    Mine arrived today via UPS ground. The tracking number shows a ship date of 4/22. I live an 1 1/2 hours away so mine would take the minimum 3 days.

    Now I need to order the 2 rears that I did not get.

    Danny --
    Foxfire informs me that the your security certificate expired a week ago. Will order a HeatShield for my new Prius as soon as the certificate is restored!
    Thank you for this site!

    (Apologies for posting this to the whole forum, but I couldn't readily find a contact address and my work timeclock won't wait for me to do any more searching!)

    I've got the same problems. Three expired certificate alerts for Mozilla. And I'm still having problems logging in to the shop. I need to order the two rear windows now. (Why couldn't they just make the front and rear windows a set so there was no confusion?)

    I just wanted to note... I ordered a front HeatShield on April 12 and paid $30 total (including shipping and handling). I chose to pay by check because I didn't feel like paying with PayPal. I mailed my check to Danny shortly after I ordered; on April 26 I received a confirmation of shipping from CanvasWorks and today the HeatShield arrived via UPS. All in all, a painless experience. Just wanted to say thanks to Danny for organizing the discount and handling the orders, especially when PriusChat doesn't get much out of it.

    I'd like to order the windshield heat deflector for my '05 but the shopping cart says I'm not registered. Can you help?

    Paul,
    I think you have to register separately for the Prius store (at least, that's what I did).

    Only for a few weeks. I haven't used it all that much because (1) during the week, I only get to drive the Prius like 2 days because my boyfriend has a longer commute than I do and takes possession of it (2) I have covered parking at home and at work and (3) it has been a bit overcast here in Austin (it's time for the smoke from the agricultural fires to drift our way). However, when I have used it, I have found it easier to unroll and re-roll than I thought it would be. It fits the winshield perfectly, and barely needs the visors to hold it in place. Who knows how much cooler it will keep the car when summer really hits, but this is Texas after all :). I'm sure it will do as good a job as any other sun shield.

    I inadvertently ordered it direct after looking up the info. I have asked them to cancel and then I'll order it thru Prius chat.

    Thanks for the info

    I've been using the heat shield for a few months now (after winning via a PriusChat giveaway - thanks!). I've noticed the strap adhesive doesn't tolerate Arizona heat very well, and has started to "Give".

    I've solved the problem temporarily by stapling the strap at the edge to keep it from sliding further.

    The problem exaserbates when after taking the shade down on a hot day, I pull the strap to secure the rolled shade, and the strap seems to give.

    Just an FYI. Otherwise, it makes a HUGE difference. I wouldn't mind eventually getting side/rear shades as well - that or tinting my windows :)

    Rick -

    Feel free to contact CanvasWorks directly - they offer a warranty on their products and have been very responsive in the past to customer inquiries.

    Got the information that your "certificate has expired." Now what?

    All Security problems should be fixed now. No financially sensitive data is being transmitted via our server, it is all being handled by PayPal, so I've taken the site off of the Secure link.

    Same with me in California, after a week only; I noticed that the adhesive moved roughly 1/8 of an inch. I'll do the "stapling" as well...

    Also, maybe it's just mine, but after putting it up on the windshield for about 2 weeks , it started buckling a bit at the center maybe an inch or so; it does not touch the window ever so snugly as it did when it was new.

    Nevertheless, it does make quite a difference on a sunny day.

    Danny,

    I have tried using your link to buy FULL set of Heatshields but the order keeps showing Heatshield only ($30 - NOT $28). Sideshades and Rearshade are not added to the Full Package.

    Do i have to order the 3 items separately?

    Thanks in advance, 1oakprius

    I don't like PayPal. A friend of mine has been in hot dispute with them for a double charge for a good while. When I ordered armrests from Robin, they sent me correspondence asking me to pay again. Robin said there was a problem she was trying to straighten out. They may make products some day that are so desireable that I would go through PayPal to get them, but I don't really believe they will.

    New Millenium Silver Prius owner here.. Anyone know if the discount deals are still on for the heatshield/sunshades that I read in this list about. Sales seemed to end in June of 2004. Also, are there any pictures of Prius's with the side and rear sun shades affixed? I'd like to see what they look like.. Combined shipping possible?

    I placed a paypal order for the front heatshield on May 11th and other than the paypal confirmation that [email protected] got the money, I haven't heard a single thing (no confirmation email, no heatshield). Anyone know if there is a systemic problem or should I just contact Canvasworks (or priuschat)?
