Foldable Windshield Sun Shade

You park in the Menlyn open-air lot at 9am. You come back at 1pm. The steering wheel is untouchable. The dashboard is cracking. Your car smells like a furnace. This is South African summer, and it is destroying your interior every single day.

The GearBolt Windshield Sun Shade blocks up to 99% of UV rays and drops interior temperature by up to 30 degrees — protecting your dashboard, seats, and everything left on them while your car sits in the sun.

What SA Summers Actually Do to Your Car

South Africa does not have mild summers. Pretoria, Phoenix, and Port Elizabeth regularly hit 38 to 42 degrees in peak summer — and interior temperatures in a parked car can exceed 70 degrees. That UV exposure is what cracks your dashboard, bleaches your seats, and warps your plastic trim. It is also what overheats your phone when left on the seat. A sun shade is not a luxury in South Africa — it is basic maintenance. The GearBolt Sun Shade pays for itself the first summer you avoid a cracked dashboard or a phone that shut down from overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit my car?
The accordion-fold design is universal — it stretches to cover the windshields of virtually all SA sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs, and bakkies. If you are unsure, measure your windshield width.

How much does it actually cool the interior?
In direct summer sun, a reflective sun shade typically reduces interior temperatures by 20 to 30 degrees Celsius compared to an uncovered windshield.

Does it protect the dashboard permanently?
It prevents ongoing UV damage when used consistently. It cannot reverse existing cracks, but it stops new damage from occurring every time you park in the sun.

How do I store it?
Fold it into the included circular carry pouch — it fits in a door pocket or the boot. Takes under ten seconds.
