The KDL Windshield Snow Cover Sun Shade Protector is something I have needed for a while now living in the Mid-West with all the snow and ice. This will work great while I am at work or out and not home. I always park my car in a garage at home (won’t have a house without one now) but when you are out, it’s such a pain to scrape your windows before you can leave.
This comes wrapped up in a bag made from the same material as the cover. More like an umbrella.
The protector itself is a thick 600D Oxford cloth material that is really easy to move, hold and fold. The straps are a little on the small and thin side and at first, I thought “cheap” but as I was installing this, they work really well and stay around the mirrors without any problems. Each end has a tubular piece in it that helps to install this as well as rolling this up once done using it. The underside has a clear plastic sheeting on it to help stop moisture and from sticking to your windshield.
This doesn’t take very long to install and is pretty easy to do it. Hooking this on the one mirror first keeps it in place as you pull it across to the other side. Hook the strap on the other mirror and you are good to go. I do wish it had a third strap that would do across the inside or the car and snap together and kept in place by the car doors being closed over it to stop anyone from stealing this.
I haven’t had to use this yet since I received it, but think it should work very well. I am a little worried that with ice, this may be hard to get off the car in order to leave. That and folding this up with snow and ice on it may also be a challenge in order to get it back in the bag it gets stored in. Guess you could always throw it in the trunk and store it later? You will also need to make sure that everything gets dried sometimes as well so it doesn’t mold over time.
Overall, a very good concept and idea. We will see how practical it is and how useful it is over time and if the straps will last. Right this minute, I would say a great thing to get if you think you may need something like this.
