This set includes front-door panels — parked use only. Australian road rules don't allow shades on the front driver or passenger windows while you're driving. Fit them when the car is parked, and take them off before you drive. Rear-door and third-row panels are fine to leave on.

About these KIA CERATO / FORTE sun shades
Whether you know it as Cerato or Forte, the Kia Cerato / Forte sun shades are shaped to this popular small Kia — a car that does heavy family and commuter duty, where shading the rear glass keeps child seats cool and cuts glare for back-seat passengers.
The range here includes a front pair, rear pair, full four-door set, and a boot/tailgate shade, along with combinations that add the boot piece to the rear doors or to all four doors. The boot shade suits sun-sensitive cargo; the doors-plus-boot set wraps the whole rear of the car in shade.
☑ Custom-measured on your exact car — Every shade is measured directly on each individual vehicle, then produced at the workshop, fitted to the car, and fine-tuned until it meets standard. Only the finished, fitted car is photographed before the product goes to market — so every product is precise, thanks to a closed-loop, specialised process.
☑ A genuine, gap-free fit — Exact dimensions mean the shades sit flush: clean-looking, with no gaps or warping and no damage to the door seals. Rear-door shades cover the whole door, while front-door shades are cut to leave just enough room to see your mirror, watch the road, and reach toll and parking cards.
☑ 100% black polyester mesh — The mesh blocks UV rays and cuts glare and cabin heat. Already have window film? Add these shades and you're set. No film yet? The shades alone are highly effective — there's no need to film your side windows (film the windscreen if you'd like).
☑ Fast on, fast off — Fitting and removing the shades is quick and simple. Even with the window down, the shade still blocks sun, dust, and insects. Best of all, from inside you can see out clearly, while from outside it is harder to see in.
Shades hold securely in normal driving — we recommend removing them at highway speeds.
Build quality
Round 304 stainless, not flat steel
Most shades are framed with flat steel wire. It corrodes, and its edge works through the mesh at the fold. Ours is round-profile 304 stainless — it doesn't rust, and it doesn't cut the fabric it sits in.



Visibility
See out, without being seen
The mesh is open enough to see through from inside and dense enough to keep the cabin private from outside. Windows still wind down, and air still moves through.

What customers say
Put the tailgate one on and it actually covers well, no weird gaps. Didn't expect much for a universal fit but it sits flat. Got the full kit and use all of them. Would buy again.
Shades are good, blocks enough light and heat to make a difference. Took a star off because shipping was slower than quoted and I needed them before a road trip. Missed the window by a couple days. They turned up fine and the product is solid, just the timing was a letdown.
Had these about 3 weeks now. Build seems decent, stitching is tidy, magnets grip well. Drove from Sydney to Newcastle with the windows cracked and they didn't move. Wasn't sure about spending $80-ish on car shades but having used them daily I'd say it's fair.
My toddler used to scream every time the sun hit her face in the afternoon. Sorted. These block it out properly and she can still see through them fine. Simple product, works.
Good value for what you get. Fitted the rears first and they were perfect, the fronts took a bit of fiddling to get seated properly but got there in the end. Happy with the purchase, just a small thing that they're not quite as quick to position as I'd hoped. Once they're on though they stay on.
