With the sun now making a regular appearance here in the UK 🌞🌞🌞, I'm looking at getting some sun shades for the rear passenger seats to protect our 5-month old.

Has anyone had any experience with custom sized shades for the Polestar 2? Carshades.co.uk in the UK appear to be well reviewed, but don't currently do a custom size for the P*2. Alternatively willing to look at off-the-shelf options that have worked well?

As it's a lease, I'm not particularly interested in getting the windows tinted.

I can't seem to find any business that make sun shades for the Polestar here in the UK so I was wondering if any of the Volvo shades would work?

I saw this one for the XC40. What do you all think? I'll email support and see what they suggest.

Sent a message to this company (near Los Angeles, CA) to see if they will add P*2 to their offering - a set of 4 side window "snap-in" shades.

Their FAQ says they do International Shipping.

I got these.

Comes as a set of 2x squares and 2x rectangles that stick on the windows through static cling. Works well and folds up nicely if not needed. Not bad for $10

I kinda got ocd at the thought of different tint shades for the forward and rear windows and liked the level of light in colder and more overcast weather so didn’t want a permanent solution.

Opted for this one as a stop-gap until I can find something better:

Brica by Munchkin Magnetic Stretch -to-Fit Sun Shade, 5 Magnets Attach to Metal Car Window Frame, Maximum UVA/UVB Protection: Amazon.co.uk: Baby

Currently driving a loaner XC40 while the Polestar is back at Bicester for an alloy repair (don't ask!). They work well for the XC40, and hoping for a similar result when the Polestar is back (hopefully tomorrow). Will report back with photos.
Did you get these to work with the Polestar? My car is getting delivered in a month or so, but want to make sure the magnetic approach will work with it before ordering. Thanks!

Carshades.co.uk now sell custom shades for the Polestar 2. I ordered a rear window set, I did not buy the complete set which includes the rear hatchwindow only the 2 rear side doors.

The fit is very good, it covers the window area compleletly and it does not impact the windows from being wound down.


I ordered these in October, so only fitted them for about a week and then took them off to store for next summer.
