Made to order — cut and fitted for your car, ready to ship in 1–3 weeks.
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 MAZDA CX-5 2012-2017 sun shades
The first-generation Mazda CX-5 (2012–2017) remains one of Australia's favourite family SUVs, and its second row and cargo area both feel the sun through all that glass. Fitted shades keep rear passengers and child seats comfortable, cut driver-distracting glare, and shield whatever's in the boot from heat.
Choose from front, rear and four-piece door window sets, a boot/tailgate shade, or bundles combining the rear doors or all doors with the boot. Dog owners tend to grab the tailgate piece. All shades match the 2012–2017 generation's windows; later CX-5s 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.
About the MAZDA CX-5 2012-2017 Fit
First-generation (KE) CX-5s from 2012–2017 are everywhere on Australian roads as reliable used family SUVs, and most have done years of school runs without any sun protection in the back. This set is patterned to the KE's rear door glass — a different shape to the later KF — so it covers the full window and grips the steel door frame magnetically, no suction cups involved.
Best for
- Used family SUV refresh
- Grandparents' car for the grandkids
- Second car on school-run duty
MAZDA CX-5 2012-2017 questions
- How do I know my CX-5 is the 2012–2017 shape?
- Check the build year on your build plate or rego papers. If your car was built between 2012 and early 2017, it's the first-generation KE and this is the correct set. From mid-2017 onward you'll want the CX-5 2017–2026 version instead.
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
Grabbed the front and rear set. Was a bit sceptical about universal fit but they mould to the shape fine. Magnets are strong. Kids can watch their tablets in the back now without the glare. Simple product that does its job.
Good shades, fit well and block the sun nicely. Delivery was a touch slow, about 8 business days to regional VIC, but not a huge deal. Product does exactly what it says.
Put these on for a road trip to Sydney and they were brilliant. Back seat passengers actually commented on how much cooler it was. Took them off when we got there and back on for the drive home, no fuss either way.
Shades are great quality and fit fine. No complaints there. Only giving 3 because of the wait. Ordered mid December, didn't arrive until well into January. I know it was a busy period but communication could've been better. Product is good though, can't stress that enough.
After a Brisbane summer with these I can say they hold up. Heat, humidity, storms, still stuck on and still doing their job. No fading or warping. Worth the money.
