Does anyone use this in a cold environment? I live in Canada and I heard that suction cup sunshades don't stick in the cold weather. Do these ones?

You are right to wonder as many do have a hard time sticking and it is usually bc they are being stuck to a cold surface. If you warm the car first then stick it on it should hold through out the day but that also depends if you are talking about -5 or -30. Also it is advised to have a clean surface too. These cups are quite sticky, so please do try and if it does not work then contact Starlight and Sunny for customer support, they will make sure you are taken care of !

Well it doesn't work well at all IMO but I doubt it's any worse with a UV windshield. Besides... Aren't all windshields UV protected?

I live in the cold prairies of Canada and have one of these. The windows do not seem to fog much for me when I am plowing snow. I think that because it is not air tight, it doesn't fog much. As far as the cab being warmer, I would say that it is not. It's nice because you don't have the wind on you but there seems to be a decent gap from the bottom of the windshield part and my hood which let's in a little breeze. I'm not disappointed in it for the price. I would buy one again. Zippers on the doors seem to be good and install didn't take too long to figure out. Hopefully that helps a little...

I have mine placed on the outside of my tinted window and it's holding up great here in the Pacific Northwest with it's infamous wet weather. I think that if you use an adhesive remover like "Goo Gone" to remove the sticker, you shouldn't have any problems.

Elizabeth-with this one, I guess you would have to detach the bottom suction cups. This shade is more for the window on a hatchback. They do have shades for the side windows that attach so that they go up and down with the window without detaching.Hope my answer helps.

I had a sunroof on my Acadia when I used it. It was no problem for us. Great product still looks like new

These shades are actually more suited for vans, than standard cars. Because the front side windows are slanted, they do not fit. Suction cups are limited on an angle. I used them in the back, but, they do not completely shade you from the sun if it is directly side of you. You can still see the extreme brightness through the shade.

Helpful Hint: the window mount suction cups that come with the unit are terrible and keep falling off the glass. Instead use genuine Escort detector suction cups instead--they fit in the Cobra window bracket perfectly and are the best long-lasting suction cups made. Amazon or eBay has them, but make sure they are the genuine article (crystal clear transparent plastic, not the semi-transparent plastic). My Cobra detector window mount now stays put in all weather.

The suction cup is pretty good. So if the dashboard is smooth enough, it'll be okay. Mine is not. So i used the easy to remove 2 sided tape.I don't know how long that will hold in the summer heat.

I have a Honda Accord 2007, dash is textured. From the time I placed it on the dash, I have not removed it once. So far, its sticking. My concern is if I take if off, I won't be able to place it on again. Since I purchased it when the weather was starting to cool down, I'm not sure how heat will affect it. But so far, I'm still very happy with the product. I use it daily due to my job.

It will stick, it is sticky, although it may drip down on top of you a bit. There is some minimum temperature you are supposed to use it in, I can't remember. If it's in the warm zone, you'll also get greater coverage. When it is colder, it doesn't expand as much.

Not so much... That's the only down side. Since it's got the sticker ring attached to the suction cup, it tends to detach from the Dashboard in the 90+ heat, if there is anything in the bracket. When it's sitting empty, with no weight to pull it down, it stays, even in the heat.

I use it on my dashboard but rarely have my car parked in prolonged sunlight as I park in a covered parking garage. The Texas heat has not had any affect on it though.

I applied it when it was warm out - but it has done fine in the ice and snow. No peeling, etc.... Not sure about APPLYING it while cold. Don't THINK that should matter.... It sticks very well. Maybe just make sure you clean the surface well.

I've used mine for a few months now and I've never had a problem with the suction cups. It does not come with a visor clip but being solar it wouldn't work on the visor.

I always lift my wipers in cold weather off the windshield until I am ready to drive. I have not had your problem as yet. But my fluid lines are attached to the wiper arm, so the hot fluid is sprayed across the glass with the wiper movement. Works pretty good for me. My Temps only go down to 0 rarely. Usually around +10 at night.
