A look at what people actually ordered, and what it suggests about how buyers approach fitment. Small sample, stated plainly: this is a snapshot of the first ten completed orders, not a market study.
What this is built from
Ten orders that reached delivered or shipped status, covering 12 shade sets across 11 different vehicles, placed across June and July 2026.
On privacy
Only three things were read from each order: the vehicle the shades were made for, which coverage set was chosen, and the month. No customer names, email addresses, phone numbers, delivery addresses, order numbers or amounts were read, and none appear anywhere on this page.
Body styles
| Body style | Sets | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan | 5 | 42% |
| People mover | 2 | 17% |
| Ute (dual cab) | 2 | 17% |
| SUV | 2 | 17% |
| Hatch | 1 | 8% |
Sedans lead, but the more useful observation is the spread: five body styles across ten orders. There is no single vehicle shape that dominates, which is exactly why a shade cut for one body style will not transfer to another. Two cars can share a badge and a model year and still need different panels — the reason is covered in why body style changes your window shape.
Coverage: almost everyone takes all four doors
| Coverage chosen | Sets | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Front + rear doors (4 pcs) | 10 | 83% |
| Third-row / port windows | 1 | 8% |
| Set not specified in the line item | 1 | 8% |
Ten of twelve sets were the four-piece front-and-rear-door configuration. That is a clear preference, and it lines up with what the shades are for: rear passengers get the direct sun, but drivers do not want an obvious mismatch between front and rear glass.
One order added a third-row / port window set on top of a four-piece set. That is the people-mover case — a Kia Carnival, where the third row has its own glass that a four-door set simply does not reach. If you drive a seven or eight seater, that gap is worth checking before you order; see quarter windows and the awkward panes shades often miss.
Two of ten orders bought more than one set
2 of the ten completed orders contained more than one set. On a sample this size that is not a statistic, but it is a pattern worth naming: coverage gets extended when the standard four-door set does not reach every pane — third rows, cargo glass, quarter windows.
The finding that matters most
The Hyundai Elantra appeared twice, under two different labels: 2016–2020 and 2017-2020. Same generation of car, two different year ranges written on the product.
That is a catalogue-naming artefact rather than two different shades, and it is precisely the trap this site exists to warn about. Year labels are a description, not a specification. The thing that determines whether a shade fits is the generation and facelift your car actually is, which you confirm from the build date — not from a range printed on a listing. Two guides cover this directly: how to identify your car’s generation and why ‘same model’ doesn’t mean ‘same window’.
The vehicles
Every vehicle represented in the ten completed orders:
- BYD SEALION 8
- HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2016–2020
- HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2017-2020
- HYUNDAI I30 2013-2019
- ISUZU D-MAX 2021-2025
- KIA CARNIVAL 2022-2026
- KIA CERATO / K3 2019-2025
- KIA SPORTAGE 2023-2025
- MAZDA BT50 2021-2025
- MITSUBISHI LANCER 2000-2003
- TOYOTA CAMRY 2012-2017
What this does and doesn’t tell you
- It does show that demand is spread across body styles rather than concentrated in one shape.
- It does show a strong preference for full four-door coverage over partial sets.
- It does not support any claim about market share, growth or seasonality — ten orders across two months cannot carry that weight.
- It does not tell us why buyers chose what they chose, only what they chose.
Method: order records were read via the store’s admin API on 5 August 2026, filtered to delivered and shipped status, and reduced to vehicle, coverage and month before any analysis. Percentages are of the twelve sets, not the ten orders, and are rounded.
Working out your own fitment
Start with the generation, not the badge. If you already know what you need, custom-fit shades cut to your make, model and year are available at CarShade.
