Abstract: A louvered window shade device for installation relative to the rear windows of automobiles, particularly of the body types commonly known as fast-backs, hatch-backs, etc., wherein substantial portions of the interior compartments thereof are normally exposed to the direct rays of the sun because of the acute angular relation of the windows to horizontal planes through the cars. A pair of elongated, angular mounting bars are force fitted between the outside surface of the rear window glass and the respective side lengths of the existing, resilient window trim strip. The upper ends of the mounting bars terminate in opposed, inwardly extending plates, similarly force fitted between the glass and the top portion of the trim strip, the main body portion of the louvered shade being hingedly connected at its upper end to the plates to provide for swinging movement thereof into and out of a covering relation to the rear window glass.
