I would buy this product again
by Shelby from Tucson AZ USA
Pros: keeps the interior of the plane cool, protects the seats
Cons: At first was easy to install after awhile they are a little harder to work but I may not be doing it correctly too.
Review: I love these shields, I highly recommend them to anyone.

Cooler and less expensive than a new interior
by Bob from Palmdale CA USA
Pros: Much cooler inside with the shields installed.
Cons: A bit bulky when you'd rather carry luggage
Review: Sun shields are a definite must for aircraft stored outside here in the desert. No brand of shield will last forever in this sun, but $200 for Kennons every 4-5 years is a minor expense compared to new interiors. Installation is easy but rather than roll them up, I usually just lay them flat on the 172's rear storage shelf. The little retention tabs on the aft window shields slip under the trim easier if you first put a slight bevel on the square edges with a razor blade.

Very cool...in several ways
by Suzan from Van Nuys, CA USA
Pros: Fits windows perfectly & is easy to install and remove. Very effective at keeping the cockpit cool.
Cons: A bit bulky to store while we're flying, but worth the slight inconvenience.
Review: Easy to use...keeps the 172 cool. I would definitely recommend the Kennon Sun Shield!

Great, except for the rear window shield
by Mandy from Baton Rouge LA USA
Pros: Works well, Keeps plane cool
Cons: Rear shield won't stay in window
Review: I think this is a great product. The shields are a little awkward to get in and out at first, but are fine once you get used to them. The shields do a good job of keeping the plane cool. The only problem is that the rear window shield isn't staying anymore. It seems a touch too small for the window and keeps falling out. I will be contacting the company to see if this can be remedied.

Definitely a winner
by Sue Ann from Pleasanton TX USA
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Lots of pieces
Review: I had no idea it would be a separate shield for each window and they all fit perfectly. We will probably use the front sets mostly, but it's nice to have the option. Thank goodness for the labels for each window!

by Casper J from Fayetteville NC USA
Pros: Protection from sunrays and keeping inside cool
Cons: Getting them to fit properly.
Review: I like that it not only block the harmful sunrays, but blocks visual view of the equipment within the aircraft. The front shields are a little hard to get in. To me that's the small price I'm willing to pay to protect my investment.

by Fred A from Sandia Park NM USA
Pros: Good material, good design
Review: Arrived on time and undamaged. Pretty much meets expectations. A little hard to fit in my aircraft windows, until it molds itself to window shapes. Otherwise, seems to work well. Haven't seen anything growing in the aircraft, so must be keeping sunshine out.

Couldn't be any happier with this purchase!
by Michael from Torrance CA USA
Pros: Fit perfectly. High quality sun shade that is light weight.
Cons: A little difficult getting the two piece shade in, on the front wind screen.
Review: Overall, couldn't be any happier. I parked my C-182 in the Calif desert and when I came back to the A/C, it was surprising cool, what a nice change! The pieces are all marked, so you know where each shade goes for each window. The shade is of high quality material and it works very well. It takes a little bit of time to get all the pieces in but it is worth it when you come back to the A/C and it is cool inside!

PRETTY MUCH AS ADVERTISED
by James Richard Ungar from Truckee, CA
Pros: Works as advertised; easy to install
Cons: Not all window sections secure as well as would be ideal
Review: THe Kennon Sun Shield was custom made for my Comanche 250 and thus all window covers are cut to comform to the available window space on the aircraft. In general the fit is good and held in place by plastic friction tabs. With six separate sections (two for right and left sides of windshield) all hold in place well, except for the co-pilot window that just doesn't want to seat properly. It does stay put, but it requires some extra maneuvering to get it right. The aircraft spends a lot of time in Central California where the daytime temperatures frequently hit triple digits. The sun shields are excellent and keep the interior cool enough so that you can enter the aircraft in mid-day and still feel comfortable in the closed cockpit space.

Review: These shields work very well. The interior of my aircraft stays cool even in the 100 degree heat of Sacramento. I had a bit of trouble putting them on the first time - assuming the tabs fit between window and frame. In reality, they fit over the frames, keeping the shields in place.

product fits to a tee
by Harold from Petersburg VA
Review: The window shields I purchased for my PA28-181 work great they fit in each window without velco and reduce heat greatly in the plane for those out of town trips when the plane is no hangered.
