Yes, measurably. A good sunshade can reduce interior temperatures by 30-40°F. Your steering wheel won't burn you, your phone won't overheat, and your AC won't work as hard.
Silver/reflective side faces out toward the sun. It reflects sunlight before it enters your car. If you put the colored side out, you're just absorbing heat instead of reflecting it.
Custom fit covers every inch of your windshield with no gaps—more effective and looks cleaner. Universal fits most cars okay but will have gaps. Custom costs more but works better.
Yes, if possible. Even a small gap lets hot air escape, improving effectiveness. Obviously don't crack windows in sketchy areas or if rain is possible.
