Sunshade for Windshield

Just curious what people are running for sun shades in the front windshield. I saw a bunch online from cheap to expensive, but wondering about fitment and quality from people on here who may be using them.

I just bought a generic shade from Costco; meh, it doesn't fit very well since the visors are so small, but will probably be fine just laying on the dash. YMMV.

I liked it so much. I bought one for my other car. We also have the super thick heavy ones by Kimberly Clark or something, and I like these a lot better, these had a better fit.

Can get 'em, custom fit, for ALL the windows. Have had the company's product for four or five cars (plus Freightliner tractor), will always buy them in future.

Mine is from High End Motorsports, here is the link: https://www.high-end-motorsports.com...sun-shade.html, windshield only is currently $49.95.

A few years back I bought the full set that includes the rear and the sides as well for $159.95 (it's even cheaper now). The set works perfectly, does not move or sag, very easy to attach and tear down afterwards, and it provides full coverage all around.

I have had the heat shield, the cover craft that Fran posted is the one I was talking about When I said Kimberly Clark. It's a good heat shield, but the one I posted is less than half the price. They works every bit as well besides being a couple of pounds lighter and thinner so it's easier to maneuver.

I replaced the heat shield with the one I posted because after a few years it starts to want to keep it curl so much that it won't block all of windshield.

And that price is with 20% off, that’s a crazy price. 🤦

Hello from Aussie, where it gets really HOT!
IMHO shades that fit inside the windscreen are not the best way to go, as their fit is usually poor, and as they are located inside the car, the heat has already entered the vehicle via the windscreen.
I made my own "shade" which fits the OUTSIDE of the front screen perfectly, & does a very good job of stopping UV & heat from entering the car.
Simply go to a shop that sells rubber products & buy yourself a roll of thin UV resistant rubber sheet. Then just cut out the outer shape of your windscreen on the sheet, with "tabs" at each end to slip into the front door opening, so that when you close the doors, your screen shade will be held in place. Easy to store too, when not being used, just roll it up.
Cheap, & 100% effective!

Another satisfied customer here. I used their roll-up style in my 2016 that primarily lived outside and it held up well. I am using the same type in my 2021, but I went with the gold colored variant - which I think looks good with the Satin Steel Metallic paint. Very happy with this sun shade!

I purchased the Camaro Fifty a few years ago. I believe I paid $100, similar to this one

Yep, but fits flawless works well.

There is an old thread somewhere on here when I bought it for my 2020

I completely agree, more effective placed on the exterior, I do that on my truck with a panel/ accordion style, take the wipers out of the park position so they sit on the shade to keep it in place, I only place it on the outside when parked at home or at my secured workplace spot.

When I went to that link on Amazon it says not fitting a ‘23 I don’t believe there were major changes to the windshield size, maybe Amazon hasn’t caught up
