TINGLU Window Shades for Subaru Crosstrek 2013-2017 - Full Side & Rear

In this review the TINGLU Window Shades for Subaru Crosstrek 2013-2017 are judged on fit, sun protection and convenience. The kit is targeted at Crosstrek owners who camp, nap in their car, or want to reduce interior heat and UV exposure; its single biggest selling point is the custom fit that requires no trimming and covers all side and rear triangular windows for privacy and light blocking. The review looks at materials, installation, and everyday use to help decide if this 8PCS sun shade kit meets practical needs.

Key Features

• Customized Fit: Each shade is cut to the Subaru Crosstrek 2013-2017 window shapes so they fit the edges precisely without trimming and reduce light leakage compared with generic sizes.
• Sunlight Protection: The double layer heat shield material claims to reduce heat buildup by up to 40F while blocking over 99% of harmful UV rays to protect interior surfaces.
• Full Privacy Coverage: The 8PCS kit provides opaque coverage of side and rear triangular windows to create a private space for camping, napping, or relaxing inside the vehicle.
• Sturdy Construction: Reflective fabric with a metal frame and tight liner resists sagging and wrinkling so shades stay flat against glass and protect dashboards, seats and electronics.
• Easy Install & Storage: Shades pop open and install in seconds, fold down to roughly one tenth of their size and pack into the included pouch or multifunctional storage bag for easy stowage.

Who It's For

The kit is best for Subaru Crosstrek owners from model years 2013 through 2017 who want tailor-made window shades that require no cutting and cover multiple windows for privacy and sun protection. It suits people who use their vehicle for overnight camping, daytime naps, or who need to keep rear passengers and belongings shielded from light and UV.

People who prefer a permanent tint, want shades for other vehicle models, or expect perfect thermal performance in every climate should consider other options; some users report mixed results on heat retention and occasional fit issues with the rear shade when doors are opened.
