About these MAZDA 3S (Smile Facelift) 2009-2014 sun shades
The cheerful facelift grille gave it the nickname, and Mazda 3S (Smile Facelift, 2009–2014) sun shades give this popular small Mazda what it lacks in the back: relief from side sun for rear passengers sitting tight against the glass.
The range spans a front pair, rear pair and four-piece set, plus a boot/tailgate window shade offered on its own or bundled with the rear or all four doors. The rear-plus-boot combination is a favourite for young families. Shades are patterned for the 2009–2014 shape; other Mazda3 generations 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.

What customers say
Got these for my wife's car and she reckons they're the best thing. The baby was getting sun in her face every afternoon and now she actually falls asleep in the car instead of screaming. Magnets are strong, mesh lets air through. No brainer really.
Product is good no dramas with the shades, they fit well and block the sun fine. But I paid for express shipping and it still took 8 business days. Not happy about that. If you're not in a rush the shades themselves are worth it.
Best car accessory I've bought in ages. The back of the car used to be like an oven, now it's bearable. Easy to put on, took longer to open the packet than to fit them.
Was a bit skeptical about magnetic ones staying on but no issues. Put them on, done a few hundred kays since, all still sitting exactly where I put them. Keeps the afternoon sun off the passenger side nicely.
Solid product. Good fit around the windows and the magnets hold firm. Slight delay in dispatch, ordered on a Tuesday and they didn't send it till the following Monday, but arrived quick after that. Shades themselves are top notch.
