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 / K3 2015-2018 sun shades
Daily-driver duty is where the Kia Cerato (2015–2018) sun shades shine — school runs, commutes and parked hours in open car parks all heat this small car quickly, and shading the glass protects rear passengers and keeps child-seat buckles from getting scorching hot.
Sets for this Cerato include a front pair, rear pair, all four doors and a shade for the rear boot glass, plus combination kits adding the boot piece to the rear or full door sets. The rear pair suits young families; the boot shade helps keep cargo cool. All pieces fit the 2015–2018 generation's windows — other Cerato years are listed separately.
☑ 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.

Reviews
What customers say
Living in Darwin, anything that cuts the heat is welcome. These knock a decent chunk off the interior temp and I don't get in and immediately burn my hands on everything.
Solid shades, do the job well. Would've been 5 stars but the box they came in was half open and soaked through, looked like it'd been left in the rain on my doorstep. Shades were dry inside the plastic at least. Courier's fault, not the seller's.
Been using them daily for about two months. Still on tight, no sagging. The front ones are a good size, fills the window nicely with just a tiny bit at the bottom that doesn't quite reach but it doesn't let much light in.
Chucked these on before a road trip to the coast and they made a massive difference. Kids actually fell asleep in the back instead of whinging about the sun in their eyes the whole way.
Shades are honestly great, proper fit and they stay on. The wait was the problem. Ordered early December, figured I'd have them for the holiday drive, didn't arrive till after we got back in January. Nothing wrong with the product, just a frustrating delivery experience.
