Windshield Sun Shade Recommendations

[Joey]

Looking for a good quality sun shade that actually works & is not a POS, have a couple now that just plain stink, want great windshield coverage in a easy to store package.

Anybody ever try the weather tech one, that looks interesting with the side and rear shades, but doubt id ever use the rear window shade, plus it’s got to be a pain in the ass to store

Instead of sun shade I just went with Front Windshield Ceramic Tint 50%. Front doesn't get as hot and still same visibility at night.

We are on our 2nd replacement windshield now & before the end of the summer will need a 3rd, between rock chips and everything else, just do not want to deal with tinting the windshield like that.

That’s illegal in my state. But a ceramic clear will cut the heat just as well. And 50% tint is for sure not the same visibility at all, it is literally 50% of light transmission.

I have the Weathertech entire vehicle set. They're decent quality, the fit is excellent but it is a pain in the ass putting them in and out. I usually just put them in if I know the truck will be sitting more than a few days. When rolled up it I can stuff it under the back seat.

I've used this one for 3 years, still looks new (have been buying them since I can't remember when every time we add a new car):

In AZ this brand HeatshieldStore worked well,
Kept the interior much cooler than other products Iv'e tried
I only purchased for the windshield and the 2 front doors
...a little pricey for the whole set

I've had this sunshield for ten years now and it has held up as good as the day I bought it. Ordered to vehicle year and make and fits my windshield like a glove! Looks like the company changed from Canvas Works to https://www.heatshieldstore.com/ but has the same HEATSHIELD logo and looks like the same construction as mine.
