Measuring when not deployed, exactly how much does it extend in from side post and how far back from windshield (thicknes) in inches?

When not deployed (collapsed) it extends about an inch from the windshield post. The unit is about an 1 1/4 inches thick. After installing it really doesn't impair your view while driving (collapsed). You get used to it being in place after awhile. This is without a doubt a perfect solution to shading a windshield. First time passengers always comment on it.

I have it installed on an outdoor kitchen countertop and it is mounted between backer board and 1.5" of concrete. So, I am unable to get this measurement. Wish I could help.

Sorry we no longer own the RV the unit was in so I can't measure it. Suggest you look on Google for other vendors that might have the unit for sale and list the info.

I did not measure it, but guess it to be 4 to 5 feet. It reached easily from the top center of my windshield along the top moulding and down the left side of dash to the floor. (Toyota Sienna) With some to spare.

i don't remember the exact measures, but it wasn't too large, because it fit the back seat of my 05' corolla.

Dear Alex Flyboy - I measured the backend and my measurements came in at 2". Hope this helps you!

I am not sure of the actual dimensions... I have a BMW 3 series and it covers the windshield with use of the visor vs the suction cups that come with it.... The shade presses against the rear view mirror but overall it does the job and keeps the car cool which is why I bought it... It displays nicely and I get quite a few compliments on it.

It would depend on exactly where you took the measurements. I took them from the console post to the front edge of the seat cushion. When all the way forward, I measured about a foot and two inches. All the back was about two feet. Hope this helps.

About 10" long but very hard to bend. It attaches to the windshield steadily.

Not sure about the slant of your windshield, or if it matters. That said, if you stuck the device to a flat surface, the total extended distance of the arm and hardware which holds the device equals 5.25 inches or 13.3 cm.

It leaves about six inches of space on each side if you put it on your windshield it's probably like 24-40 inches

I saw a post that says a few inches... No way I just measured it it's 1 3/4 without stretching it just

It's about two-and-a-half or three feet - not enough to run around the edge of the windshield. It hangs down, but I do not find it particularly obtrusive.

approx 15" acrossed. Guard is a half circle so it will extend out 7.5" from motor center.

I put mine out about 15ft. It definitely stretches a bit, but the distance seems perfect. This is my second one using the same posts. You will find each season they stretch just a little more.

It's about six inches. I mounted the included mounting disk on the dash of my CRV. I use it on my wife's Camry windshield. It holds either my Samsung or iPad Mini great in either car. Even over rough roads.

From my installation (and I am totally going on memory here, so no promises) it's a little over 3". The posts are centered vertically and just a bit in from each side.
