About these VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN 2009-2017 sun shades
Volkswagen Tiguan 2009–2017 Custom-Fit Window Sun Shades | SHADO
Custom-measured magnetic sun shades for the Volkswagen Tiguan (1st-gen 5N, 2009–2017) — a compact 5-door crossover SUV on VW's PQ35 platform, sharing its underpinnings with the Golf yet riding higher. Blocks UV, cuts glare and cabin heat, and keeps rear passengers comfortable without losing your view out.
Why SHADO for your Tiguan?
✅ Measured on an actual Tiguan — the first-gen 5N is a 5-door compact crossover SUV on the PQ35 platform (shared with the Volkswagen Golf), so each pane — including the rear door glass on this 5-seat body — is templated individually for a true, gap-free fit.
✅ Gap-free, seal-safe fit — precise dimensions mean the shade sits flush against the door seal: no warping, no light leaks, no damage to the Volkswagen's seals. Front shades are cut to leave room for the mirror and toll/parking cards.
✅ 100% black polyester UV mesh — blocks UV and reduces glare and cabin heat in the Tiguan's raised compact-SUV cabin, where the higher glass area and rear door glass let in plenty of sun. Already tinted? The shades add real comfort on top. No film yet? The shades alone do the heavy lifting — there's no need to film the side glass.
✅ 5100-Gauss neodymium magnets — grip the Tiguan's steel door frame and hold firm with the window down; quick to snap on and off, no adhesive, no suction cups, no tools.
✅ Suits the raised ride height — the 5N Tiguan's taller stance and SUV glass mean rear passengers still get full coverage; front and rear door windows are templated in full so the whole family gets shade on every trip.
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
Work as described. Magnets stick well to the door frame. Slightly fiddly to get them lined up the first couple times but you get the hang of it quick. Would've been 5 stars but shipping was a bit slow.
Used these on a trip up the coast last week and they were brilliant. 40 degree day and the car stayed reasonable inside. Slap them on and forget about it.
Nothing wrong with the shades, they're fine. But the packaging was pretty average, just a plain bag with no instructions. Had to google how to position them. Got there in the end.
Skeptical at first because I've tried stick on ones that were useless. These actually stay where you put them. Car is way cooler and the kids can actually fall asleep in the back now without the sun in their faces.
Good value for what you get. Had a slight delay with the order, took about 10 days to get to me in Brisbane. Shades work well though, keep the back seat noticeably cooler.
