Anybody tried these on the rear window of a wagon or suv? How do they work in the more vertical and out-of-the-wind application?

Doubtful you will find one that would fit the rear window. Most rear windows require a wiper around 10" or so and these usually come in no smaller than 18"

I am not technical in any way. My personal experience with these blades is while defrosting the wipers have uneven pressure. There are several adapters included of which I didn't throw away or tried yet. These are single edged wipers that do need the wind for pressure against the window

We have a Cadillac SRX which has a hump on the dash close to the window. We put it over the hump and it forms to whatever you put it on. Ours is right up by the window and works perfectly. I don't think there is a place it wouldn't work. We tried several places and decided to put it as close to the window as possible. Works great.

Jonathan, I don't know if I can respond affirmatively to your question. I can tell you that I replaced my 2005 Pathfinder with these and they worked extremely well. In fact, they work better than the original ones at the time I purchased them. Installation was a breeze. You might check Rock Auto for confirmation, I believe they sell these as well. If the site you visited, was an automotive site that requires specific information on your Pathfinder (year, model etc) and they confirmed, then you should not have any issues. I don't believe the 08 Pathfinder is different in reference to rear window design. I know this isn't specific information, but I was asked to try.

These permanently mount to the glass. You theoretically could use them for side windows, but you would not be able to roll the window up and down.

I don't see why not. The lateral top mount hooks over the ledge where the door window rolls up and down from, while the bottom strap with clip extends down the door panel and hooks under it at the base, ratcheting it taunt. What keeps it sturdy and in position is the pressure from the window glass on top so you may not want these if you like to drive with your windows completely down. They are designed to put on then off when not towing. There are other more permanent options available for US trucks as I recall when searching for towing mirrors for my 06 Tundra. Good luck.

I have them in my rear and back windows. My guess about what the person meant, was that with some "real" window tinting, it can make the car not get as hot if it's sitting in the sun. But that these window clings don't keep your car from getting hot; they would only block the sun. Again, this is my guess. I think it's a weird statement to make about window clings. I'm aware they're not like the real thing, but they do a good job of making my car less bright for my son in his rear-facing car seat. I'm not gonna get my windows tinted permanently for a temporary situation.

I would think they would work on any vehicle. They are adjustable across to attach to any width. You may have more overhang on either side than I do on my minivan. I have been using these continuously (not removing them from my vehicle at any time) for five years, and they are still holding up and staying tightened down great. They are not all that appealing because they do overhang on either side instead of attaching to the side bars and stopping there, but that's part of having an aftermarket product and not the one made for your vehicle. They are wonderful for the price!

The curve of the wndow is in cars that have those tear drop shapes to them, this leaves a gap at the end where the glass curves . My F150 truck windows are lovely and square and these window barriers work awesome. Very rigid and safe. I also use them in my ford fiesta and they fit pretty fine there too.

I have a 2006 scion Xa. Window is almost vertical. No problems with suction cups. I spray a little water on window to help with seal.

Our windows were not the right shape for this sunshade. We used them anyway, they don't look very good, wrinkles. But they do what they are designed to do, keep the sun out well enough for our dogs. We don't roll the windows in the back seat down that much, so I can't help you with that.

I have mine pillar mounted and don't find that they obstruct my view out the windshield at all. My wife has hers roll bar mounted, and she has never complained that they block her view out the windows either. So in our opinion they do not obstruct the view either way.

do not use them for any vehicle, it is waste of money and time, i have a few of them and will give them to you for half price. do not use them. they are very unsafe and it is not the correct way of lowring a vehicle.

Honestly i use them on the side and rear of my vehicle. I tried using them on my front (interior) but the suntint makes the white appear blue, I use a whelen slim miser for my frontward warning. I can send you a video of the lights working? Ive had them about 2 months and they work fantastic. There bright and move traffic great.

We haven't tried but I can't see why not. They weren't large enough to cover the rear passenger windows therefore it might be perfect for the driver's side however it will be a pain when you need to roll the window down.

No idea why. Should be okay so long as it's not on the windshield, blocking any view to side or rear, and doesn't interfere with window operation. I've got one on each side of the 5er and they've 'stuck' on fine.

Yup. They don't touch the windows, so you can open windows with them in. This was the whole reason i got mine. The only issue is the speed you're going. I wouldn't open the window if you were going over 100 km/hr, because they can fall out of the holders (and potentially go out the window). I think the instructions said to not open the windows going over 130, but I found I started to have issues at 100

It isn't designed for vertical use. It is designed to be used with double hung windows. I suppose you could jerry-rig it to work with a casement window but it wouldn't be pretty and you may find the hoses aren't long enough.
