Retractable Car Canopy: Automatic Motorized Awning for Your Roof Rack

Forget the portable pole-and-suction-cup umbrellas you dig out of the trunk every afternoon. This retractable car canopy bolts onto your roof rack and simply stays put. Hit the remote, the canvas tucks back into its housing, and you're done. No yanking, no folding, no re-rigging the next morning.

This retractable car canopy mounts to a roof rack, but the rack isn't part of the package, and it's not something Autixio sells. You'll find them at most auto parts stores. The catch: they're vehicle-specific, so have your make, model, and year, or your roof dimensions, ready before you shop.

For this retractable car canopy, one press of the remote fires up an 8-slot brushed motor rated around 202 lbf (900N). That's plenty of force to slide the canvas fully into or out of its housing. Power comes from a detachable battery running at DC 5V, 1A.

• One retractable car canopy (canvas plus housing, as a single unit)

The box includes every piece of hardware and every tool you need to bolt this retractable car canopy onto your rack. The crossbars themselves, the actual rack your car has to fit, are the one item you'll source on your own.

• This mounts to a roof rack and stays there. Hit the remote and the canvas tucks back into its housing. No more nightly routine of hauling a pole-and-suction shade out of the trunk, staking it up, then doing it all in reverse before bed.
• The canvas carries a stated 3 mil thickness spec, a concrete number you can actually verify against the spec sheet, not just a "heavy-duty" sticker. Stack that on top of 90% UV rejection and 60% infrared rejection.
• The 1-year warranty is stated plainly as covering the mechanism, not the canvas. Handy to have that clarity before you spend the money, rather than discovering it the hard way after a warranty claim bounces back.
