Great material and quality but for it to be "custom" I think it should fit perfectly.
Yes I agree it could be tightened up a bit on the sides.
@@HighPriority I've had several of these for different cars. That side fit issue is because they are so rigid. If they are too snug you can't lay it flat and tilt it up against the windshield. Most windshields are wider than the A pillar trim and the Covercraft is hard to maneuver, so they only make them as wide as the trim. It fit great in my old Subaru Outback (very little side gap) but was a huge pain to deploy in my wife's Lexus RX350 (huge side gap). Their design is just not ideal for all window spaces.
@@erice3933 this is great info thank you. I figure they would fit quite similar in all vehicles but it makes sense about the window trim.
@@HighPriorityi got mine today and sane, the gabs on the sides other than that i liked it
@@Blue_Mx007 the quality for me at least makes up for the little bit of gap I have in my truck.
I like the bigger one. I don’t care how it looks no sun getting in is what I want😊
Right lol plus it's like 1/5 of the price
It’s bigger because it’s universal. Universal stuff is always oversized to ensure fit. The other one is custom fit specifically for his vehicle model.
Doesnt look very custom. Its smaller than the area its supposed to be covering. How is that custom? Lol!
@@Hilfiger1 If it's custom fit, they did a lousy job.
Set the cheap one on the outside of the windshield and cut it to size. Perfect custom fit!
The cheaper one was much better! If the custom company cannot even manufacture one that fits properly. When they're charging such a premium they need to go back to the drawing board.
Thanks for your review. You saved me $100 in today's market. Custom should fit like a glove, as stated below.
Well I was using the cheap one for about 2 years and now it is exactly what he said it would do, it's flaking everywhere.. I have to give credit where credit is due.. My mom of 79 years told me to go to the fabric store and get the sunblock fabric that people use in their house.. I laid it over the outside of the windshield and cut it to fit.. Then I sewed a strap on all 4 corners so I could bring it inside the door with a finger loop and pull tight when I push the door shut works great..
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You are trying to make the world a better place and I appreciate it.
Haha thanks. Just trying to help people make a decision one way or the other. Thanks for watching!
He put up the premium one and it was still bright as hell inside lol. If it’s not cut correctly what’s the point? Bigger means it’s gonna cover every inch
Been having the carhartt version for my ram 1500 best investment ever had it for 3 years and still looks new!
Glad I’m not alone here haha. I love mine as well!
78 bucks for smaller coverage and no "noise",it doesn't fit. If it did there would be no light coming though.
Thanks for watching. I guess I have to make concessions somewhere haha.
I like the quality but for $78 dollars it should fit perfectly in my opinion.
I've been using the universal truck/van sun shade for over 10 years - was pretty cheap, shows some wear, but still works great. Not really sure why you are knocking the universal one like its so terrible. The covercraft looks nice, might have a better fit, but its very expensive and I'm not sure it does a better job. As for me, I'd rather the larger universal fit (that can be trimmed) which provides better coverage than the custom fit you reviewed.
Yea I agree, the both do the same thing , block the sun. Glad your universal is working for you. I have had one in the past that ended up totally falling apart. Good idea on tripping to fit, never thought about doing that. Thanks for watching!
Hes knocking it because its crap. You need to treat yourself more often. There are much better options out there for your money.
@Jane Thorson like the custom ones he's probably trying to sell at his shop or whatever. cheap or expensive, it performs exactly the same. save up that extra cash and install better car tints.
Yeah, dude got ripped off
You need the Intro-Tech Ultimate Reflector Sun Shade, I believe thats the best in the market. It fits perfectly snugged on the windshield in my ML350, It's also sub-$50 range
Ah thank you for the tip I will have to check them out!
Thank you for this suggestion
Im thinking of getting one for my 2018 Camaro and i currently use the silver one you showed as the cheap one.
I really like my CC one. I think they look really nice and like how they fold up as well. If you need/want anymore info let me know.
@@HighPriority TY Sir
Custom should fit like a glove. Those big gaps on either side of the windshield would roast me in Arizona.
I had this one in Vegas for multiple years and it seemed to do well.
What maders is which one holds the heat better. I think none do ! We have to customize it .
I think the covercraft is crap for $78. (They have raised the price to $99 now.) The WeatherTech sunshade is a better fit for $55 and the HeatShieldStore is a better fit for $50. Plus both of those have options for a full vehicle kit.
I have a cover craft and do like it better than the cheap ones . But I do wish they’d fill in the gaps. My wife hates it because it takes up to much room she likes the cheap round ones
Great review bro Great job 🤙
Thank you I really appreciate it!
