Car umbrella sun protection, not a good idea finally ?

[salsajapan]

Hi, few months, years ago it seemed trendy to use a car umbrella to protect from the sun, but I hardly see them now, so maybe it was not a good idea finally ?

have you tried these cars umbrellas ?

Only while driving

1 upside & 500 potential downsides.

What's not to like?

I had one but was simply too lazy to put it up and down. Also it only really worked if I was parked in the open. You can't really put it up in a normal carpark unless you have a raised vehicle. In the end I chose to get better tints and clean the Aircon system.

I likes the ones for motorcycles.

I had the best car shade system—even while driving.  Car topping a boat larger than your car or truck sure to keep the sunshine away.  Adds flotation too, in case you fall into the wet stuff.

I've never seen one. It looks handy for thieves.
