My opinion, since you asked for it... lose the logo. Or at least make it discreet.

Actually we've had a lot of feedback from NAM members having the same issue with our large logo in the center of the ZippeeShade, so recently we redesigned a Limited Edition series with the logo removed from the center and relocated in the corner of the shade.

So how much for the one with the smaller logo? I went to your web page and found it to be somewhat useless unfortunately. How does a "group buy" work? Another opinion is to make the price easily seen or people leave your web page feeling like they wasted time. I hope I don't sound too snippy. I do like your product though and would love to buy one especially on sale if I could figure out how much....

No one wants to fill out a bunch of stuff just to see the price.

I have to agree. I shouldn't have to give out all of my personal info including my telephone number to get a price.

despite minor fit issues the ZS does exactly what it's supposed to do, keep the summer heat at bay. Logo? Could care less. the screen makes it less obvious.

My worked great here in Arizona until one of the grommits tore out. I haven't gotten around to contacting you about a possible replacement. Has anyone else had this occur?

Got one the other year. Logo...it does not matter either way...now that the Arizona Sun is not baking my head I don't look up! Still stays on if I want to vent the roof or open it. I like it!

I live in Las Vegas and got a Zippy Shade at last year's AMVIV. Works very well, with a small problem with fit. It seems that I can find no way to position the shade where it covers the entire sunroof. There are always small areas around the corners where sunlight comes in. I tried puttting it between the sunroof and the Mini sliding shade, which works, but then the suction cups don't work anymore.

You will probably tell me to "iron" the corners, but that really isn't very convenient, since I like to take the shade off at night when I can run with the sunroof open. First off, I'd have to actually buy an iron , then bring the shade in each night and iron the corners.

Other than that, it works very well. I have tinted windows on my mini and with the shade in, when parked, no one can see much in my car at all, a nice side effect.

Both jbrowland and yourself make a very valid point. We will simplify the NAM Group Buy form making it easier to obtain pricing, without collecting private and/or personal info. Thanks for the feedback, we will update you once we've fixed the form page.

Jerry,

If your suction cups aren't sticking well, please PM your address to me and how many suction cups you need. I'll be happy to mail some to you free of charge. Thanks for your support.

Missed this thread when I searched for Zippee.

Just ordered a couple days ago (without discount). I would have ordered the limited edition version. *sour grapes*

Anyway, the product should be delivered soon.

I am with Baron. Didn't see this thread until today. Oh well...

Got my Zippee Shade two weeks ago and really like it. I haven't tried taking it out though, just put it in which was easy enough to do.

I did get the limited edition as mine only has a smallish logo in the corner, unless this has been changed and applies no to all.