Do they ship & post worldwide? I live in the (UK) United Kingdom & would love to purchase something like this, it simply oozes quality & build too⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, p.s. full marks to your video, it’s clear, precise, informative & sharp video quality also, keep up the good work⭐️
Wow I love your comment, thank you so much! I just try and help people one way or the other so I appreciate the kind words. You may be able to order straight from www.covercraft.com for international, they have a great FAQ section that’s too long to post here.
Weathertech makes nice sun shades with no gaps. I just bought a cover craft brand for my wife's car because it was cheaper. I got the weathertech in my truck
I might look for this, im nt fan of the foldable ones where they eventually flake.
Lets it in a lot of light and likely heat. Easier to install but for that price its letting a lot of light in even through the folds.
True, I does let in a bit more light than the cheap brand but it is so much nicer to deal with haha.
My review is not on the cover craft quality it's on the poor customer service that you receive. I ordered a windshield shade for a 2021 Ford E350. It's a box van. There is no rear view mirror. However I ended up with a 1 ft square hole in the middle of my window shade. I called covercraft and they tell me I ordered the wrong one. I went back to the website and there are no options for with or without the mirror or box fan or regular van. Because the order was within 30 days they accepted it back. But I had to pay $26 in shipping plus 15% restocking. It cost me $36 to try to do business with these people. Customer service gets no stars from me. yes it sucks.
I have the premium level of the non custom and it is much better then deluxe and felt lined with a black sun absorbing backside for the winter I can flip around.
Nice! is that a Covercraft brand as well?
@@HighPriority ill have to check the brand today when I am down in the SUV!
i think the cheep one fits much better. but looks much worse.
Haha yes it blocks more light that is for sure. Looks a little like dodo though. Maybe if I found a different sized cheap on it may fit better.
The premium is much better performance. The reasons come down to sciences which aren't so obvious...it's not as simple as blocking the sunlight.
The premium being slightly undersized is an advantage because that allows it to be fit more directly against the glass with fewer gaps. Compare to the cheaper universal: its fitment is such that there are lots of large voids between it and the glass.
That's important. The infrared energy in sunlight gets converted to heat when it passes through glass and thusly refracted. Not all IR energy is of the type we don't want in a vehicle, until the refraction of the glass converts it into such.
Both shades are behind the glass, inside the vehicle. So in both cases, the sunlight passes through the glass and transforms into unwanted heat. The shades reflect that heat back towards the glass; but since that heat is no longer the higher frequency IR energy that it originated from, the glass is able to act as an insulator by reflecting it back inward. The premium shade fits closer against the glass. So with minimal void, more of that lower frequency heat can escape. The larger the voids, the more heat gets reflected back inward off the glass. So the lower value shade is far less efficient for that reason.
The amount of heat reflected back out of the vehicle is a net positive over the amount which slips past the edges in the gaps of the premium shade. So even though there's less coverage than the oversized cheaper shade, the efficiency is far greater due to the better fitment against the glass.
All of that said...
An even cheaper alternative with far greater effect: Buy a store-brand white bedsheet from Walmart or Costco. Large enough to drape over all cabin windows, but cheap enough to not be upset over loss or theft. Toss that over the OUTSIDE of the vehicle, and maybe tuck into door jambs to prevent the breeze from creating openings.
The sheet will block the high frequency IR from passing through the glass to begin with. The relative little bit that does penetrate will be low enough frequency so that the glass can in turn reflect it back up. Only a fractional amount will enter the cab.
Also, the sheet will limit the amount of IR absorbed by the metal parts: roof, b-pillars, etc... So you get additional protection in those areas.
Came to a review… ended up with a physics lesson. Impressive comment! Thanks for the knowledge
Thank you for the information and knowledge, that’s awesome!
As for the bed sheet idea…. And when it’s raining ☔️ then you have a mess to haul into your car. Ditto for bird poo
@@kiterway3592 Just tie it to your bumper and let it air dry as you drive. Ha!
I bought a covercraft specifically made for my civic 2019 and it felt like it was made for a different car entitely 😅
Well damn that’s odd. I think this one fits pretty well and tight enough for this truck, any tighter and it would be difficult to get out.
Over time, the cover craft also flakes at the folds.
Cover Craft is made nice but WAY too much space around ends - totally unnecessary. Around the mirror is acceptable and easy to deal with if it bothers you but the short ends is inexcusable.
Just by the one made by Dickies perfect one tbh
Too big (blocking more sun) is better than too small (blocking not enough) also they sell the universal one at the dollar store.
Good to know about the dollar store thanks!
Where did you get the dash cover from? TIA!
To be honest the cheap one fits way better and I used the cheap one for years it worked perfectly and I lived in Texas
No falling apart? Good to know maybe they make them better these days.
@@HighPriority yea as of right now it hasn’t fallen apart yet.
I think I’ll just get the universal one that’s larger and just cut it down to size for a perfect fit all around. As far how long it lasts, well I can get 4 cheap ones for the price of one custom one. If I get about 3 years out of each that will be 12 years or the average time someone normally keeps the same vehicle. I’m sure if you bought the more expensive custom one you would have to change it out at least once in that 12 years, so there is your savings.
