Original Trokot curtains Easy installation of Trokot curtains and use of the product are among the advantages of our company's sun screens. Despite the fact that our employees have developed the simplest mounting methods and described installation options in detail in the instructions, a number of customers have difficulty placing the curtains. Therefore, our company published on the website step-by-step instructions on how to install frame screens on car windows, detailed information about the model range, materials and other characteristics of the products.
Appearance Trokot
The type of Trokot blinds is determined by the quality of the materials used. In the production of car curtains, our company uses:
- a special dense mesh that prevents the penetration of ultraviolet rays;
- galvanized steel wire, 4 mm in diameter, this maintains the rigidity and strength of the profile;
- durable and flexible EPDM rubber, which prevents product deformation and provides adhesion to the window structure.
Trokot curtains from the manufacturer The materials and unique design of car curtains help to accurately fit the product to the car window opening. The tight fit to the structure eliminates the inconvenience of using our company's products and helps to achieve a solid appearance for the car.
About the company TROCOT
The TROKOT trademark has been on the market for 5 years. The main specialization is the production of car curtains with magnets for vehicles of any brand. The company started with a small production facility in a garage. When there was a demand for curtains for a car, the company quickly won the favor of the consumer among other competitors.
• Testing of manufactured products (selective and 100%); • Availability of certificates of conformity and patents; • Use of modern and safe materials; • Modern equipment and qualified personnel; • High-quality and reliable packaging for transportation. • Trokot has its own time-tested manufacturing technology (fasteners, material, device, size range).
Over the five years during which car curtains have been produced, the company has had to keep up with the ever-increasing demand.
Over time, the company had a good website with all the necessary information. You can order magnetic curtains for car windows without leaving your home through this official website.
Trokot: frame curtain material
The main material in the curtains is mesh with pyramidal holes. This fabric texture acts as an alternative to the usual film tinting.
Pyramid-shaped openings prevent the penetration of sunlight, debris, insects, hide what is happening inside the cabin, but provide excellent visibility of the road and visibility from the mirrors.
This is achieved due to the high light transmittance.
Trokot by car
For the edging, our company chose EPDM rubber - a plastic but durable material, which was chosen due to its technical characteristics:
- resistance to UV rays;
- no deformation under the influence of high or low temperatures;
- high insulation rates.
The rubber edging is placed along the surface of the curtain. Strong adhesion to the structure of the product is achieved due to a layer of glue that is applied to the entire contact area.
The rubber edging is applied to a metal profile, which is made from galvanized steel wire.
The diameter of the metal profile is 4 mm. The zinc coating prevents the formation of rust, which increases the durability of the curtains and the life of the product.
Fact: The service life of Trokot products is many times longer than that of competitors' products.
How to get away with curtains?
There are several useful tips from lawyers that can help avoid a fine:
- You may be required to measure the light transmittance of the curtains, and the absence of a device and measurement “by eye” can be interpreted as a reason why a fine cannot be issued.
- You can refer to Article 12.5 Part 1 and ask to limit yourself to a warning, promising the inspector to remove the curtains and no longer use them while driving.
- You can remove the curtains before the inspector approaches the vehicle. But this trick will only work if there was no video recording of the violation.
Design and format of Trokot curtains
The visibility of the road and visibility from the mirrors when installing car curtains is not inferior to that when using film tinting.
However, our company has developed a convenient format for products in this category:
- models with cutouts for viewing on side and rear view mirrors;
- curtains for smoking drivers with a cutout for ventilation of air and cigarettes.
Trokot curtains from the manufacturer
Regardless of what type of product the car owner has installed, auto curtains perform the task:
- Protects the interior from overheating under the sun.
- Increases safety when driving, since the driver's eyes are not blinded by the sun's rays.
- Prevents the penetration of debris, dust, and pebbles when driving at high speed. If there are frame curtains with magnets, only fresh air passes through the window.
