Plasticolor Sunshades: Where Sun Protection Meets Personal Style

When your car bakes in a parking lot, the consequences go beyond a hot seat — UV rays fade dashboards, crack leather, and warp plastic trim over time. Plasticolor has been tackling exactly this problem since 1971, and their windshield sunshades stand out in a crowded category for one compelling reason: they turn a purely functional accessory into a statement of personality.

Officially Licensed Designs Across Dozens of Brands

For over 50 years, Plasticolor has designed on-trend, high-quality automotive accessories featuring today's most popular and iconic brands. That philosophy is nowhere more visible than in their sunshade lineup. Rather than a generic reflective panel, a Plasticolor sunshade might showcase a Chevy logo, a RAM badge, a Jeep graphic, or characters from the Star Wars universe — all produced as officially licensed products.

Sunshades like the Star Wars Snow Speeder edition are officially licensed by Lucasfilm LTD., designed, manufactured, and distributed by Plasticolor Inc. The same rigorous licensing standards apply across their automotive marque designs — from Ford and Honda to Chevrolet and Dodge — ensuring authentic logos and artwork on every shade.

The Accordion-Style Advantage

Every Plasticolor windshield sunshade is built around a practical accordion-fold design. The universal-fit sunshade measures approximately 58 inches wide by 27 inches tall, protecting your vehicle's front windshield against damaging UV rays, reducing interior heat buildup while parked outdoors. The shade uses your sun visors to hold it in place and folds up accordion-style to provide easy storage when not in use.

Each shade folds out for an easy fit to most standard vehicles, wipes clean with soap and water, and folds up with a Velcro band for convenient storage — measuring approximately 28" H x 57" W. That compact, portable form factor makes it easy to keep one in the glove box or door pocket year-round.

Protecting More Than Just Your Dashboard

Plasticolor's accordion-style windshield sunshades help block UV rays that deteriorate your vehicle interior, while also keeping it cool on hot summer days. The practical benefits are real: avoiding a scorching hot steering wheel matters because, when the sun is out, it quickly heats your vehicle interior — but by placing a sunshade on your windshield, you can avoid a hot interior and burning steering wheel, making your return to the vehicle much more convenient.

Quality Backed by Decades of Manufacturing Expertise

Despite continued growth, Plasticolor is still a privately held, family-owned business that maintains its own in-house Art and Design team in Fullerton, California. Their design team creates all products in-house with a focus on quality first, but also fun and innovation. That combination — rigorous quality control paired with a genuine enthusiasm for bold graphics — is what makes Plasticolor sunshades a favorite among car enthusiasts who refuse to settle for a plain silver reflector.
