About these MAZDA 3S HATCHBACK (Smile Facelift) 2009-2014 sun shades
The smiling face of the Mazda 3 hatchback (2009–2014) hides a sun-drenched cabin — its big rear hatch glass and door windows welcome plenty of heat, which these fitted shades shut down for rear passengers and parked-car comfort alike.
Beyond front, rear, and full four-piece door sets, this Mazda 3 also offers a boot/tailgate window shade, on its own or bundled with the rear doors or every door window. The boot shade is the one for cargo, prams, and dogs. All pieces follow the 2009–2014 hatch's glass shapes — other Mazda 3 ranges 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
Bought for my wife's car, she reckons they're the best thing I've got for it. Kids stop complaining about the sun, the car's cooler, and she can still wind the rear windows down with them on. Happy wife etc.
Worth every cent. My old ones were the cling-on type and were rubbish. These stay where you put them and actually cover the whole window not just a strip across the middle.
Really happy with how they work, the mesh is thick enough to block proper heat but you can still see through it. Only thing is the front passenger one sits slightly proud at one corner, not enough to fall off or anything just doesn't sit 100% flat. Might be my window trim more than the shade though.
Dead easy to install, basically just line them up and the magnets grab the frame. Took me longer to unwrap them than to put them on. Done a few highway trips now at 110 and nothing's budged.
Shades are genuinely good and I'd give the product itself 5 stars. But the shipping was painfully slow, over two weeks with zero tracking updates after the first notification. Turned up out of the blue. Quality product but the delivery experience let it down.