- Prevents mosquitoes, mosquitoes and other insects from entering the cabin.
- Does not reveal to strangers what is inside the passenger cabin.
For information: Installation of frame curtains protects the driver’s health and privacy. Passers-by will not see what is happening or what is inside the vehicle.
Install
Each sunshade is equipped with 4 magnets. To install frame mesh curtains for a car, you only need to perform a few manipulations:
- We install the selected products on the door panel at some distance from the glass (1-2 cm). It is better to lower the windows first, it will be much more convenient to work.
- The corner mountings that come with the kit need to be installed on magnets. At the same time, the fasteners differ slightly in angle of inclination, so you need to choose the optimal ones. The main thing is that they fit tightly to the surface. I first installed the first ones I came across and at high speed the curtains began to dangle, but after replacing the corners with the correct ones, the nets fit like a glove and were firmly fixed.
- We remove the protective film from the fasteners (I highly recommend wiping the surface with which they will be joined with alcohol first).
- Glue the lower parts of the rods. In this case, the fasteners need to be placed slightly under the rubber band, which is located between the glass and the surface.
- We repeat the same with the remaining 3 magnets.
- Press the fasteners firmly.
After this, the fasteners remain in place, and the tinting screens themselves can be removed at any time. To do this, just pull the tab with the Trokota logo (therefore, I don’t recommend cutting it off for those in a hurry).
However, the mesh may tighten a little and gaps may appear between the sheet and the surface; personally, this is exactly what happened to me. However, due to the fact that this is a new generation of tinting, it is elastic, so such “jambs” can be easily removed. The main frame on which the mesh material is stretched is a wire that can be bent a little (the main thing is not to overdo it).
Although I had to sweat a little, trying to figure out which way to bend and what, everything turned out great. The removable mesh fit like a glove.
And here's what it looks like overall.
Everything together looks very cool (I left the tint on the rear windows for now, but it looks like I’ll be replacing that soon too).
Characteristics and range
Our company's car curtains are purchased and installed on cars by thousands of car owners in Russia and the CIS countries.
Types of curtains and sizes Trokot
This is due to the characteristics of the product:
- Durable steel curtain frame. Galvanized steel 4 mm thick is protected by a rubberized edging, which prevents corrosion and prevents scratches.
- Heat-resistant mesh with light transmittance. The transparency of the material exceeds 75%. At the same time, the mesh does not fade under the influence of UV rays and does not deform during use.
- Secure fastening with magnets. Magnetic fasteners help to install the curtains in a couple of minutes, while holding the structure tightly and eliminating noise when driving at high speed.
- Adjustment of curtain parameters in accordance with the model and make of the car. Our company makes modifications at the request of the customer: adding cutouts for smokers, for rear-view mirrors and others.
Fact: The combination of these characteristics of car curtains is the reason why the product is installed on premium cars.
Appeal against punishment
If the driver is guilty of an offense and all the evidence is clear, it is useless to try to appeal the decision. But there are also situations when a traffic police officer exceeds his authority and imposes an illegal penalty on the driver for having:
- curtains, even if they are assembled and do not interfere with the view;
- frame curtains in a parked car;
- rear curtains, etc.
If this punishment is unlawful, the car owner needs to collect evidence - take photos and videos, and also indicate the fact of disagreement with the protocol.
An application with attached evidence can be submitted to the head of the traffic police department, whose representative issued the fine, as well as to the court (within 10 days). If the motorist manages to prove that he is right, the fine will be cancelled.
Installing Trokot curtains - instructions for car tuning
How to install curtains in a car is written in detailed instructions. Automatic blinds can be installed indoors and outdoors, subject to temperature conditions above 100 C.
Installation instructions
The owner of the car exactly repeats the recommendations of the instructions:
- Places the screen base against the window opening.
- By pressing on the structure, it bends the curtain so that the product follows the curves of the glass. There are no problems with fitting, since the production uses durable but plastic material.