Haha well I hope I helped you make a decision one way or the other.
The cheaper one has better coverage. I read many reviews on the CoverCraft. Too many gaps, especially around the rear view mirror. Does not seem worth it for 5 times as much money! For my Tundra they are 100.00. No thank you! Appreciate your review though!
Custom one looks nice but it's not a perfect fit.
...Yep ...Save 60 bucks and get The Larger One ... makes one wonder why they gave the small one away!
All right compare +\-
Its big
Its soft and cant fit
It covers more
Its cheap (it will hold up at least 2-3 years)
vs
look good
Covers less
Cost 4 times more
Could hold up 4,5,6 years
Haha I could have made this a 30’second video. Thanks for your input and for watching.
I agree Im not paying a premium for a poor fitting "custom" product. It just needs to fit better and cover the sides otherwise I will buy the cheap one and cut it myself
I should have cut the cheaper one and tied that but wanted to return it 😆.
@@HighPriority All good you saved me a hundo anyways. Im also not a fan of flipping my visors up and down everytime as it will wear them out. Eventually they will want to sag or flop down. I bought one of those sunshades that has the thin metal bands and spings open like a pop up tent. I was thinking of getting something better for the new truck but after this I think the spring open model might be superior. I dont need to mess with the visors and it folds up easy once you get the motion down and it covers way more surface area then the custom model.
@@lgbfjbsupporter5566 I appreciate you input and I bet other as well and thanks for watching.
Dude don’t over exagérate… trying to over sell the custom sunshade
Haha sorry, maybe I was a bit.
very good but $80 for a sun shade
Weathertech makes custom fit ones that actually fit... lol cover craft is only good for car covers
your bias
yeah to small for your truck. Those beams of light will burn into the dash ect over time
The cheap one is way better lol it blocks more sunlight
Yea it does cover a lot more area.
$78 and it doesn’t even fit properly. I think the universal one is better.
that custom one was NOT custom... did not fit at all... when you get a custom one, there should be NO gaps at all..... so much light was streaming into your car. Better to use the universal cheap one...
Good points thank you for watching. I think it could be tightened up a bit on the sides for sure.
The cover craft wasn't great for the money. The purpose is to stop the sun from getting in and it doesn't do that as well as the universal one. The universal one does the job and it's like 400% cheaper. It's the universal one for me. I don't care about looks. I care about function.
Dude totally made the first one look like shit by doing a poor job installing it 😂
Scissors ✂️
I think that cheap one would look a little janky if it was “cut to fit” 😆. But I’m also not too steady with scissors haha.
I'd rather have the shade that covers ALL the areas where the hot sun can get inside the car. Poor job @CoverCraft
it doesn't fit half as good as the cheap one.
Respectfully, this was a useless comparison.
A sunshade is bought to limit the internal car temperatures. Essentially, all you do is go over how they look, not how they perform. I would use a sunshade that says "I bathe in poo daily" if it kept my car interior cooler than the alternatives.
I really want a CC shade for all the reason you said...they seem superior. But without internal car temps being measured, there is no way to know.
Well the custom one was a waste of money
Haha well I hope I helped you make the decision either way!
WAY OVER PRICED! Falls out of windows.
Over priced, and doesn't even fit as a custom one should!
The "cheap" $18.00 one WAAAY out preformed the "fancy" $87.00 one!!...By FAR!!....
Funny how money makes you say BIASED false information.
A 👎on this video!..
😆you crack me up Joe! That’s what’s great about opinions, we all have one! I hope my review helped you save some money then, cheers Joe 👍
@@HighPriority well what can I say? LOL..
Gotta love America 🇺🇸 ❤️ 👍
That shit is wack 😂
Haha thanks!!
Soooooo, let it sit in your car doing its job only to find out it gets so hot that it burns yours hands trying to fold it up.
Haha mine has never gotten that hot even in Vegas summer heat but it would be warm.
@High Priority I used mine for the first time in the Texas heat. It was extremely hot to the touch. Maybe you are not removing yours in the hot part of the day. I don't get it at all.
@@Biggerbyte possible. Put it up at 8 am. Pull it down 5-5:30p.
@@HighPriority I bet that is it. Go out to your vehicle in the hottest part of the day... OUCH
@@Biggerbyte I’ll definitely test it out in the hottest part of the day haha. I should have done a test here and measured temp. Maybe in a short I will
Its called an ad -_-
I got this given to me and enjoy it more than the cheaper varieties out there. Is there some “space” on the sides? Yes. Do I think it performs better than the cheaper ones? No. Do I think it’s better quality? Yes. Would I buy the CC for my next vehicle? Yes. 👍
