I Had ordered the side shades before and they're very good at blocking light, so I decided to get the back windows, the new shades are different hope they do the same blocking effect.

Like all the other VanMade window shade products we've ordered, these two cab side window shades were perfect -- flexible, easy to put up, take down and store. Plus nicely insulated. Great products!

I’m very impressed with the fit and finish of the Vanmade window shades. They look and fit great and highly recommend them. Staff was also very helpful when I called, as I had a custom van build and they made sure I ordered the correct set.

Have had these for a year and love the quality. They keep the cab insulated against the Florida sun and they are also great to keep the cold out when we accidentally find ourselves in cold weather! They fold up neatly and slot behind our dinette in our Ekko.

Shades are awesome. Total black out. Easy to open close and use the screen. They are flush to the wall which adds some additional space versus the factory shades that stick out about an inch. Nice work!

Fit like a glove, not a generic fits all like some of the other makers. Love the fold up retainers, so easy…have the front windshield and cab doors they also fit well…..looking forward to the full cab curtain in the future for my transit .

Well made, lots magnets keeps the shade in place. At first I thought I would prefer a shade with a window opening you could zip open but after using it I think a solid well made thick shade is better to fold open to your desired size. I did add a very magnets to add to a firm hold on the shade, as I have pillows and items that do move against the shade it frequently when my bed is in a folded up.

I bought a full set of shades, vent cover, and cab partition for my 2023 Mercedes Revel. I was impressed with the quality of each item. Everything is constructed very well. The install was a piece of cake. Compared to the stock shades, these are a million times better. They completely block out the daylight, keep the heat out, and keep the van quiet while driving. I highly recommend getting a set.

These shades are awesome. These, combined with their other window covers, insulate my van so well that my heater only kicked on a few times on a 32 degree night.

You guys are great! Your shades are the best we’ve ever seen and your customer support is second to none! The world would be a better place with more companies like yours.

I used the Vancilary brackets in my 2019 Ford Transit 250 to mount a 3/4" birch plywood shelf (using the Vancilary shelf pattern) and put a 5/8" x 2 1/2" oak fascia screwed onto the shelf edge to give it a lip to hold gear in and to provide a flat surface to screw-fasten the heavy-duty Velcro strip supplied with the Van Made Gear cab partition. I purchased the partition model with the handle and heater cutouts. (I have an Eberspacher heater installed under the passenger seat). The partition l...

Great product. Fits perfectly. Color matches beautifully. Have not had extreme heat or cold yet to test insulating properties but is a vast improvement over the flimsy curtain that came with the vehicle.

These shades fill the window and block out the sun perfectly. They offer flexibility and the appropriate amount of insulation. Far superior to the manufacturer’s supplied shades.

I bought these shades for all four windows in my 22GL Travato - remove all the cassette blinds for these zippered shades -- they are a great product - Installation was straight forward - like the look and functionality -- true black covers now... much less noise than the cassettes!

Driver and passenger side shades fit our 2021 Sprinter Van windows perfectly. Magnetics work great and the shades stay up when you open the door.

Thank you for the timely delivery of my front window and driver side (2) shades. This completes my window package on my 04 T1N sprinter project. As an Architect and Builder I want to call out the excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail of these products. Firmness,Commodity,Delight is my critique on everything and these fit the bill. Keep on Truckin Andy

Judy L P.
Straightforward install instructions. Center and screw in the snaps. Extra width so seat back pockets or making more room is built in to the liner w/o pulling it down. Pockets and clips on the crew side for this and that. Insulated to keep the hot/cold on the other side. Same for all the window covers
Sprinter Storyteller - Cab Partition
Natalie S.
I haven't been out on the road yet so I can't speak too much about it right now. I did put the shades up in my driveway to try them out. The shades for the door windows attach easily and offer great coverage. It will take practice with the windshield shade to get it fitted right. I had it stretched too much and light came through the panel seams. All three together though definitely blocked out the light and noticeably blocked out the cold.

The instructions mention leaving access to a power button. Mine is wireless. Maybe change the wording to power button/wireless sensor. Only took a few minutes to correct the install.

Paul H.
Your representative was very helpful. I was in desperate need of it. I didn’t care about the color. She ended up finding one for me right away and got this sent out. We have a carpet cleaning company and this machine heats up to 220° so it’s hard to run the AC without a divider. I’m very happy it worked out perfect and I’ll definitely use you guys again when I get another sprinter van.

