Yes, mine sagged slightly away from the horizontal windshield for the beginning months, but funnily enough after my post last week, the thing does not even hold up anymore. It slides out and down from under the visors, so is basically a dashboard cover. Can't get it to stay up, even though it is the "perfect fit" and size of the windshield, it just slides out from under the visors. Too bad because it was great when I first bought it. And yes I do live in hot climate, LA and work in Orange County.

Humm... I would at least call the company and let them know, they may have had a bad lot, or need to make some adjustments.

One thing I thought of is something like kite sticks.. in an X but that would be a mess to install inside the car.

Maybe they could just make the material stiffer or thicker.


Make sure you have it stuck in the sides and corners well.. that seems to give it some stiffeness.

If you call them, maybe they have already thought of something or will help you out.

this is one of the first things i ordered for my new prius... i love the custom fitted windshield shades! this is the third time i've bought custom vs off the shelf.... it does a much better job of keeping the sun/heat out!!

right now i don't even need to put my visors down to hold it in... if it does loosen up eventually... oh well.... your supposed to do the visor thing anyways!

i'm seriously considering getting the rear ones to use when we travel to bike rides to not only keep it cooler in the car while we're out riding... but to add privacy to change out of cycling clothes into street clothes (we have tinted windows but depending on the light you can still see in! )

anyways... thanx for the discount .... AWESOME product!