- Attaches the metal holders, which are included in the product package, to the frame magnets.
- Degreases the surface of the door in the part where the holders are attached. For degreasing, alcohol or solvent is used.
- Wait until the surface dries.
- Removes the protective film and places the fasteners one by one in the window opening.
- Hold the element for 1-2 minutes. Repeat the action with the remaining fasteners.
Important: After placement, fastenings are used after 4-5 hours.
When time runs out, install the curtain using magnets. To dismantle the product, pull the label.
Choosing curtains for your car
So, we have already talked about the advantages of curtains - all that remains is to figure out which curtains to buy for your car.
Today there are several types of curtains for car windows on the market. Let's look at each of them.
Sunscreens, also known as curtains with suction cups
1) Sun protection car screen.
In fact, this is a curtain that is attached to the glass using a suction cup.
Sunscreens are quite popular among car enthusiasts because they are practical (fixing them to the glass is not difficult), they look neutral, that is, they are acceptable for any car, which makes them universal. And, of course, the price: the sunscreen is the cheapest curtain in the car, which also plays a role in the growing popularity of this product.
Of course, there are some disadvantages, the most serious of which is the screen size. The size of this type of car curtain is, as a rule, smaller than glass, which is why you will not receive full protection from the sun, that is, the curtain does not cope with its main task. Another problem is that the suction cup on the screen doesn't last long.
The cost fluctuates around 140-200 rubles for a set of two screens.
2) Car curtains made of plastic.
Plastic car curtains
Their advantage is that they can be rolled up and unfolded if necessary: using such curtains is very convenient compared to the same sun screens. Plastic curtains are attached using self-tapping screws.
The disadvantage is the following: the plastic quickly loses its color, and along with it its presentation - it won’t be long after purchase when the plastic curtain will no longer be a decoration for your car window. But, as was written earlier, you need to be prepared for this, since functionality is more important than appearance. A serious disadvantage is that only standard sizes of plastic curtains are available on the market, and there is a possibility that you will not find a curtain that suits you.
You can buy such curtains starting from 1100 and ending with an amount of 1500 rubles.
3) Sliding car curtains made of fabric.
Sliding curtains made of fabric, also known as textile curtains
Such sun protection is reminiscent of ordinary curtains that hang on the windows in every home. They are attached with hooks to the cornices at the top and bottom, all this is placed next to the car window. This is convenient because when installed on the glass, no additional parts are attached and no special liquids are applied, meaning the window can always be opened. And you’ll save the window regulator. Another plus: the ability to quickly replace. You can easily select the curtains you need with one or another darkening level and install them in your car without any problems.
Such pleasure costs from 500 to 1500 rubles per set.
4) Frame curtains
Frame car curtains
Such curtains consist of a frame, the size of which is equal to the size of the car window, and a mesh that is pulled over this frame. The whole structure is assembled very easily and quickly: just attach the metal corners to the window frame, then fasten the frame consisting of magnetic plates and stretch the dark mesh.
Compared to other types, frame curtains for cars have the most advantages:
- Practicality; installation, as well as replacement, takes a few seconds;
- The darkening net is made of durable fabric, which also acts as a net against mosquitoes and other insects. In addition, the strength of the mesh allows you to make holes in it if you like to smoke in transport, without fear that it will tear;
- Among motorists, frame curtains have gained fame as the optimal alternative to window tinting;
- Using a frame mesh increases the efficiency of the air conditioner in a car by 30-40 percent!

The price of such curtains directly depends on your car. The lowest price is about 5,000 rubles per set, the average price is about 10,000 rubles. If possible, you can buy only side or rear curtains: in this case, the price will not exceed 4,000 rubles.
We talked about the technical side, now a little about aesthetics: how to choose a curtain so that it stylistically matches your car?
