Once installed, the KUST Windshield Sun Shade works passively to protect your vehicle. Ensure the silver reflective side is always facing outwards to maximize UV and heat reflection. The shade's custom fit minimizes light leakage, providing a dark and cool interior.

- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: The sun shade is designed to fold compactly. Twist and fold it into a small circle and place it in the provided storage bag when not in use. This helps maintain its shape and extends its lifespan. Refer to the installation video for a demonstration of the folding technique.
