Window shades

Morning all,

I need to get some window shades to protect the little one as the old window shades for the last car only cover about 1/3 of the Discovery 3 windows.

I've seen these https://www.carshades.co.uk/shades-land-ro...-1562.html

Has anyone used then before? Are the any good.

Yes I used them in my D3 when I had it. In fact I still have them hanging in my garage! They are very good. The tailgate ones are a bit fiddly. And don't drive with the windows open as I once did as you can bend the frames. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

Hopefully the windows won't get opened, was that general driving or motorway?

Also what did you think to the rear visibility with them in?

I think I was queuing to leave Center Parcs in France or similar and thought it would be a good idea to open the windows. Once through the queue I headed off forgetting the windows were down. Probably doing no more than 20-30mph when the damage happened.

I don't recall any problems with visibility. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

Definitely best to keep the windows up then, thanks for the info, much appreciated.
