Default Custom Fit Sun Screen Protector RX350

Hello USA,

Recently I purchased this great looking custom fit sun screen protector from EBay USA, only problem it will not fit the RX350 as advertised
Does anybody out there know where I can purchase this type of protector to suit the RX350 as you help would be greatly appreciated.

I think he is talking about a screen protector and anti-glare film that goes over the navigation screen.

vlamos, cannot figure out what you are talking about.
do you want something to cover the whole windsheild while your car is parked?
or do you want a transparent screen protector for you navi screen?

or do you want a sun visor cover???

Your photograph is too abstract to be of any use. What the heck are you looking for?

I know most non-United States folks have names for automobile parts that are different than what we call them (for example: windshield=windscreen, trunk=boot, etc.) so, for the sake of clarification, please either post a photo of the whole product or be more descriptive.

Thanks!

Is this what you mean? As a matter of fact I came across this yesterday. I haven't ordered one yet, but I'm planning to ...

I pretty much thought I was specific by including the images but obviously not!!
What I am after is what you guys I think call it is an UVS (ultraviolet heat shield) as shown in the top 2 images above.
We call it a windscreen sun protector.

I have sourced several suppliers in the USA but they will not ship to Australia.

Lexus dealership here sell a product called Heat Shield made by Canvas works of Sunnyvale CA.

These are custom made for each Lexus models. Been using it for years and works very well.

The top 2 images are not showing....just red Xs.

How about a link to one of those US suppliers so we can see what it is.

Thank you RC Av8r,

I regularly see only red Xs instead of the images on the forum of CL and often wondered why ?

When I open the thread at this end I see the images and thought you guys could see them also ....could not understand why you all couldn't figure it out, lol

Thanks, vlamos for the links to the photos.

Those do look nice.

However, I prefer something that folds smaller and is why I went with one of those that collapse into a round shape. Although they are not custom made for the windshield (windscreen), it does fit nicely in the door pocket for easy storage.

Yes, the round fold away fits the door pocket. Use the Jumbo, not the Super Jumbo. Convenient and fits well.

Mandyfigfig, where exactly do I buy the one you're suggesting (link) ? as I am having a trying time getting anything out of the US, as all the suppliers I have contacted will not ship to Australia...and I have just about given up on the idea.
We have many different types here however I was really after the custom fit type either in roll up or the UVS one. The ones over here are more the universal fit type.

The one US supplier that did sent me the bulkier UVS (ultraviolet heat shield) sent me one to suit the GX470 Lexus which was usless to me -way too small.
