The materials used for car sunshades include plastic, EPP, PU foam, cardboard, etc. Sunshades can be divided into three types: front, side, and rear.
I've handled the sunshade on my car's sunroof multiple times, mainly by sliding it to the end and then removing it. There are usually clips or grooves securing it, so avoid pulling too hard; when there's too much dust, it may get stuck—cleaning the tracks first makes operation easier. If you're cleaning or replacing it, ensure the car is parked on level ground first. Some models require just a gentle tug to detach, and I used a soft cloth to assist, avoiding scratches. The whole process is pretty quick, taking just a few minutes, but don't rush it to prevent breaking the plastic parts. Regularly cleaning the tracks helps prevent issues—I once forgot and ended up with costly repair bills. Checking the manual before starting is the safest bet—it tells you the exact steps, and if there's no manual, look up a video for your car model.
