About these KIA CERATO HATCHBACK sun shades
Kia Cerato hatchback sun shades are shaped for the hatch body of Kia's small car, where the sloping rear side glass sits close to back-seat passengers — a child seat back there gets direct sun for much of the day.
The Cerato hatch is offered with a front door pair, a rear door pair, or the four-piece set covering both rows. Families usually start with the rear pair; the full set is the better pick for keeping the whole cabin cooler when the car lives outside.
☑ 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
Bought these for my hatch and they cover the windows well. The rear ones are a good size, covers most of the glass so the baby seat isn't in full sun. Magnetic edge means no adhesive residue to clean off later which is what I wanted. Did the job on a 6 hour drive to Melbourne no worries.
Really good at blocking the sun and they stay on properly. Only minor thing is they came in a pretty flimsy bag rather than a box so the corner was a bit creased. Doesn't affect how they work at all though. Would get them again.
Second set I've bought, first ones went on my partner's car. They just work. Stick them on in the morning, pull them off at night if you want, or just leave them on. Magnets are strong. The mesh does a good job of blocking the glare without making it too dark to see out of.
Honestly the shades are great and I've got no problem with them at all. But it took 2 and a half weeks to get here and I had to email to find out where they were. Got a reply and they turned up a couple days later but the whole thing was a bit of a pain. Product gets 5 stars, delivery gets 1.
Looks neat from the outside, not all bulky and obvious like some of the ones I've seen. Fits close to the glass so it doesn't rattle around. Happy with the purchase.
