler.
From: REBECCA | Date: 8/27/2022 11:00 PM
sunshade
great product, good price
From: CHUCK | Date: 8/27/2022 11:00 PM
Deceiving!
Not as great as advertised and certainly not very practical. It is very difficult to open the umbrella and to keep it stable on the dash. I definitely regret this purchase. OP
From: ODETTE | Date: 8/27/2022 11:00 PM
Difficult to open
The Windshield Umbrella Buddy is difficult to fully open. Actually, I have yet to be able to fully open it. On the plus side, it takes up a lot less space the usual windshield cover
From: Gary | Date: 8/27/2022 11:00 PM
Great
It really makes a difference in the temperature inside of the car.
From: REGGIE | Date: 8/21/2022 11:00 PM
Umbrella
The Umbrella works great. Much easier than a regular sunshade.
From: Murray | Date: 8/20/2022 11:00 PM
Makes a BIG difference!
This sunbrella as I call it is soooo much better than those regular sunscreens. It folds to a nice compact size and is easy to open and close. Best of all, it keeps my car a lot cooler and protected. This is my second...my grandson broke the first one.

Umbrella Buddy Car Windshield
I bought this particular Sunshade as a gift. I have been happy with the previous ones I have bought which several of them were also gifts. I like the one I have for myself. They really work
From: SUSAN | Date: 8/4/2022 11:00 PM
Works great
So quick and easy to use and it looks good in doing so
From: MIKE | Date: 7/7/2022 11:00 PM
Fantastic
All my friends want one.
From: LARRY D. | Date: 7/7/2022 11:00 PM
Awesome Window coverage!!!
Fits perfectly and opens just like a umbrella!! Use one hand to slide it in place and you re ready to go! Couldn t be easier!!
From: ESTHER | Date: 7/7/2022 11:00 PM
Great investment
I love this Umbrella Buddy. It keeps things cool. So thankful we bought it
From: PHOEBE | Date: 7/4/2022 11:00 PM
Umbrella Windshield Cover
Big! Covers SUV windshield. Needs wrap-around hole for mirror. Easy to open and close. Stores same as small umbrella.

Umbrella Buddy Car Windshield
I am very happy with my purchase. They were gifts to my kids and they were very pleased with them and said they worked great.
From: SUSAN | Date: 6/30/2022 11:00 PM
Very inconvenient
Came with NO instructions and found it very difficult to open for the first time. Once I finally figured that out, it has no space for the rear view mirror nor is there anything to prop the holder on. I cant imagine it lasting more than a time or two in the window. Not at all suitable for my Honda CR-V.
From: JOYCE L | Date: 6/19/2022 11:00 PM
Works as advertised
Awesome product Awesome price
From: KERRY | Date: 6/10/2022 11:00 PM
Windshield umbrella is fantastic
This windshield umbrella is great for keeping temperatures cooler and protecting the interior of your vehicle! My third purchase of one. I misplaced one and gave another to a friend!
From: AARON | Date: 6/8/2022 11:00 PM
Best and Easiest Windshield Sun Blocker!
This is the BEST and EASIEST device I ve ever seen or used in 65 years of motoring! It really works and keeps our Honda CR-V cooler and protects the interior. Have a dash mat to protect while driving, but this works when parked. Great product!
From: LYNWOOD | Date: 6/3/2022 11:00 PM
Best solution for us
We live in a warm often hot part of the country where we need to block the sun coming into our car as best we can. We have used conventional sun screens, even one custom fit to our car, and they have always been a challenge to put in place, and even more so to put away. This umbrella-like design handles both jobs much better. It is easy to set up and folds up very compactly and stores easily under our drivers seat.

Car windshield umbrella budy
Outstanding
From: JAMES C. | Date: 5/7/2022 11:00 PM
UMBRELLA BUDDY
I THINK IT IS ONE THE THE MOST PRACTICAL PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET. I LOVE IT. NO TIME TO SETUP OR TAKE DOWN WHILE IN THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS 15 TO 20 DEGREES COOLER EVEN AFTER SITTING IN THE SUN MOST OF THE DAY. THE BEST PRODUCT I THINK I HAVE EVER PURCHASED.
From: MICHAEL H | Date: 12/30/2021 10:00 PM
Great Sun Blocker
This sun blocker is very easy to open and put in place. It closes easily and small enough to store under the seat.
From: JEANNINE | Date: 11/19/2021 10:00 PM
Dont buy just one!
So glad I ordered two of these! Mine worked so well, my wife took it, So the one Id purchased for her, as a gift, I unwrapped it and Im now using it! easy to use, fits really well, Mine is in a Toyota Rav4, hers is in a Ford Fusion.
From: Kevin | Date: 11/14/2021 10:00 PM
Great product
This is a great idea to keep the sun off your dash! We live in Florida and the sun gets pretty intense. The screen we had did not fit our new van! This one is large enough to cover the entire windshield! And it folds up and back in the case I really did not think it would!
From: CAROL | Date: 11/4/2021 11:00 PM
Great for New Mexico!
It gets hot here especially in the car. This is so much easier to take on and off the windshield than my old windshield shade
From: CHRIS | Date: 11/3/2021 11:00 PM
Not good
It doesnt unfold easily and there is no cutout for the rearview mirror. And if you do get it up to the windshield, no way to support it, at least in my Honda Accord.
From: JOHN | Date: 10/21/2021 11:00 PM
Not Good
Bought a total of 6 of these sunshades and 3 have already broken in a 2 week period.
From: S | Date: 9/30/2021 11:00 PM
Love it! Better than anticipated!
I ve been struggling with those cheap mylar accordion-type car window shades forever, so I figured why not try this? I couldn t beat the price. But when I got it, it was so easy to use, it stays in place you just need to flip down the visors. Really well-made and looks pretty durable. It even comes with this great little case to put it in, like you would an umbrella. Bravo!

Click to read about our staffHave you seen those umbrella-like sunshades on TV yet? They pop open like a regular umbrella and you put it in your car's windshield. We've got 'em and boy do we have a better price than them!

Why Do You Need This?

The Umbrella Buddy is the simple, one step fix for cooling down the inside of your car, protecting the interior surfaces from sun damage, and preventing burns from hot steering wheels or leather seats.

It opens just like an umbrella, but the outer surface is coated in a reflective metal that bounces the sun's harmful UV rays out of your vehicle. The harsh sunlight can create intense heat and cause car interiors to fade or crack over time.

When you get back to the car, simply fold it up and put it in the convenient carrying case - it's about the size of a water bottle. Keep it in the glove box, or take it on the go: it will also work as a regular sun or rain umbrella in a pinch!

It's designed to fit most windshields of cars, trucks, SUVs and more, but check the website for the dimensions just to be sure.

It works just like the ones sold on TV, but did you know they charge you so much money if you wanted to get a second one? Instead, this falls under the PulseTV Buy More, Save More Policy (save an extra $2 when you get 2!)

FEATURES and BENEFITS:
- Instant Shade Coverage For Your Car's Windshield
- Lowers Internal Car Temperature
- Blocks and Reflects Harmful UV Rays
- No More Burning Steering Wheel, Seats, and Dashboard
- Protects Surfaces, Leather Interiors from Damage and Aging
- Pops Open Like an Umbrella
- Compact Size Folds for Easy Storage
