Could this cover also be used in the Summertime to keep the heat out? My indoor sunvisor broke from using a sunshade. I want to try this cover to keep the snow off my wipers and windshield. ~Thanks

The cover doesn't have any reflective qualities that I can see, therefore I would say it would not keep the heat out. It is great for winter weather though. I've given these covers as gifts and have always received rave compliments on its effectiveness.

I don't know if you received my reply (computer doing weird things) so I'm sending a reply again. Sorry if I'm duplicating. I have 2 of these, one for the front window and one for the back. I use them in the summer to help block out the sun. If I had my dog in the car and went to the store, I would use them to help block out the sun (and cracked the windows of course). But they work great for keeping off snow and ice, and for blocking out the sun. Again, I use them year round. Hope this helps answer your question. :-)

Beachwalker, you can find a custom fit sun reflector @ http://www.weathertech.com/product-education-center/techshade/ for $69 or buy a generic at local big box store. Or see your car dealer they may have 1 to fit. I have 1 & it works well. Expensive but fits perfect & reflects heat.

I have used it all summer long to keep debris and sun off the front window. Works great.

I suppose you could use it for sunshade. The cover has magnets to hold it onto the car, then there are two flaps that are supposed to be closed into the front doors of your car for extra security. I live in Colorado, where we get a lot of snow and wind, and the cover has never failed me.

good point. this will be my first summer using it. it did wonders for the winter. my bedroom and bathroom over the garage hit 80 degrees for the first time since I owned the house. I will definitely keep an eye on the temps this summer. Worst case I should delicately be able to remove the insulation for the summer. Shoot me a message in August. I will let you know if my house burned down. lol

This is the best I can answer your question. We got it to use in a camp ground to protect the car from dust, oak fog and cotton wood debris. It does the job and we consider it waterproof too. It was in a bevy rain Saturday night . There were a few drops laying of top of the cover but nothing wet underneath. And, yes, we feel that it also protects from the sun. Hope this helps you.

Hi Patrick I have this cover and it has been out in the snow and sun and still looks great. It is a great quality cover and I am very happy with it

The solar panel works well but only with direct exposure. You would have to clean the panel every so often to remove accumulated dust. Once installed, I would create a moisture barrier from your local hardware store since the rubber is not a waterproof fit. Although it will ventilate it just doesn't have the capacity to keep a med-suv car cool in the summer heat.

There are two covers made by the same manufacturer. One is a Winter cover which sould not be used in the Summer season when the AC unit is running. The other is a Summer cover which can be used when the AC unit is running. It's especially great if your unit is under or near any trees which drop leaves.

Take the cover off. It's meant to be a buffer against the weather/birds/leaves etc. Also a very good winter cover if you live in the northern environ.

Hello Monica, As you have probably read from other customer reviews, the sun shades in this stroller are pretty much useless. I guess putting a blanket on top cover the sun quite decently. I bought this item because my pettite wife could not handle a 40 lbs stroller so this was a perfect solution.

this umbrella was great to block the sun. we bought a second umbrella at the beach and you could feel the heat coming through it. this one from amazon is great for cover and UV protection. u

Didn't melt for me in the AZ summer, but I also didn't leave it on the dash out in the sun without a sunshade on my windshield all day long. I keep it in my center console and place it on the dash when needed, takes 3 seconds and I believe that it extends the life of my investment. I would imagine that if you left it permanently on the dash under the sun the rubber would harden and loose it's "stickyness" within a couple of months which would render it useless, and yeah it may even melt but I am just speculating.

We covered out camper last fall here in Vermont and parked it. My husband has gone and checked on it a few times and says the cover had held up great. We have just had one of the worst winters here in a very long time.

They do get installed out doors a lot in southern climates where you are protected from freezing. However, it is more ideal to have some type of awning or some direct protection from rain fall. The cover does a great job, but I like to add a little more protection to them.

hi, not certain about sun's impact on the bike cover. unfortunately ours did not survive this year's severe nyc winter. bill

I live in southern AZ (110 deg. summer temps). Used the cover in KS (summer/winter 2013) with no issues. After moving to AZ, the cover deteriorated quickly over the spring/summer/fall of 2014. I'd estimate the cover will last approx. 1-2 years if used in southern AZ. Most RV covers are made out of similar material, so not sure switching brands would help. IMO, this cover is still a good investment. I'd rather have a deteriorating cover than a deteriorating RV.

I used my item in the summer rain and it held out good. It was still working when I put it away in November. I would cover it with plastic(a bag) if you plan on using it in the snow,...just to be safe.

I can understand your problem, but it is fairly simple to install. The part that attaches to the sunvisor will expand or detract to fit over the sunvisor. fit it over the sunvisor where the color visors are closest to windshield. slide the part over the visor to where it is tight. and you are done. You can fold down the dark one for sunshine or the yellow one for nite driving. Hope this will help you. I couldn't read instructions either.

I live in Florida it does well keeping off leaves and rain. I suppose it would work very well and it would eliminate the need to scrape off your windows.
