I bought a universal one for like $4 from some random store and it attaches to my windshield by a suction cup on the top corners and it works perfectly fine. Is there a reason why you guys are spending that much on a sunshade? Am I missing something? What else can I spend money on? LOL

YES! Absolutely. Products like the ones from Covercraft protect and cool way more than the cheap stuff. They also have a better fit.
"The Original Covercraft UVS100 Sunscreen has been a customer favorite for decades! These unique sun shades are made to fit your exact windshield specific to the Year/Make/Model of your vehicle. With a perfect fit to your windshield, you get maximum interior protection from harmful UV rays and damaging heat.
Unlike other flimsy sun shades, heat shields, or UV shields our Custom UVS100 Sunscreens use a thick foam core with a triple laminate construction and a soft felt backing. This means that you get superior insulation that reflects and absorbs heat to dramatically reduce the interior vehicle temperatures.
The unique design of our Custom Sunscreens allows them to be easily folded up when not in use perfect for compact storage. This makes it easy to fold up and stow behind your seat without fear of it getting stepped on. Our Original UVS100 is available in a few colors to give your vehicle a unique look.
Keep your interior looking like new, prevent fading and cracking, and reduce the heat build-up in your vehicle with the Best-Fitting Custom Sunscreen. Perfect for the driveway, work, beach, or even for long term parking at an airport.
Note: Our Custom Sunscreens block out almost all light & UV rays that enter your front windshield, but due to the angle of some windshields there could be a slight gap around your rearview mirror or sides to allow the sun sunscreen to fit without damaging the foam core that is crucial to insulating your vehicle."

the covercraft takes up a lot of space and are mildly unwieldly
the springy metal ones are compact when stored but are very unwieldly when you unspring it
the fold up soft foil ones look like a dollar store special
they're all evil...

I wish that Cee Bailey still manufactured auto sun shades.
I appreciated the sun shade that I bought and used for a 2005 4Runner.
I like the shades for the driver and passenger front side windows.
I will buy a high quality sun shade for the front windshield and try to find the best option I can for the driver and passenger front side windows.

I use the Covercraft windscreen sunshade, the (UL) rear window screen, and keep the rear seat compartment window screens up to save the upholstery in the rear. All windows except driver and passenger are covered...

I found these shades online that do provide coverage for front driver and passenger side windows. The company that sells them allows you to enter the year, make, and model of the vehicle for which they will be used.
