Is anyone using one of these?
I purchased one and am not too thrilled with the install design. To connect the shade to the second row is very easy and well thought out (uses a bungee type band that slips around the head rests) and the connection to the rear has a specific hook to attach to the side wall. However, to connect the sides of the shade you have to put 4 little hooks between the side panel and the side window. This might sound easy but is a bit tricky and pull on the side panel. I would imagine this would cause the side panel to bend over time.
Also, you cannot use the third row when the shade is on since it connects to the second row headrest. I think I'm going to take it back and just buy a black blanket to cover my belongings.
Ford could find a much better way to improve on this option IMO.
