G J West

Company Description

G J West car sunshades are designed and constructed in Australia for front, rear and side windows of individual models of cars, W4ds and camper vans to provide optimal cooling and protection for the dashboard and interior. Generic sunshades for front windscreens are very difficult to find with the right combination of width and height, particularly for modern cars that have tall windscreens. Ours fit properly, and they have the minimum-sized cutout necessary to fit behind the rear view mirror. They are made from 5mm thick reflective polyethylene foam, providing superior rigidity to the usual bubble foams. The front sunshades are held in place simply by the sunvisors and are quick to install. The rear sunshades use a novel method of magnetic support - no suction caps are required. Side windows use either a magnetic or a press fit. When not in use they fold up neatly and are held together with a Velcro strap. In addition to our range of internal sunshades we have recently started making model-specific external windscreen sunshades, with two styles available. One uses the conventional approach of securing the lower edge of the fabric with the wiper blades, the second has the lower edge extending to the bonnet where it is held there magnetically, providing protection from the sun for the wiper blades as well as cover for the air inlets to help keep out debris. Both designs have magnets at the ends that hold them in position within the door frame while the doors are still open, allowing them to be positioned correctly before closing the doors to secure them.
