Motor Trend - AS-312-RD Front Windshield Sun Shade

The Motor Trend AS-312-RD is a jumbo accordion-style windshield sun shade that blocks UV rays and lowers interior temperature for cars, trucks, SUVs and vans.

Keep your vehicle cooler and protect interior surfaces with a lightweight, reversible sun shade designed to fit most full-size windshields. Built with a double-layer reflective “double bubble” construction and a foldable accordion frame, this 66 x 27 inch red sun shade installs in seconds, stores compactly, and helps shield dash, upholstery and electronics from sunlight and heat.

How much heat and UV protection does this sun shade provide?

The dual-layer reflective design combined with the bubble insulation reduces direct solar heating and blocks a large portion of UV radiation. Users typically see a substantial interior temperature drop and reduced fading risk for dash and upholstery.

• Double-bubble reflective layers for heat deflection.
• Designed to block UV rays that accelerate interior wear.
• Reported interior temperature reductions of 30–50°F in direct sun.

Will the 66 x 27 inch size fit my vehicle?

This jumbo accordion shade is made for universal fitment and will suit many sedans, SUVs, trucks and vans. The tapered edges and use of the rearview mirror for support help achieve a snug fit across a wide range of windshield shapes.

• Overall dimensions: 66" wide x 27" high for wide windshields.
• Tapered edge design for closer fit to glass contours.
• Compatible with most passenger vehicles, trucks, minivans and SUVs.

How easy is it to install, remove and store the shade?

The accordion fold opens and props against the windshield quickly, then folds down compactly for storage. A simple hook-and-loop strap keeps it rolled tight so it fits neatly in glove boxes, door pockets, or under seats when not in use.

• Instant pop-open installation using rearview mirror or dash support.
• Folds into a compact shape that stores easily in small compartments.
• Hook-and-loop closure secures folded shade for transport.

What materials and features make this shade durable?

Constructed with reinforced edges and a collapsible frame, the Motor Trend shade resists creasing while remaining lightweight. The reversible finish lets you use either reflective side, extending the useful life and flexibility of the shade.

• Dual-layer reflective bubble material for insulation and strength.
• Reinforced frame and tapered edges for consistent fit and durability.
• Reversible surfaces for two-way use and longer service life.

Who is this for: Drivers and families who want a simple, effective way to protect vehicle interiors from sun damage and heat. This shade suits owners of daily commuters, midsize SUVs, full-size trucks and minivans who value quick setup, compact storage and a universal fit without modifying the vehicle. It's also useful for people parking outdoors frequently, anyone aiming to reduce HVAC cooldown time when entering a hot car, and owners looking to preserve dashboard, seat and electronics condition in sunny climates.
