This product was delivered in a cardboard box that was well matched to the size of the product packaging.
Inside the box was the windscreen cover, which was packed in a plastic bag. It would be desirable for the seller to consider the possibility of a more environmentally friendly packaging option.
The cover comes in a black storage bag.
Instructions for use are not included with the product, but are not required as the product is basically self-explanatory.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon UK for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation .

Prices of up to £15.29 are charged on the internet for equivalent products . Very cheap products are available from as little as £7.99 . The Car Windscreen Cover from Startseite is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of £10.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