Everything is simple - first of all, you need to decide what will be the reference: interior or exterior colors. The curtains seem to be inside the car, but they can be seen very clearly from the outside, so place more emphasis on the colors of the car’s body:
- If the body design has more light colors, then nothing limits your choice - take curtains of any color;
- In cases where the body of your car is black or very bright in color, choose curtains with a similar shade.
But these are only recommendations - the choice is yours. You can use a variety of color combinations - the main thing is that you like the result.
Expert commentary
Veniamin Viktorovich, car dealer
Specialist Trokot “Trokot curtains are superior to film tinting in a number of ways. If you lower the windows, fresh air will come in, but the barrier to the sun's rays will remain in place.
Also, when the window is lowered, insects, dust and dirt do not fly in. When going out into nature, leave the car and leave the windows closed, there will be no mosquitoes inside, and there will be no heat.
The removable tint on the door is a functional and essential accessory, in my opinion. But this is a personal opinion, I don’t impose this point of view on anyone.”
Is it legal to seize car curtains?
Removing curtains is a common procedure for traffic police representatives. But this does not make it legal.

According to paragraph 213 of the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, objects that were instrumental in committing an offense can indeed be confiscated. But the very next paragraph of this document provides a list of what can be confiscated - special signals and lighting devices that do not meet the standard.
In addition, the curtains cannot simply be confiscated - the inspector is obliged to draw up an inspection protocol and involve witnesses, as well as draw up an additional protocol for the seizure of the weapon of the offense. Based on these documents, the motorist can appeal the decision and return the things that belong to him. Both at the level of the traffic police department and the court, the actions of the confiscation inspector will be recognized as illegal, and he will be required to return the item.
Thus, representatives of the State Traffic Inspectorate have the right only to demand the removal of the curtains - that is, the elimination of the reason prohibiting the operation of the vehicle.
Reviews from customers Trokot
Examples of comments from those who have the company’s curtains installed:
Vasily Limansky
Vasily “I’m leaving a short review. Frame curtains perform their function with a bang. They darken better than tinting; you can’t tell them apart from the film on the outside. Inside the car, visibility is good, but it takes time to get used to. At first it was dazzled in my eyes.
Magnetic fasteners are easy to use and do not make unnecessary sounds when driving.
The rubber edging is many times better than its competitors. I'm happy with the purchase, I recommend ordering."
Ilya Strelnikov
Ilya “I bought a set of magnetic curtains from another manufacturer, the price was lower. But the fasteners... Corresponds to the price. I was looking for the same ones, found this company website, and ordered them.
I installed it as soon as the delivery arrived. It feels like the product is original. I bought it with cutouts on the door glass for rear visibility.
I'm happy with the order."
Allowed or not
There are different opinions among drivers about whether it is allowed to install nets on car windows.
The rules contain two points regarding this:
- On the windshield and on the side windows, auto-blinds with a light transmittance of at least 70% are allowed,
- the rear window and the side windows at the back can transmit any percentage of light.
The light transmittance of the Trokot mesh ranges from 70 to 100%. If a traffic police officer stops you and accuses you of such a violation, offer to measure the light transmittance. An employee does not have the right to fine a car with installed nets of acceptable light transmittance.
If the traffic cop makes any complaints, the mesh can be easily removed and then returned to its place. Frame meshes are considered the safest: their light transmittance is the highest.

Is there an order or requirement for curtains?
In fact, the main purpose for which State Traffic Inspectorate employees issue orders or demands is the opportunity to prosecute the driver for a repeated violation if the malfunction is not eliminated, and impose a more severe penalty - a fine of 500-1000 rubles or arrest for up to 15 days (under Part 1 Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Violations).
We recommend! Tripartite car purchase and sale agreement
In relation to curtains, neither an order nor a requirement can be issued - such punishment is not provided for by law. There are also no similar precedents in judicial practice. But unfortunately, a prescription may be issued for tinting; in this article you can find out what the repeated fine for tinting is.
