I gotta say this new Covercraft sunshade is awesome! It helps so much with the sun. The dashboard is much cooler now and the A/c can cool the car much faster. I highly recommend it to anyone living in a southern state.

The fitment isn’t perfect. It could be better around the mirror, but It still an excellent job of keeping the heat out of the cabin.

I work with guys that have that "one size fits all" sunshades for their trucks. They look sloppy and don't fit but I guess they work well enough. Your sunshade looks snug in comparison.

One guy looks like he grabbed some cardboard and taped it together lol. I'll try to remember to take a pic Monday at work.

I used a cheap autozone one before this one and it was way too big for the windshield. It worked well enough for a few years. It turned to soft mush and would no longer stay up recently so I ordered this.

I had been meaning to order the Covercraft one for years but never did until the crappy one failed.

I need to order another one. Somehow the one I bought like yours for my Tesla disappeared somehow, someway (maybe after it was in the body shop last summer) so I’ve been using a generic roll up one I had for my old IS that was laying around. I’ve been too lazy to get off my butt and order one but you gave me that push I needed. I will order one tonight!

I have one of those covercraft covers for my truck. It's pretty good.

Yeah. I sure do.

I really hate engines bays that look cheap or like a disaster. Was looking at cars today.



a simply plastic cover for this mess would be much appreciated
