I usually don't use mine at night except when there's someone behind me driving with their high beams on or a lifted truck that didn't bother to adjust their lights.
I use it sometimes when parked to help keep the interior cool. I also have a kid in a rear facing car seat, so it works wonders at keeping the sun out of his eyes. I find it to be a very worthwhile feature.
Same here. When I park my car and the sun hitting from the back, I have my shade up, even though I have darker tint on the back.
Mine is up most of the time unless the wife is driving it.
They should make it so that when your headlights are on, the shade goes down unless you hit the button to bring it up. These boonies like to drive with hi-beam. The shade helps.
I was unaware of an automatic feature except it dropping when in reverse. What year is your vehicle? Mine is a '14.
Thats what he's referring to. When he says automatic he means that it automatically goes down when in reverse and then a few seconds later it goes back up when in drive.
I keep mine on automatic (up unless in reverse) during the summer months, and down during the rest of the year and I have no tinting. I just passed my 4 yr warranty, but still intend to use it this way; if there was a problem with the system, I think it's likely it would have occurred by now. BTW, I'm in NJ, and usually park in a garage. If I were somewhere in the southwest US, I'd do the same thing, except it would be in auto for 3 months of the year.
My munchkin rides in the back seat occasionally , and it comes in very handy. I don't have tint nor do I want it. I put it down during dark hours. One of my favorite features in the car
Exactly how I use it. My windows are tinted but even with that being in Texas sometimes my daughter needs more protection for the unrelenting sun here.
