TINGLU Window Shades for Subaru Crosstrek 2018-2023 - Full Side & Rear

Our review of the TINGLU Window Shades for Subaru Crosstrek 2018-2023 finds this 8-piece kit is aimed at owners who want near-complete coverage, privacy and measurable temperature relief without trimming or complex installation. The single biggest reason to consider it is the custom-fit design for Crosstrek side and rear windows that pops into place and reduces sunlight while blocking over 99% of UV rays, making it useful for camping, napping and protecting the interior.

Key Features

• Custom fit: Each shade is designed to match the Subaru Crosstrek 2018-2023 window shapes so no trimming is required and light leakage is reduced.
• Sunlight protection: Double-layer heat shield materials are intended to lower interior heat buildup and block over 99% of harmful UV rays to protect upholstery and electronics.
• Privacy coverage: The 8PCS kit provides full side and rear coverage to create an opaque private space for camping or napping inside the vehicle.
• Sturdy construction: Reflective fabric with a strong metal frame and tight liner helps prevent sagging and resists wrinkling for a neater fit.
• Easy install and storage: Shades pop open and install in seconds, fold down to about one tenth of their size and stow in the included pouch or multifunctional bag.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for Subaru Crosstrek owners from model years 2018 through 2023 who want a tailored shade option that fits their windows without modification and offers strong privacy and UV protection. It suits people who use their Crosstrek for camping, daytime naps, or who park frequently in strong sun and want to limit interior aging.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers who need magnetic or clip-mounted shades that remain fixed during door operation, since a minority of users reported rear shades shifting when doors open. Also, buyers seeking an all-weather permanent solution may prefer molded inserts rather than pop-up fabric shades.
