Hi Gerf, I have a Covercraft shade that works very well. I have used mine for over 7 years and it's very durable. They are custom-fitted for make and model.

My dash survived 8 years of BRUTAL Southern CA desert summers using random sunshades from Costco. The last 3 years, I had front windshield tinted to 70%. The tint guy said it'll be like i parked under a shaded tree, well, he was a good salesman...LOL I'm sure it made a little difference in protecting interior from UV rays, but nothing noticeable for heat reduction.

Did you order the one "with the camera" specified? As I mentioned in an earlier post, I emailed Covercraft and took a picture, sent it to them, and they said to get that one, even though that's not a camera, but a sensor. Yours seems to fit better around the rearview mirror.

That’s odd. I’ve tinted my windshields for at leat 20 years. As tint improves, I put the better one on each newer car. Currently, have a UBER Optic nano film in a 70. It keeps the dash much cooler. Have lived in either South Florida or Charleston SC most of the time & the sun is rough there. For tint, ceramic or better is the rule.
@Gerf i received my covercraft last week & what a difference. Temps here are only in the low 100s at the moment, but I can feel a night & day difference w/ the new shade.

I ordered and just received my sunshade from Covercraft. I like everything about it. I just wish they offered a simple "slip" cover type storage case since it will spend alot of time in the trunk. Otherwise, a fine product.
