Automotive · Windshield Sun Shade
The wheel you can hold without flinching. The seat you can sit on in shorts. The dashboard that is not cooking. That is what a windshield shade is actually for — and the EcoNour is two joined circles of reflective silver that pop open against the glass and do exactly that, if the size is right for your glass.
01 — The fit check
This shade is sized in inches, not in car names. The Medium this page links spans 64 inches wide and 32 tall, and the two circles overlap to take up slack. Slide to your windshield's width, set its height, and read the honest line.
Your windshield: 61 in wide
The Medium is the maker's size for this; measure at the glass, not the trim.
The two circles overlap to close the gap on smaller glass — the maker quotes up to 8 inches of overlap on one image, up to 6 on another; both figures are the maker's.

02 — The 3 pm story
A shade like this earns its keep in one minute: the walk back across the lot at three in the afternoon. Five buyers, five lots, verbatim — four of them on the maker's vehicle-specific sets, one on the Medium this page links.
"Recently we had a heat dome over our state, and it was in the 90s. I had this in the window, and I was able to wipe down/clean the interior of the vehicle (with door open) for some time without even starting to get too hot. It was pretty shocking for it to help reduce temperature that much-especially in the heat of late morning with the sun blazing down! The shade fits every inch perfectly."

"I purchased three of these for three different cars, so my review applies to all of them. This sunshade is really nice! It does a good job keeping sunlight out of the front of the vehicle and, since there are different sizes for different vehicles, the fit is almost perfect. It is very light, easy to install and quite simply, does the job."
Rich M5 out of 5 · August 5, 2026
"This works. It fits perfectly and completely blocks the sun coming in from the windshield. Truck is much cooler with it than without it. While the folding up part of it is kind of a pain, it is doable (often I am by myself so I just throw it in the back seat without folding)."
Great Greg4 out of 5 · July 2, 2026
"Perfect fit for my Miata, folds away easily (it can stow easily under the passenger's seat), and really works to reduce heat gain into the car while parking. So for my fellow Miata owners, if you don't have this accessory, I highly recommend this sunshade if you want to prevent heat gain on those sunny days."

"It has a clever design that allows it to fit windshields of different widths. It has extra material around the edges that can be tucked into the areas beyond the main shade…" David's is the Medium — the universal 64 x 32 this page links.

04 — Straight talk
Before the evidence, the evidence against. Every critical voice we hold on this shade, verbatim — the sizing misses, the folding fight, the hot back side, and the shape surprise.
The sizing voices
"I got this for my 2011 Subaru Forester. I got the suggested size which turned out to be a medium… it's far to big. I'm able to manipulate it so it fits, but it's kind of a pain in the butt. My husband tried it in his 2016 dodged caravan and it fit like a glove!"
Rayce Court · 3/5 · July 18, 2026
"Blocks heat exceptionally, but it is too large for my 2009 Subaru. Quite disappointing as I entered the year, make and model of my car to get an accurate size."
C. Kane · 3/5 · July 17, 2026
"Does not fit a Subaru Legacy! It's way too large."
Jami Bettis · 3/5 · August 10, 2026
"Although I purchased the size recommended for a Mazda 3. it's *too big*. Too big for the windows; too big to use the velcro fasteners. I have been able to adapt it, but it's not ideal"
Crone Dancer · 3/5 · July 23, 2026
"Too long for my car"
Tisa · 3/5 · August 17, 2026
"It did fit my car Right.. But i'm still using it. It helps but not like the others I have for my cars."
Scott Arroyo · 3/5 · July 23, 2026
The folding voices
"Keeps the sun out with a huge shade, but unless you majored in origami you will never be able to fold it up again."
Brittainy · 3/5 · August 19, 2026
"It works okay, but I like the umbrella style better. Can be tricky to try to fold it back up again."
J. Butorac · 3/5 · July 26, 2026
"Was a little tricky figuring out how to fold it back into the cover, but got it done and it is small enough to keep out of the way when not using it."
amazon shopper · 5/5 · September 1, 2026
The counterpoint, same listing: "the folding takes a little getting used to, but there's a YouTube video (QR code link included with the product) that shows you how. Once you do it a couple times, its pretty easy."
Rich M · 5/5 · August 5, 2026
The hot back side
"It fits just right, but the black back side doesn't help the hot days in Las Vegas, it is super hot when I try to retract and fold it, (not able for that reason) I will try to return it."
Francisco Lezama · 3/5 · August 17, 2026
Two circles, not a rectangle
"The picture show a rectangular shield....what i received is 2 connected circles that don't actually cover the outer side edges of the windowshield on my 2017 Subaru outback"
nancy leat · 3/5 · August 8, 2026
The plain rule: measure the glass. The Medium is 64 x 32.
Width at the widest point, height at the tallest, on the glass itself — not the trim, not the car's name. If your number is near the edges of 64 x 32, the overlap and the nine sizes on the listing do the rest.
