Just Plane Shades

[Wingover]

Looking for feedback on sun shades for side windows while flying.  Found "Just Plane Shades" company online.  It's a reusable stick and peel type.  Any suggestions for a good product to cut the heat while flying?

I got these auto shades, they have suction cups but I don’t need them, just squeeze them into the window frame.

Do you know the size you got?

“Gila” static cling film.  You can get on Amazon or at autozone. 
it’s about $35 per roll which is almost enough to do the whole plane. 
You can cut it into squares or rectangles, or install like regular tint. 
I actually applied it  on the entire back windows, and carry four or five squares to put wherever I need it, you can double it up when the sun is really bad. 

it doesn’t get in the way like those useless factor visors, and folds away neatly when you don’t need it. 
even if you end up wanting something else you’re only out $35…

I got one. The frame was too stiff and caused it to pop off and it didn’t work on the pilot’s side window because the latch for the storm window is in the way. I kept it in the plane an a trip through Texas and the heat while parked outside softened the glue and the frame slid out if position. I threw it out and used the case to keep a static cling shade in. The zipper on the case is now broken.

Does it really cut the heat?  Is it easy to put on and off?

^^ This is what we use too.  Except we don't have those exotic tiger stripes!

Absolutely, and yes. It’s static cling so the only trouble I’ve ever had is when the oat gets too cold it is harder to make it stick.

No, they’re made for cars, so I assume size is standardized.

I got these from Amazon.  We use two of them on almost every flight.  Lee

+1 for the same ones referred to by Lee above.  After 10 years, however, the little suction cups do not work very well and the shades need to be replaced.  But hey, for $7.00, I got nothing to complain about.

Get this and cut your own perfectly fitting shades.  They already stick to the windows a bit due to static, but if you cut them a little big (1/8" - 1/4") they really stay in place well.  If it's really hot in the summer, I'll fly with my back one's in.

Also recommend Schllc's method, especially for the front windows while flying.  I just keep some extra squares in ziplock bags and stick them where you need them.

Thank you.  I just ordered them.
