Had a Covercraft for the wife's previous ride (Accord Coupe). They're super nice, but she doesn't like clutter while driving. Took a chance and bought her these, and they fit her vert perfectly. Of course they fold into a small circle and tuck away nicely, out of sight, between the seat and console. She loves them.

The quality seems very good. However, I would disagree that the fit is perfect. Most of the pictures and videos on the Covercraft web site show that the sunshade fits inside the windshield opening and is pressed against the inside of the windshield from side to side and top to bottom. However, the one for the 6th Gen Camaro is too tall and hits the upper windshield frame about 1 inch from the visor hinges, and, therefore, doesn't allow it to fit inside the windshield opening. I got it to fit similar to the way SSport16 has his shown, but I was able to wedge it in tighter at the bottom so that it presses against the inside of the windshield at the bottom only. Not sure if I'll get a chance to test it out over the weekend, but definitely on Monday.
Must be a different fit for the covertible, or you received a defective manufactured shade.

I use the type that folds into a circle for storage. It's a two-piece set, with each rectangle fitting half of the windshield. Very easy to open and they kind of snap into place and are held there by the edges of the windshield and the back of the rear view mirror.

For me, there's nothing more annoying than wrestling with a big accordion-style piece of cardboard or trying to roll up a wide, single-piece screen in a tight cabin! With mine, they're in and out in seconds and when folded down into a circle, stow easily between the seat and center console or neatly into the pocket behind the passenger seat.

I have no issues with how to install it. Are you saying that yours presses against the windshield from top to bottom, that the top windshield frame doesn't prevent it from fitting completely within the frame?

BTW, I did purchase the blue one.

As stated in my first post in this thread, at that time, I only found two different windshield PNs, one for with HUD and one for without HUD. Checking again today, there are convertible specific windshields. So it's entirely possible that the convertible windshield is a bit shorter than the coupe windshield. If the sunshade were ~1" shorter, it would probably get past the upper windshield frame. Would you mind measuring the height of your windshield? The convertible windshield, at the center of the windshield, from the black edge at the bottom to the black edge at the top is ~22".
