Built from a high-density 260T reflective fabric with a double-thickness construction, it pairs a silver outward-facing reflective layer with a black inward insulation layer to reduce heat buildup, lower interior temperatures, and shield dash and upholstery from fading. The shade folds compactly for storage and is quick to install, making it a practical accessory for daily parking or long trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this shade reduce interior heat and protect surfaces?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shade reflects solar radiation away from the glass while an inner black insulation layer minimizes heat transfer into the cabin.
