Driver side sun shade/blocker options
What do you guys recommend to use to block the damaging sun uv rays?
I need something I can install for the driver's window.
I dont want tinting as it doesn't block too much.
Something like this perhaps?

I dont like those magnetic stickers. Is there any other option?

Man I'm confused. You don't want proper tinting but you're entertaining a $20 product on Aliexpress. And just for one window?
I think most of us would have you reconsider the tinting option. I did, and not only does it significantly cut down heat, but it looks killer. In my severely biased opinion, of course.

You are not wrong. Why not both? Tint + $20 curtain

Ceramic tint all the way. Won't be nearly as obstructive for your view and makes the car look better. In the summer when parked I have window sunshades for the front seats. My backseats have a dog seat cover and are rarely used.

If the issue is solely UV rays, the standard tempered glass should block most of it, i forget the %. if it's the laminated glass, it's pretty much 98-99%. at that point just get a tint on either if you want closer to 100%. if you want absolute 100%, just stay home. LOL.
for me i just got the top of the line for all windows, was about 1k
