2009-2012 Honda Fit INTRO-TECH Sunshade Review
I like the Honda Fit INTRO-TECH Sunshade very much. I bought it for my 2013 model and it fits fine, so don't be misled by the product title, which when I bought it was described as "2009-2012." In fact, it even says "09-13" on the product's box itself.
The sunshade is in a roll and you install it very easily by just unrolling it. I thought this might be kind of cumbersome, but it isn't. It is pretty flexible in the direction it is rolled in. Plus, you have a large "staging area" on the top of the dashboard, so you unroll it there and then just move it up to the windshield and pull the visors down to hold it in place. It has a slot to fit around the mirror. At first it seemed that you might have to bend the sunshade a lot to get it around the mirror, but after some experimentation I found that you can tilt it left and right and get it around the mirror with little or no bending at all.
It does tend to move out a little (maybe an inch or 2) away from the windshield at the lower left and right corners - the areas the farthest from the anchoring visors at the top. However, I think over time this will improve with use, and it is still blocking the sun from coming in there even if not perfectly tight against the glass.
It is very light and rolls up into a pretty small roll. Of course it is pretty long, since it covers the entire windshield. It does fit onto the rear cargo cover (if you have one installed), although of course it blocks some of your view out the rear window in this position. The best place to store it seems to be under the rear seat. It tucks up out of the way there and does not obstruct your heels sitting in the back seat.
I read some reviews of an alternate sunshade, the Heatshield Brand with the triangular side-window covers. Some complain about it being cumbersome and unwieldy. I bought the Intro-Tech sunshade instead because I thought that those added side panels would just make things more cumbersome, and I think I was correct. The Intro-Tech is really easy to put up and take down.
I cannot speak to how effective it is yet because it is only April. However, it seems that it will work much like any other such puffy reflective shield, and being a perfect fit should be pretty effective.
Edit:
I actually used it for real (as opposed to just trying it out in the garage) today. I still don't have the hang of getting it around the mirror easily and had to bend it some. I think eventually it will acquire some minor bent areas around the mirror area and will just go on more easily.
The only other issue I had is when I took it down, sitting in the driver's seat and then rolling it up (on top of the dashboard), I was unable to roll it tight enough to get the velcro strap to fit around it. So I just reached back and placed it on the floor of the backseat and then rolled it up better when I got home. In other words, it is a little awkward to deal with while it is on top of the dashboard.
Although it still isn't hot enough here to really judge its effectiveness, the sun was beating down on the windshield for much of the afternoon with the sunshade on, the temp was about 70 degrees, and I left the side windows open a crack. The car stayed relatively cool like that. I noticed that the car heated up very quickly after I took the shade down from the windshield. So it seems pretty effective.
07/15/13 Edit
I have used this shade for a while now, so I am adding to my review. I can now install it and take it down in less than a minute. I can even roll it up while on top of the dashboard and secure it in a pretty tight roll using a short Velcro strip that I leave attached to the existing strap to lengthen it some.
The shade did develop a slight crease on both sides of the mirror and that makes it easy to get around the mirror and doesn't at all affect its coverage.
I have now used it in very hot weather, with the car sitting for over 3 hours in direct sunlight in 90 degree heat, with just the side windows open a crack. It absolutely helps a lot. The dashboard stays relatively cool to the touch, and most importantly the steering wheel, which as you may have experienced can get VERY hot without such a cover. Of course the interior still gets real hot, but nothing like how it would be without it. So I don't really see any reason at all not to get one of these.
