Now that its 111 in SoCal I might just pick one up for the extra comfort effect.

How did the windshield tint work out? I had scheduled an appointment in July to do my windshield but then chickened out due to fear of the tint laws, even if it would be imperceptible tint. On the demo unit my hand could feel a significant difference in radiant heat, but how was the final product once on your car?

Default Sunshades for the FRONT of the car

I searched the forum and only saw the rear and side shade discussions.

What does everyone recommend for the front?

Plenty of options on Amazon. I know NOTHING about sunshades.

I bought this one, it is EXTREMELY effective. It's definitely well-built, with probably double the density of those you find in Walmart or Autozone.
Do these fit on 07 ?

I bought the Covercraft one from Amazon too. It's good quality and helps keep the car cooler in direct sunlight. I got it in blue to match my car.

I don't use a sunshade but instead had LLumar Air 80 heat-reduction film installed on the windshield. https://northamerica.llumar.com/auto...ow-tint-series

It seems to work pretty well, although not as well as a real sunshade would.

I have 50% ceramic window tint on the windshield & still use a foldable style sunshade.
sunshade only works while your car is stationary.

I'm a big fan of the Covercraft accordion style ones. I bought it on Amazon as well. I bought one for my Tundra for half the price just because of the blue color. They are usually around $50-$60. I believe and I got the one for my Tundra for $27 if I chose the blue color.

What is the easiest to take down? One that rolls up or folds down? Is there even an option?

Fold up is much easier to put up & take down. You don’t have to worry about it curling up on you & is better in my opinion.
Also it’s practically flat once folded, you can put away in trunk or on rear deck if you have a car packed with people & things.

I use the CoverStar window shade for both my LS600hL and my SC430. They are custom fitted to my cars, come in many colors, and are extremely well made and durable. They are a bit pricey as I recall ($50 each?), but it's worth it to me to spend $50 to protect my $7K leather dashboard. They fold up very neatly and store in the back seat.

I bought mine from Heatshield they are and fit perfectly in all 3 cars I have had them for
https://www.heatshieldstore.com they are made by a company that makes aircraft covers.
Super high quality and keeps the interior nice and shaded and cool.

Can you share the link? I only get pool covers when I search Coverstar. Thanks
