    So the Heatshield fits in the window very nicely and works well.

    Kind of silly question, BUT when you aren't using it and roll it up, where are you storing it in your vehicle?

    We just throw it in the back.

    Living in Florida, I like the heat sheild a lot myself, but I find it very difficult to fold back up. So I fold in half and store it in the hatch. I'm not sure why I have a hard time folding it up more considering how it was shipped.

    After a few weeks use I got some creases that let me flatten it out after rolling it up and it wedges b/w the center arm rest and the passenger seat extending forward to the passenger footwell. Easy access, easy to put there, out of the way even with a passenger in the seat.

    I think the velcro strap should be a little longer then it wouldn't be such a chore to roll up

    The front window shield is rolled and stored behind the front seats. The side and rear window shields are layed flat in the rear of the vehicle - either in the storage area underneath, or on top, underneath the pull-back cover.

    That is a great solution -- here I was thinking that I needed to keep the same 'tube' shape when storing.

    The front windshield one is in the garage. The rest are in the lower cargo compartment.

    I don't use any of them. Very disappointed with the design.
