Default Free Windshield Sun Shade

I ordered a sun shade for our 24 LC but. when it arrived it was slightly bent. I contacted the merchant and they sent me another one and did not ask for the bent one back. it is still very usable. If anyone wants it, let me know.

If you're located near the bay area, I'd be very interested.

I'm in Oklahoma, but if you want to send me a UPS or FedEx label, I'll ship it to you.

As a side comment, both of my vehicles came with exactly that kind of sun-shield, and I HATE them. Not only heavy, but they don't cover very well, and are a PITA to put on and off. In case anybody else is like me, I always order from these guys: https://www.heatshieldstore.com/car-...us-lc500-coupe No affiliation at all, and you can buy them for ALL windows (including the roof glass opening), if you want. Always a perfect fit, and much easier to install and store. They specialize in aircraft insulation, so even though they're much thinner than the bulky stock accessory, they reflect heat much better. With that heavy thing, I actually burn my hands in hot days. Hope this helps somebody.

Awesome that you're offering it up to this community👍🏽 Do visors need to be down to keep it in place or can shade lay against it to stay up? I like the clean lines of the covercraft but do not want to keep flipping visors down to hold it up. Had to replace visors on other vehicles, cannot stand 'visor sag'.

I'm not sure on the visors. I haven't put it in yet. On our Jaguars, which came with the same ones, the visors need to be down to hold it in place.

Yeah, that's the other thing I don't like about those heavy sunscreens; you ALWAYS have to put the visors down. The Sunshields I linked above, they're so tight fitting they always hold themselves in place by just pushing them against the edge of the windshield. And cover 100% of the windshield with visors up, so great fit. They're not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

That'd be nice! Any ideas on how much shipping this package might cost? Let me DM you my zip.

Curious why you opt for the sunshade versus a clear UV film. I do this on every car I get here in Florida on the front window and my dash is never hot.

Didn't know that existed. I mainly use the one in our F-Type. It has a full leather dash and I don't like the sun beating on it. All of our cars aren't outside very much. They're just toys so I'm not using these sun shades every day. Usually only 6 or 8 times a year.

check with your local window tint place, I got my wifes Tahoe done for around $125 a few months ago. Most use 3M or Suntek, Here is the SunTek info if you like to research:

Cool, thanks for the info. All my front windshields are tinted with ceramic tint. I wonder if that accomplice's the same thing.

Depending on w/c ceramic tint you have it should have about 60-70% heat rejection already. Not sure the extra 20-30% more is worth replacement costs.

I don't think it would be. And, as mentioned above, its not out in the sun everyday.

The maximum you can get is reportedly 66%, and it's super expensive. Most likely it's a lot less than that, so it's always better to use a sunshield when under the sun, especially in hot climates.
