it is not designed for outdoor use, but if you just want some protection, it's a lot better than nothing. However, don't cheap out if you have a classic/special car. Get a better cover.

This sunshade will fit nicely around that black box that you have . I have this shade and have that black box which has rain sensor in it. The shade fits perfect. Used it alot so far this summer on my new 2014 Grand Cherokee. I highly recommend its use. Keeps the vehicle cooler, and without the sun on the dash the a/c cools the car faster on a hot day.

Yes. I would highly recommend this product, but buy a color other than black. It's too hot.

So far the strip has performed well. It is barely detectable. I live in Maryland and it certainly does not get as hot here. We are in the high 90's today. My car is parked mostly inside, so it is rarely exposed to longterm heat. For the few times that it has been exposed to sun and heat, I have not noticed any problems.

No. I installed this last spring, and noticed it seems to keep the heat in during winter as well. It also cuts the glare that reflects off the snow. I live in the midwest. We get snow.

May be you can find a spot under the hood of your car. That you can tie a sock to a area that is out of the way of heat and engine area. You should ask someone who brought this product for their vehicle. Check some more of the reviews I did see a few customer who did buy for their vehicle. Good luck with your search.

It's black, but beware--it fades if you leave your car out in the sun quite a bit....and it fades to a browny black....

Temperatures in Michigan can be extreme - is this going to keep the engine from freezing and cracking, maybe? No, only heating the area will, or the proper fluids (antifreeze?) in the engine. Will it keep bugs out? Don't know if anything can :) But, here in Texas it protects the car from bird and spider, etc droppings just fine. I am pleased with the purchase that has served us several months, outdoors, without any signs of "decay." BUT that convertible needs to have the roof on and windows up for storage, of course.

Depends on how close it is to the heat source and what the air temperature is at that location. Try it and check the wires closely for a few days, especially after some serious driving.

I returned mine because I wanted it for my car and it never stayed cool. I'm guessing if you use it in your house it would stay cool but with the heat of the dogs and the sun I really don't think it would work. It's a shame because it sounds like such a great idea. Ya know you can always buy it and try it and if it doesn't work return it. Hope this helps.

It fit my 2012 perfectly...its a great car shade really helps keep the car cooler. I live in the South, and believe me it gets really hot down here!

I have had it on my dash all year. Never a problem. Unless your dash is black and the temp goes over 180 degrees it should be ok.

I use it on my dashboard but rarely have my car parked in prolonged sunlight as I park in a covered parking garage. The Texas heat has not had any affect on it though.

The cover doesn't have any reflective qualities that I can see, therefore I would say it would not keep the heat out. It is great for winter weather though. I've given these covers as gifts and have always received rave compliments on its effectiveness.

With the black shield installed it is a cold air intake. If you ever decide to go front mount intercooler, you will need to remove this shield and it will then be able to suck in the engines heat.

I have a 2011 Nissan Maxima that is crimson black. I use it to help protect the front from bugs here in Florida. It works well.
