cool, I've checking to see what I should get. I got a few $10 ones, but after a couple years or so, they kinda disintegrates ...

 

Take this from someonenwho has both, ME, I have both...the roll up one from Sewell and the accordian Covercraft.

Here is an honest PRO CON of both.

Sewell Roll up style...

PROS
Perfect Fit
Looks good
Heavy Duty Quality (MUCH heavier quality than autozone type shades)
Nice Velcro strap
Less expensive

CONS
Very stiff and hard to roll up
Annoying to a passenger as you try to roll it up
Bulky when in the rolled position.
Moves your rear view mirror EVERY time when putting in and taking out.

Covercraft Accordian

PROS
Perfect Fit
Looks good
Easy to put up (faster than roll type)
Easy to take down (faster than roll type)
Great Quality
Will NOT touch or move your mirror at all
Thinner when folded down
Lays very flat and thin when folded down
Fits easily behind the drivers seat.
Slide everything together toward the driver side and it NEVER affects your passenger

CONS
More expensive
Everyone who gets in your car asking you..."where did you get that sunshade?"

Summary

I bought the roll type from Sewell because I thought, it will fit well. The first day I had it, I loved it, but couldn't stand the rolling of it. After day 3 I searched online for the accordian style. I have the same accordian in my MINI and love it. Got it from MINI and paid more for the logo on it.

So, found plenty of Covercraft on Amazon and EBay. Ordered it and now I could not be any happier.

I know everyone will have their own pros and cons, but this is just how I summed it up.

The Sewell roll up, great product, but in the end the convenience, speed of up/down in window and not having to adjust my mirror EVERY time in the car made me spend more money on the right product.

Hope this helps!

Anyone who may want the Sewell roll up type that I have can PM me and I can try to work up a price.

 

Roll up from Lexus dealership. Got it free with my points . I've had it for 4 years . Still looking good.

 

I really think we're talking two different things here...

My Sewell sunshade takes seriously 5-10 seconds to put up or down and doesn't move my mirror even slightly.

Folding is another 5 seconds. (folding not rolling)

I took a video of my folding it from open to closed.... it's 6 seconds long. The folding is done at 4.

I don't even use the strap, it stays folded on its own. Then drops easily right behind either front seat.

 

resurrecting an old thread, but I also want to see what people have on now.


Currently using the official Disney Cars sun shade from Japan
Its a little big, but I am in the market for one that fits better, what else do you guys have?

 

I have the cover craft accordion style shade. Just like the one on the first page minus the Lexus logo. Best sunshade, no question

 

 

I like the heatshield one. I'll be ordering mine shortly.

 

need a new one as well. walmart one sucks

 

Covercraft ftw

 

Nice! Didn't know they offered an OEM sunshade.

 

I bought the heatshield version from Amazon. The stiffness is actually it's appeal as it holds it's place without having to use the visors. When I first got the sunshade it would move my mirror but that was only because I didn't really want to bend the sunshade. I've bent it in that area a few times now so it's really flexible and it doesn't mess with my mirror. I roll and unroll it on the windshield between 5-10 seconds so it's not really a hassle.

I haven't tried the accordion version so I can't really say if it's better.

 

Ive had both and I def prefer the accordion style a lot better.

Much easier to use and looks more classy, unlike the cheap chrome/shiny look of the heat shield and similar types of sunshades

 

I think I'm going to buy a covercraft and slap a Club Lexus vinyl on it lol. $50 bucks is a bit steep for a sun shade but I think it will be worth it in SoCal weather

 

I have the covercraft one, it's awesome. A lot better at keeping out the heat than generic/poor fitting ones