Love my new shades! Very well made and the customer service is excellent! I had several questions I needed answered before I ordered the shades and they were all answered within a few hours of sending the email. And once the shades were made I was notified that during the final inspection it was discovered that one of the shades had a slight pucker by the zipper. I was sent photos and offered to either be given half off on that shade or they would be happy to remake it. I opted to take the shad...

This Vanmade roof vent fan cover works so well! It's easy to install, and then just folds out of the way whenever you want to use the fan. It blocks all the light, and really keeps the heat out or in, depending on the season. And Simon went out to the production floor to check and make sure that our item would ship in time for us to receive it before we left for our recent 4000 mile adventure - great customer service! Great products!

Love this fan cover. Really finishes the fan portal off and provides privacy, warmth, and noise reduction. I have it in a Promaster Van covering a MaxAir fan. I hope VanMade Gear will make a Cab Partition for the Promaster soon. I’ll wait for that.

Orry H.
Great product. Very well made. Love that the velcro is screwed to the wall. And best of all, I won't be whacking my elbow on the old cassette frame when I roll over in the bed. In direct sun, the interior side of the shade was warmer than expected, however, it was definitely cooler than the cassette shade. I think they're going to be great in our sleeping space.

I love my new vent cover! The custom slit to accommodate my less common fan knob came out perfect. The material and stitching is great and the magnets are so strong. Thanks so much!

I already have the front window shades that we use for extended stays camping and want to use the front seats swiveled facing back (even tho the partition has roll up panels) but window shades can be a little fussy when trying to be more stealthy for a park and sleep for a few hours or am solo and don’t need the front seats. The Cab partition is literally seconds and you’re in stealth mode and when we are ready to go as fast as you can roll it up it’s stowed away. Another nice thing is with the ...

These side window shades are great! They are very well made and fit perfectly in my Transit van windows. Very easy to install and you can even do it from inside the van.

Our first trip with our new VanMade shades and we love them. First night temp down to 28 and we noticed a big difference in the insulation around the window. Hope they work as well with the sun beating on them in the middle of the summer. Also love the sleeker design, no more bumping up against the frame of the stock shades, and the blackout is greatly improved. Installation was mostly easy, just wish the instructions provided some accurate measurements on exact spacing for the velcro strips. Kn...

The Vanmade shades that we bought for our camper’s side and back windows have performed beautifully for 8 years. When the time came to replace the factory-made windshield shade, we didn’t hesitate to go back to quality and smart design of Vanmade. We are not disappointed and they are so easy to use!

Thomas R.
The front side windows, sliding door and back window shades fit great on my 2024 Transit. The materials and the sewing/joining of all the materials was excellent. Couldn't be happier with these shades. While the front window shade did not align because of change in the mirror foundation design by Ford, the Vanmade Gear team took the time to review my situation so they could understand the reason for mismatch. I would very happily purchase the front window too if they update their design to re...

So easy to put in place. Stays put when opening and closing doors plus no light seepage due to excellent seal!

They arrived on time. The hardest part was just getting off the existing window shades. The installation went well about 15 to 20 minutes per window and I’m surprised how well the insulate I can keep the heater on a lower setting because of your insulated shades. Worth every penny!

I recently received my roof vent fan cover and it was really easy to install. The most difficult part was separating the magnets — they are strong! I won’t be using my van for another month so unable to provide a review yet on performance. Pleased with the cover so far!

The quality and functionality of the product is 10/10. They nightshade completely blacks out the window, adds insulation and so many pockets for all of our items, cell phones, water bottles, books etc. I also really appreciate the customer service of Vanmade gear and the follow-up communication.

Couldn’t be happier! Purchased an earlier version a few years ago that was stolen from my van. Simon was very gracious and plowed back through several years of invoices to find the original invoice so I could submit it to my insurance company. So happy with the original I bought it again. Newer version is even nicer with several thoughtful changes. After several years of experience with the color matched shade I went reflective/black this time around. Even better at helping prevent the van from ...

Fairly easy install, love the quality of the materials, and how it works. The pockets are super helpful. We would certainly recommend this addition to anyone who has a Coachman Beyound 22C. Very happy with the everything including Vanmade Gear.