Buy Trokot from the official manufacturer
You can order on our company’s website like this:
- the buyer fills out a form, indicating the name, telephone number, make and model of the car;
- sends a request to company employees;
- discusses the order details with the operator over the phone.
The company manager calls back 10-15 minutes after placing the order. During the conversation, the quantity of goods, delivery address, vehicle model, installation of Trokot curtains and other details are clarified. Shipping your purchase takes 5-7 days.
Purchase
In my search, I began to study reviews from Ali and realized that the quality of such curtains is clearly “so-so.” Finally I came across this video:
I admit, as a person who has been burned more than once, I did not feel much hope, so I began to meticulously study the Trokot.ru website. I was immediately pleased by the fact that there are documents for the products, although usually there is no guarantee for such accessories (for the same “Ali”). They state that the products comply with the requirements of regulatory documents. Just what you need! Of course, there are also documents on trademark registration and so on. More important to me is the fact that the product itself is certified. By the way, I always check the presence of such documents when purchasing goods for cars.
As a cautious person, I do not trust any commercials until I hold the product in my hands and evaluate its quality. Therefore, I decided not to risk it and chose a kit only for the front side windows (I paid about 2,500 rubles for 2 Trokot curtains). I chose 15% light transmittance. I placed the order via the Internet, since I live in the suburbs of Moscow (although the main office is located in the capital, I was just too lazy to go to the city again). The parcel arrived in 2 days. Again, I compare it with Ali, from whom I last waited 28 days for a parcel.
Essential elements
The frame curtain consists of:
- Frame. This is the main element of the product, made of metal components. It is sheathed with a special fabric or covered with a layer of rubber. The main advantages are high strength and lightness. A mesh is stretched over the covering from above. All elements used match the size and shape of the window, so when purchasing, you should take a responsible approach to the accuracy of the selection. You can order curtains individually or select from stock for your car model.
- Protective mesh. This material is usually made from fabric that has strength and elasticity. The mesh is extremely resistant to sunlight and copes well with wind loads. High quality fabric allows the product to serve for a long time.
- Fastening elements. As a rule, these are magnetic mounts. They are very comfortable and high quality.
In order for your car blind to last as long as possible, you should purchase products with the best characteristics and from high-quality materials.
How to make a car curtain with your own hands
Sun protection structures for the entire car can be made independently, although not so easy. The second option with a frame and stretched fabric is simple and quick to manufacture.
To do this you will need:
- Insulating fabric. A backing mesh is often used. The owner chooses the drawing and design himself.
- Wire for forming the frame. For a suspended structure, it is preferable to use a rod with a cross section of 5 mm.
- Braid for hemming the base.
First you need to take the exact dimensions of the car glass. As a margin, you can add 1-2 millimeters on each side of the canvas. The next step is to shape the support wire.
Textile is cut along the contour and fixed with a frame seam. Next, a braid is sewn around the perimeter. The final stage is the installation of fasteners on the side windows and installation of the structure.

What does the price depend on and features of choice?
The price of car blinds directly depends on the fabric from which they are made and the strength of the frame. In addition, the size of the product affects the cost. On the market it is possible to purchase car blinds of a variety of designs and with any fittings. The driver has the opportunity to purchase a complete set of frame-type accessories, but the buyer is also offered to buy products only for the front windows, accordingly, the price will be much lower.
The quality of the product can be judged based on the type of mesh; visibility, penetration of dust and insects depend on the material. Do not neglect the fastening system; magnetic fasteners are considered the most reliable and high-quality.
It should also be noted that the more expensive the car itself, the higher the price of accessories for it. Depending on the brand of the car and its cost, the price of the curtains will also change.
Whatever the choice, it is important to choose the right car blinds for your car model. You should pay attention to the density of the mesh, the type of fastening and the material from which the frame is made. To guarantee long service life of the product, it is recommended to choose the option of more expensive frame curtains. If funds are limited, you can always make such accessories yourself.
