WeatherTech Sunshade Window Shade User Manual

Introduction

The WeatherTech Sunshade is a custom-fit window shade designed to protect your vehicle's interior from harmful UV rays and extreme temperatures. Its dual-purpose design helps keep vehicles cool in the summer by reflecting sunlight, and in the winter, it helps warm up interiors and avert frost build-up by absorbing heat. This manual provides instructions for the proper setup, operation, and care of your WeatherTech Sunshade.

Setup and Installation

The WeatherTech Sunshade is custom-fit for specific vehicle models, ensuring a snug and secure fit. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Unroll the Sunshade: Carefully unroll the sunshade. It may be rolled tightly for storage.
2. Position in Windshield: Place the sunshade against the inside of your vehicle's front windshield. Ensure the reflective side faces outwards to reflect sunlight during summer, or the dark side faces outwards to absorb heat during winter.
3. Secure with Visors: Lower your vehicle's sun visors to hold the sunshade firmly in place against the windshield. The custom fit should allow for minimal gaps.

Operating Instructions

The WeatherTech Sunshade is designed for year-round use:

• Summer Use: Position the silver reflective side facing outwards. This reflects sunlight and heat away from your vehicle's interior, helping to keep it cooler.
• Winter Use: Position the dark side facing outwards. This side is designed to absorb heat, which can help warm up the interior and prevent frost build-up on the windshield.

When not in use, the Sunshade can be easily rolled up and secured with its integrated hook and loop strap system for compact storage.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your WeatherTech Sunshade, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the sunshade clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the material.
• Drying: Allow the sunshade to air dry completely before rolling it up for storage to prevent mildew or odors.
• Storage: When not in use, roll the sunshade tightly and secure it with the attached hook and loop strap. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in an optional WeatherTech storage bag (Size 2 recommended for this model).

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your WeatherTech Sunshade, consider the following common solutions:

• Sunshade Does Not Fit Properly:
  • Ensure you have the correct model (TS0403) for your specific Mercedes S 63 AMG, S 65 AMG, or S-Class (2007-2013) vehicle.
  • Verify the sunshade is oriented correctly (top to bottom, left to right).
  • Make sure your sun visors are fully lowered and pressing against the sunshade to hold it in place.
• Sunshade Appears Damaged or Creased:
  • Minor creases are normal from storage and will typically flatten out with use.
  • Avoid folding the sunshade sharply; always roll it for storage.
• Interior Still Feels Hot/Cold:
  • Ensure the correct side of the sunshade is facing outwards for the season (reflective for summer, dark for winter).
  • While the sunshade significantly reduces temperature extremes, it may not completely eliminate them, especially in very harsh climates.

If problems persist, please contact WeatherTech customer support.
