I would definitely buy this product again
by Ron from Cypress TX USA
Pros: Sheilds fit the windows great. No velcro or straps
Cons: Can't think of any
Review: Sun Shields fit the windows of my Cherokee 6 perfectly and are well marked for the window placement so there is no guessing where or what window each shield goes. They are a great help in protecting the interior of my aircraft.

"Very impressed"
by Kimberly from North Palm Beach FL USA
Pros: well made, fit perfect,, keeps a/c very cool inside,
Cons: none
Review: After unloading our Aztec in the Bahamas for a long weekend I pulled out our Kennon Sun Shield for the first time. The labels on each panel made it easy to install. The shades went in place with ease and stayed in place. Much easier than putting on the old canvas outside cover (and better on the windshield and windows,less scratching with the salt and sand). Returning to the plane, it was just as easy removing the shades and putting them back in the bag, very light and compact, and surprised how cool the inside of plane was.

Great product but hard to stay in place on a Cessna 350/400
by Greg from Big Pine Key FL USA
Pros: Effectiveness as advertised. Cool and UV protection.
Cons: Friction fit.
Review: Love the product but the pilot and co-pilot side window panels often do not stay in place. I plan to contact the company in the next week and see what we can do to sort this out. The problem is with the shape of the window sides in the plane. There is almost no area for the edging to grip for the friction fit.

by Shelby from Tucson AZ USA

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.
