Default windhshield shade/reflector

hey guys, ive been using my windshield shade from my last car for a while in my GS, but it is falling apart and the color is rubbing off onto my dash .

so i was wondering what you guys use. is there a specific GS shade from lexus? or maybe a cheap one from pepboys that fits well?

thanks

Visit the John Roberts part store as they carry custom made shades to fit all Lexus cars. It is made by a third party and I am pretty satisfied by its quality. You may be able to save $10 or so by going elsewhere.

I've got a new Covercraft custom made-to-fit for my LS and an old fold up dual circle sunscreen for my GS.

I actually prefer the old fold up because it fits neatly in the seat pocket behind the passenger seat.

While the Covercraft is far superior materials and it fits the window perfectly, it's too big for someone who doesn't like stuff rattling around in their car (i.e. ME). I also have to pull down my radar detector when i want to use it, unlike the fabric of the fold up which works OK over it.

You can get the Covercraft at JC Whitney or lots of places on the net like this place.

Oops, John Roberts is the only Lexus Dealer in Austin and since 'jefe' was from Austin, I did not elaborate.
Call your local Lexus dealership parts.

1-800-777-6405 - tell 'em the car you have, they will sell you a shade made to fit. Mine's great. Can't remember name of the company but I see the number every morning I put the shade in.
