【3COINS】Prevent fading of the rear seat upholstery! I tried UV protection with a suction cup type sunshade

Addressing rear seat fading may be achieved by blocking direct sunlight from the side. While preventing deterioration of the seat fabric, it can be easily folded and stored when not in use, so I decided to give it a try.<

I want to protect it from ultraviolet rays! Seat fading problem

While looking at the back seat of my car, I suddenly realized something. The color of the seat seemed to have faded slightly compared to the deep black it was when I first bought the car.

Although I had been using a sunshade for the windshield, I was completely defenseless against the sunlight coming in from the side windows. I realized that the discoloration of the seats was influenced by that. It was a bit shocking to find out that, despite using a sunshade for the windshield, the ultraviolet rays coming from the side were the cause.

The ultraviolet rays from the side were causing more damage than I thought

Not only the dashboard and front seats but actually the back seat is also a place that is easily affected by direct sunlight. Especially when parked, sunlight enters at the same angle for long periods, making the materials prone to drying out, leading to fading and deterioration, whether it’s leather or fabric.

The countermeasure is to block the ultraviolet rays coming in from the side of the back seat.

I tried the rear seat sunshade

The 3COINS sunshade is easy to install; just insert the suction cup into the grommet and press it against the window. No elaborate procedures are necessary, and it can be set up in a few seconds.

When I actually used it, I could feel that the direct sunlight on the rear seat was softened, and the seat didn't get hot. Additionally, if you stick it on without obstructing the driver's view, it also reduces the light coming in from the side while driving, giving the entire interior a surprisingly calm impression.

I got curious to try it out further and installed it on the window of the third-row seat as well. It seems useful when carrying many family members or friends.

When not in use, it folds up small and fits into the seat pocket, so I only take it out when needed.

The rear seat sunshade is effective for UV protection of my beloved car

Once the seat's color fades, it cannot be reversed. Since it's a car I cherish, I feel that this little UV protection will lead to satisfaction in the future.

I want to think that my valued car, while not undergoing dramatic changes, is still "pretty." The rear seat sunshade is something I wish to protect through the accumulation of such small cares.
