With modification it can workAug 24, 2007
I bought one of these as an impulse buy. No where on the out side of the package does it say "does not work with tinted windows". However the instruction sheet warns that it will not work with tinted windows in 3 or 4 places.
When placed in the back window of my Xterra the fan did not turn at all in direct sunlight. If I moved it to the front window where the tint is lighter it turns but very, very slowly.
I removed the 4 tiny screws that hold it together and popped the solar cell out. I glued the power cell to the outside vent portion of the device and now it works reasonably well. I have not measured the exact cooling effect yet but I do car pool and my 2 coworkers agree that the car is cooler at the end of the day. Now I am even thinking of getting a second one to put on the opposite side of the car.
It comes with a rubber gasket that must be trimmed to fit your car. I must warn that I did cut my hand when trimming the gasket with a carpet knife. (be careful)

GarbageJul 16, 2007
I wish I'd read the reviews before wasting my money on this. The fan is so wimpy it won't even ripple the hairs on the back of your hand, and even then it only runs when in full, direct sunlight.
Great idea, though. Someone should make one that has some power, maybe with a larger, separate solar panel that you can lay on the dashboard or something?

What A Piece of JunkJul 03, 2007
It doesn't deserve even one star but there was nothing lower to choose. They should have a class action suit filed against them for false advertising.

Doesn't Work- fan is way too smallMay 21, 2007
This seemed like a neat idea. I bought one and tried it out. It's got a wimpy little fan- you can't even feel any air movement on your hand. I ran it all afternoon in the bright sunshine with the car closed up. I even stuck a digital thermometer in the car to see if I could measure a difference. No measureable difference. I think it would ned a much larger fan for this to work.

very unsatisfiedJan 09, 2007
One day when it was 100 degrees outside, I used it in my car, rolled all of the windows up and went into a store to shop. When I came out and got into my car, it was hotter than I could have ever imagined. It hadn't cooled my car prior to that either. It looked like a very small fan blowing, and that was it. I came home, took it off, and threw it out. I was not satisfied at all.
