How do I tell a 5-seat Qashqai from a 7-seat one?

Stand beside the car and count the side windows behind the driver's door. Two per side is the five-seat body; three per side is the seven-seat body, which was sold here for years as the Dualis+2. Your registration papers will also list the seating capacity.

I ordered the 5-seat set but I have the 7-seat car. What is missing?

The rear quarter windows behind the second row — which is exactly where a third-row passenger sits. The five-seat set covers the four door windows only.

Does this fit a Nissan Dualis?

Yes. Dualis was the Australian name for the Qashqai before the badge changed, and Dualis+2 was the seven-seat version. Match the seat count rather than the badge.

Are car window shades legal in Australia?

Mesh shades on the rear side windows are not an issue anywhere in Australia. Front door shades are cut short so the driver's view and mirrors stay clear, and we recommend taking them off at highway speeds. Rules on obstructing a driver's view are set state by state, so check your own if you are unsure.

Do they work over the factory tint?

Yes. The shade sits in the door frame rather than on the glass, so it goes on top of whatever tint or film the car already has.

Nissan Qashqai Sun Shades

The Qashqai is the one car in the range where it pays to read the listing twice. It was sold in Australia in a five-seat and a seven-seat body — the latter badged Dualis+2 for years — and the two have a different number of side windows behind the driver. The five-seat set covers two side windows per side. Order it for a seven-seat car and the back row rides with bare glass. Check how many seats your car is registered to carry, not how many are folded flat on the day, then pick the matching set.

Why Nissan Qashqai owners choose custom shades

Cut for the body you actually own

Five-seat and seven-seat Qashqais are listed separately because the glass behind the second row is different. Nothing about a universal shade handles that, which is why the third row is the window most often left bare.

The back seat stops cooking

Dense black mesh takes the direct sun off a child seat or a passenger's face and knocks down glare — which is most of what anyone in the back actually notices on a long drive.

Windows still wind down

The shade stays put with the glass lowered and keeps blocking sun, dust and insects. Useful in stop-start traffic or waiting in the school pick-up line.

On and off in seconds

No suction cups to let go on hot glass and no adhesive on the trim, so the set can live in the boot between trips.

Features

100% black polyester mesh

Blocks UV and cuts cabin heat and glare. Clear to see out from inside, harder to see in from outside. Works alongside existing window film, and well enough on its own that you do not need film on the side glass.

Measured on the car, not from a table

Each pattern is taken off an actual Qashqai, produced at the workshop, refitted to the car and adjusted until it passes. Only the finished, fitted car is photographed before the product goes to market.

Buy the pieces you need

Front pair, rear pair or the full door set, from $49.99. The seven-seat set is cut with the rear quarter windows included.

No damage to the door seals

Exact dimensions mean the shades sit in the frame without warping or putting pressure on the rubber seals.

Fitment for your Nissan Qashqai

Two separate patterns. The 5-seat set covers the front and rear door windows. The 7-seat set adds the rear quarter glass behind the second row. Front door shades are cut short so your mirrors, side vision and reach to toll and parking cards stay clear; rear door shades cover the full opening. If you are not sure which body you have, count the side windows behind the driver's door from outside the car.

Covers: Front door windows (driver and passenger), Rear door windows, Rear quarter windows (7-seat body).

Installation

Count the side windows behind the driver's door so you order the right body.
Wipe the door frame so the shade seats cleanly against it.
Hold the panel to the top of the opening and let it find the frame.
Work along the edge so the mesh sits flat with no slack in the middle.
Take the front shades off before highway speeds.
