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 MERCEDES GLS 400 sun shades
The Mercedes-Benz GLS 400 is a properly large luxury SUV, and its expansive side windows bring a lot of light — and heat — into the cabin. These custom shades keep rear passengers, child seats and the cabin's leather out of the harshest sun.
Available sets for this model: a front door pair, a rear door pair, and the complete four-piece door kit. Families will get the most from the rear pair, while the four-piece set delivers all-round shade and a cooler cabin whenever the GLS sits parked outdoors.
☑ 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
Tried a bunch of different sun shades over the years and these are easily the least annoying. No suction cups that pop off in the heat, no fiddly straps. Just stick them on and forget about them. Been through a Sydney summer with them now and zero problems.
Solid product, does what you'd want. Took 9 days to get to Perth which isn't terrible but would've been nice to know it'd take that long before ordering. Shades are good quality and the magnets are surprisingly strong.
Bought these for my wife's car and she reckons they're the best thing I've bought in ages. Keeps the kids side of the car shaded and she can actually see out properly which she couldn't with the old cling film ones.
Was a bit sceptical about magnetic ones staying on but no issues so far. Had them through a Melbourne heatwave and some decent wind and they haven't moved. The interior is noticeably less fried when I get in after work.
Pretty happy overall. They do reduce the heat a lot, the car definitely doesn't get as stuffy when it's been parked in the sun. Only thing is the front ones sit slightly proud at one corner on my car but it's minor and doesn't affect anything. Would buy again.
