After unfortunately managing to break my last one, this is the second I’ve purchased. Very well made, robust and a cinch to fit. The shade is effective at taking some glare off the screen (& rain) while at the same time not obstructing the view. Not the cheapest but in my opinion the best.

Excellent product, well made, keeps majority of glare off the sat nav making it so much more easier to use.

Will have to wait until sunnier day, to see how big a difference it makes, but fits fine, didn’t drop off when used on bike and looks like it will make a difference in Summer (hopefully)

The sun shade is great and works well just done a 1368 mile trip and no problems just a pity bmw hadn't put the sat nav mount nearer the screen instead of right in everythings way but the sun shade is great

The shade for the Garmin V sat nav works really considering you can hardly see anything on the sat nav in bright sunlight. Makes you wonder why it isn't supplied with the Sat Nav in the first place. A touch fiddly to fit, but secure once on. Delivered by NN within a few days. A reasonable price too.

The shade does it's job, but is not secure on the sat nav unit and is too easily removed and therefore is likely to be stolen.

Will not fit without major modifications to the shade to fit a oil cooled bmw navigator 5 mount with the 4 buttons down the left side.
Side of shade will not fit in the left side gap between nav and mounting.
Definitely will not fit if you also have the touratech locking sat nav mount too.
funny how wunderluich never thought of the touratech locking mount :) .
Having said that I bought this knowing that it was going to be violated to fit.
With a bit of cutting.bevelling side and corners it was made to fit.
Only wish it was made for the the pre water cooled bike .
Quality was good and still looks good

Pros, Nicely made ,easy to fit, looks good ,reduces glare from some angles.
Cons, sat nav does not easily slip into pocket now, does not stop glare from behind, a bit expensive.
Overall happy.

Recently Upgrades my sat nav from a Zuo660 which has a sunshade to a Navigator 5 & much to my dismay the shade didn’t fit so I bought the correct one. Too early to say till it’s sunny but it should work like the zumo one. Fitted easy enough, no problems like some reviewers have experienced with a tight fit
Extremely expensive for what it is but there you go.

Simple and basic but makes a big difference to touring in sunny climes - even with the sun at your back the shade allows you to read the key directions at the top of the satnav screen; a little over priced for what it is - hence the loss of a star on value - but very useful.

I used this for the 1st time yesterday and what a difference it made.
For a 'piece of plastic' it cuts most of the glare from the Sat Nav and kept a lot of rain off the screen.
It is well made and a snug clip fit for on the Sat Nav.
Great product.

Works well to reduce glare unless the sun is directly behind you. A bit surprised that you can pull it away without removing Nav5 from dock. Easy to steal, unless you use sticky pads supplied, but then you can't use carry-pouch to transport Nav5 when removed from dock.

This worked very well. I have read other reviews on this page. But have not had any problems. It fit's prefect on my GPS and again it fitted right into the GPS's cradle, no sanding or anything needed. I haven't put the stickers on the bottom yet has I want to be able to take it off. For me. This works well, even on the motorway, and hasn't come off yet. I am planing the drill very small holes at the back of the clips and use fishing line to make sure it doesn't fly off, but that I can also still have it off when needed.

Bought for France trip. Very sunny and therefore needed as Nav V screen is difficult to read in bright light. Nippy checked that it would fit on a tank mount and were told 'yes'. The sat nav and shade would not mount together, for some reason, so I placed the nav in its mount and clipped the shade to the nav. I did not use the adhesive pads supplied as I did not want the shade to be permanently fixed to the nav. Whilst riding, the shade kept detaching itself from the nav. I managed to catch it on a couple of occasions, whilst riding, and clip it back on. On one run out it finally flew off, never to be seen again.
My opinion is that it was an expensive piece of plastic to buy, just to serve as a kerb side ornament. Not Nippy's fault in any way but left me feeling duped.
Nippy Normans Say - obviously the double sided tape is there for a reason. We ahev sold hundreds of these with no issues as long as customers use the tape. We have offered to replace the item free of charge as a good will gesture

Simple clip-on shade for the Navigator 5. Keeps a little of the light off the screen, but doesn't make a huge difference to its visibility. Haven't really checked, but I imagine it'll also keep the rain off while the bike's at a standstill.

The shade is made of high quality plastic and fitted without any difficulty. It's expensive for what it is, but it does improve one of the main weaknesses of the R1200RT, the fact that the GPS housing is not adjustable and the GPS is not readable when the sun is low in the sky. As a result I regard it as money well spent.

Excellent product. I have had other aftermarket sun screens for other GPSs which have been flimsy and don't stay centred. This one is solid and secure. It works effectively to keep the sun off the screen of the GPS other than when the sun is directly shining on the screen from about 45° downwards directly behind you. Highly recommended.
Had To Adjust It Steve on Jun 07, 2016
Rating: 2
It does work well but I also had to trim about 1/4 inch off of the top left lug. The lug is too long/thick for the gap between the top of the sat nav and the sat nav mount. Didn't want to force the locking mechanism in case I damaged it. Shame really as most Wunderlich items are tailor made for the job.
NOTE FROM NN:
The Sun Shades are a tight fit but should not need trimming and you are the first to have to do this. unlike other makes of sun shade they will not fly off !

I found the shade clipped on neatly when the Nav 5 was outside the cradle, but was loose as soon as the Nav 5 was inserted into the bike's cradle. This resulted in the shade coming loose and flying off the bike at speed. The shade was damaged beyond repair.
