Default So first world problem question: creased covercraft sunshade

So I ordered them on Amazon it arrived with the box creased, lo and behold it’s also creased inside. I messaged as soon as I got it, they made it right. However I ain’t buying another how do I make it nice lol

I don't think that you can. Kinda like the crease in cardboard. I use the circular wire-type covers. They have their own issues, like folding them into the smaller put-away position. But, you get good at it over time.

I agree the type with 2 circular wire's joined by fabric are the most convenient. The trick is to get the right size. Too big or too small, they fall out of the windshield. When not in use I fold and stuff mine between the passenger seat and center counsel. It takes only a few seconds once you get the hang of it. Your passengers may get whacked in the face but they will soon learn to lean out of the way

I have 5 of the covercraft sunshades and they are not cheap but they are the best. 1 2010 LS 460L, 1 2006 SC 430, 1 2005 SC 430, 1 2007 Ford 500 SEL and the 1990 Bronco II. I would have returned it for a full refund and called covercraft directly. They are in OK and you can get them at 800-426-8377. I just received my 5th one last week for my 1990 Ford Bronco II. Matching color to boot. Great company to work with. And by the way I agree with chuyrobles there is nothing you can do to make it pretty again.

Ha,ha. My wife struggles with the wire type, she can never fold them right. She has the fold-up type for her Lexus. I find them bulky.

Amazon agreed to a refund without having to return which is good form on their part, but seeing how I have ship it here and it’s hard to say who exactly is responsible for the damage, I’m
kind of leary of purchasing this again. Id have to pay extra to have the item inspected upon arrival etc. the issue it seems is that the item is not sufficient packed they need to use those bags of air. Or it could be the re-shipper *******s who can say but I had the shipping insured just in case.

Give Covercraft a call at the 800 number I provided. All of mine ordered directly from covercraft came via FedX very well packaged with no damage at all. Give them a call ask the lady in customer service if she can hook you up with free shipping or maybe even a 10 percent discount. That is what I got on the Bronco II shade. They are the best.