05 — Evidence
The listing's own composites, used as evidence: the Medium's dimensions, the material, the pouch, the overlap — and the two-page fit chart, captioned as what it is, with the caveat it does not carry.
The Medium, dimensioned
The maker's own composite: "Medium 64 x 32 inches" with the dimension arrows, the 240T polyester swatch, the storage pouch — and "easy overlapping for a snug fit up to 6 inches." The figure is the maker's.
The overlap, from the cabin
The maker's cabin-view demo quotes "up to 8 inches" of overlap. The dimensioned composite beside it says 6. Both figures are the maker's, printed side by side because they disagree — plan around the smaller one.
The maker's list, page one
Acura through GMC, under "available in 9 different sizes." The maker's chart, attributed as such — with the absence the chart does not mention: Subaru owners report the Medium too big.
The maker's list, page two
Honda through Mercury. Same chart, same caveat: it is the maker's list, and the tape measure is yours.
The fit chart above is the maker's, reproduced for reference. Four Subaru owners — Forester, Outback, Legacy and a 2009 Subaru — report the Medium too big despite the chart's guidance. Measure your own glass.
06 — Against the rest of the dash
The sun-shade shelf is full of good intentions. Where this one objectively stands apart — and where the whole class loses, stated plainly.
vs the umbrella style
Umbrella-style shades open like the rain kind, ribs and all. This one is two sprung circles that pop open and press against the glass — no ribs, no handle, nothing to aim. One buyer, J. Butorac, tried this one and still writes "I like the umbrella style better" — printed here because it is his honest call. The circles win on speed: pop, place, done.
vs a towel on the dash
A towel shades the dashboard and nothing else — the sun still pours through the whole windshield and the cabin still cooks. The maker's 240T polyester fills the glass itself, and the overlap lets two circles cover one wide opening. Lauren's heat-dome report above is the buyer-side proof, in her words.
vs the maker's vehicle-specific sets
The same listing sells sets cut for specific vehicles, and three of the happiest voices on this page — Rich M, Alek R and Dtobaru — bought exactly those. This page links the Medium, the universal 64 x 32. Universal means the overlap does the fitting, and the measuring is yours.
Where this whole class loses
Two-circle shades size in inches, and wrong-size buys fill the three-star file — seven critical voices, four of them Subaru owners. The twist-fold defeats some owners entirely. The black back side can get hot to the touch. And two circles are not a rectangle: the outer edges of wide glass may stay uncovered. Measure, then buy.
07 — The wall
Every review we hold from the live listing, verbatim — the five-stars and the three-stars in the same wall, names, stars and dates intact. The spread, first:
67% five-star, 17% four, 8% three, 3% two, 5% one
"Miata (2016-2025) Perfect fit for my Miata, folds away easily (it can stow easily under the passenger's seat), and really works to reduce heat gain into the car while parking. So for my fellow Miata owners, if you don't have this accessory, I highly recommend this sunshade if you want to prevent heat gain on those sunny days. I thought I wouldn't need such a product given it is a convertible, but I was quite wrong on that belief. And the price is worth the fit/quality of this product."
"It has a clever design that allows it to fit windshields of different widths. It has extra material around the edges that can be tucked into the areas beyond the main shade…"
"Works great, fits perfectly, good quality pretty substantial. Was a little tricky figuring out how to fold it back into the cover, but got it done and it is small enough to keep out of the way when not using it. It only takes a few seconds to place it in the window and is well worth the effort, keeps the hot sun out. I highly recommend."
"Keeps the sun out with a huge shade, but unless you majored in origami you will never be able to fold it up again."
"It fits just right, but the black back side doesn't help the hot days in Las Vegas, it is super hot when I try to retract and fold it, (not able for that reason) I will try to return it."
"Too long for my car"
"Does not fit a Subaru Legacy! It's way too large."
"The picture show a rectangular shield....what i received is 2 connected circles that don't actually cover the outer side edges of the windowshield on my 2017 Subaru outback"
"I purchased three of these for three different cars, so my review applies to all of them. This sunshade is really nice! It does a good job keeping sunlight out of the front of the vehicle and, since there are different sizes for different vehicles, the fit is almost perfect. It is very light, easy to install and quite simply, does the job. Another really nice feature is portability and storage. As big as your windshield is, with a couple of twists and folds, the shade folds into a circular shape about the size of a standard frisbee and stores in a bag that is included. Yes, the folding takes a little getting used to, but there's a YouTube video (QR code link included with the product) that shows you how. Once you do it a couple times, its pretty easy. And if you forget, there's a large QR code on the back of the storage bag…"
"Recently we had a heat dome over our state, and it was in the 90s. I had this in the window, and I was able to wipe down/clean the interior of the vehicle (with door open) for some time without even starting to get too hot. It was pretty shocking for it to help reduce temperature that much-especially in the heat of late morning with the sun blazing down! The shade fits every inch perfectly. Super easy to install (it almost installs itself-you don't have to fidget with it hardly at all. Super stable, secure once it's in. Looks really nice and neat/flat to window. Great price for what you receive. Keeps the car cooler for my mom when we're in the store and it's hotter! When we return she easily is able to be in the car as the air conditioner starts to work, but isn't as cold at first…"
"I've had an EcoNour shade before and never had a single complaint about it, so when I needed one for my Nissan Rogue, this was the easy choice. Turns out they've made some real improvements since my last one. The fit is the biggest change. It's made specifically for the Rogue's windshield, so it sits right where it should without any adjusting or tucking. It's also thicker than before, and because it fits so well, it just stays in place on its own. I used to have to fold my mirrors in to hold my old shade steady, but I don't need to do that anymore. It's still just as quick to fold out and set up as before, and it covers the whole windshield with no gaps for light to sneak through. When I'm done with it, it folds back down small enough to toss in the door pocket or between the seat…"
"It works okay, but I like the umbrella style better. Can be tricky to try to fold it back up again."
