Can't go wrong with the Covercraft one. It's amazing.

I have the Weathertech windshield shade, it fits the windshield pretty damn good...although you still have to use the visors to keep it in place...also its kind of a pain to roll it up... But it fits good... About $60.

Sweet, I just purchased a covercraft from www.autoanything.com for $55.78 with storage bag. They have 10% off and free shipping.

Do those Covercraft work on a convertible? The order page lists coupe as a submodel. No convertible.

I am pretty sure your windshield would be the same size as a coup windshield. But you could always call and ask.

In Texas we can use a clear (un-tinted) UV film, this type of UV film is available at most window tinting shops. Ask around and see if they are aware of this UV film, it's clear a dramatically reduces UV heat.

Picked this one up from Amazon for under $15. Fits well and good quality.

For my 4th-gen, I bought one from California Car Cover for about $60; I think it was this one:

http://www.calcarcover.com/reflectorSunShade.aspx

It fits perfectly and works well; the only problem I have is that it's kind of bulky and hard to fold up and stow in the back seat. In my '16 I'm using a cheaper shade that's comprised of two thinner oval-shaped pieces, which you sort of twist and fold up in order to stow. So that one's more convenient, but the fit isn't quite right. I'll have to see if I can find one that's sized better for the '16s; if so then I'll post back...

Has anyone confirmed this? I'm considering the Covercraft sunshade, as well. I checked two GM parts web sites and they only listed two windshields for 2016 Camaros - with and without HUD. So I presume that the convertible and coupe have the same size/shape windshield.

I contacted Covercraft a little while back to find out if the sunshade for the coupe fit the convertible, and they said yes. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Covercraft sunshade recently. I purchased it from Autopia Carcare. Their regular price is cheaper than buying directly from Covercraft, and it was on sale for 15% off. Shipping was also cheaper. It arrived today. 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.

I have this one. Was not cheap but it's not flimsy, fits perfectly and has felt on the inside.

I also found the fitting tight at first due to the size of the window. You have to get the outer edges in position first and then ease it back and up. This sunscreen is a perfect fit and looks amazing in blue. I definitely recommend.

Covercraft for me too. Works just fine. Seems to be holding up well too.