"Although I purchased the size recommended for a Mazda 3. it's *too big*. Too big for the windows; too big to use the velcro fasteners. I have been able to adapt it, but it's not ideal"
"It did fit my car Right.. But i'm still using it. It helps but not like the others I have for my cars."
"I got this for my 2011 Subaru Forester. I got the suggested size which turned out to be a medium. The shipping was super quick. It was delivered the next day but it's far to big. I'm able to manipulate it so it fits, but it's kind of a pain in the butt. My husband tried it in his 2016 dodged caravan and it fit like a glove!"
"Blocks heat exceptionally, but it is too large for my 2009 Subaru. Quite disappointing as I entered the year, make and model of my car to get an accurate size."
"This works. It fits perfectly and completely blocks the sun coming in from the windshield. Truck is much cooler with it than without it. While the folding up part of it is kind of a pain, it is doable (often I am by myself so I just throw it in the back seat without folding). Only reason for 4 stars is I'm not sure about the durability...will see over the long term. The sun in North Georgia right now is brutal and I am curious to see how it impacts this sun shade in the coming years. Overall, I'm pleased. Price was a little high - but if it lasts a few years will be worth it. The key is it fits perfectly"
08 — Asked cold
The Medium: two joined reflective circles spanning 64 x 32 inches, the universal fit. The same listing carries nine sizes in total plus vehicle-specific sets, and the size picker lives on the listing. The fit chart there is the maker's — measure your windshield and choose with your own numbers.
Only your tape measure answers that. Measure the glass itself — width at the widest point, height at the tallest — not the trim around it. The maker says the Medium fits windshields up to 64 x 32 inches, and the two circles overlap to take up slack on smaller glass. One warning the chart does not give: owners of a Forester, an Outback, a Legacy and a 2009 Subaru all report the Medium too big, so Subaru drivers should measure twice and consider the maker's smaller sizes.
For several buyers, yes. Brittainy writes that unless you majored in origami you will never be able to fold it up again, and Great Greg admits he often just throws it in the back seat without folding. Others crack it: Rich M says the folding takes a little getting used to, points out the QR code on the storage bag that links to an instruction video, and calls it pretty easy after a couple of tries. Expect a learning curve, not a one-motion fold.
One buyer says it does. Francisco Lezama reports that the black back side of his EcoNour shade gets super hot to the touch on hot days in Las Vegas — hot enough that he could not retract and fold it. The silver side faces the sun; the cabin side is black, and in serious heat it can hold that heat when you take it down.
240T polyester, per the listing — a reflective silver sun-facing side over a black cabin side, on a sprung rim that pops the two circles open and twists flat again. The maker calls it premium 240T polyester built for long-lasting performance in extreme summer heat; the material claims are the maker's.
Yes. The EcoNour windshield shade twists down into an included storage pouch. Rich M describes the folded shade as about the size of a standard frisbee, notes the large QR code on the back of the bag, and amazon shopper confirms it ends up small enough to keep out of the way when not in use.
Two circles, joined and overlapped — not a rectangle. Buyer nancy leat expected the rectangular shield in the picture and received two connected circles that left the outer side edges of her windshield uncovered. The overlap in the middle is how the shade adjusts across widths, which is why the maker quotes an overlap figure at all.
The maker claims it shields the vehicle from harmful UV rays, and states no percentage anywhere on the listing — so this page states none either. What buyers verify is light and heat: Lauren cleaned her interior with the door open through a heat dome without getting too hot, and Great Greg says it completely blocks the sun coming in from the windshield.
09 — The wheel at 3 pm
Honestly: this is a good shade for the glass it actually fits, and a frustrating one for the glass it does not. The difference is a tape measure, sixty seconds, and your own two numbers. Measure first — then the next noon lot is just a parking lot, and the walk back at three is nothing.
Measure the glass. Then never think about the noon lot again.
