I'm considering getting tint done on windshield....but a sunshade is still nice to have.
Anyone try the Weathertech?

I've had the Covercraft ones on numerous vehicles. They look and fit great. The only downfall, is storage. They are large and rigid, so they take a lot of room while not in use.

If you want, I could pour water down your dash and charge way less than the tint shops.

I've got the one that's actually two separate peices, and they fold up into a circle, kind of like those pop-up tents. Takes up way less room than the normal folders. They "pop down" into about a 10" circle and I just stuff them in the pocket behind the passenger seat. I think I got it from one of the Auto Parts stores, but Walmart, Amazon etc all have them.

Btw, I bought a covercraft sun shade and it arrived defective. I contacted covercraft about the defect and did not get a good response. They make you pay to return their defective item. I found out that Auto Anything sells covercraft at a slight discount and does have good customer service. They pay to return a defective item. I would order covercraft from Auto Anything.

I have a WeatherTech which has stood the test of time, Texas heat/humidity, and my dog running all over it in the back of the cab when I forgot it was there. They are stout but roll up into a nice roll that's easy to tuck under the rear sear when it is folded up. It's the best $59 I've spend on a sunshade and that was 3-1/2 years ago and still look good.

This is the type I have used for years. I had one for my 2004 QC and I use the same one for my 2017 Crew. Folds up and stores right under the backseat. Mine is more of a foil type reflective than the silver/grey shown. But I have the one pictured below that I use for my wife's SUV. Mine is about 15 yrs. old now.

I own the WeatherTech shade. 4 years of Georgia heat and many trips to Florida and it still has held up like new. In fact, it’s seen in my avatar.

pretty sure that is the one i sent back. didn;t cover very well. left too much, around the edges, for my tastes.

I got the UVS100 and am very happy with it. almost 5 yrs now and still looks new.
it is thicker, so I fold it all up, then unfold, it at the center and place it under my rear seat. fits jsut fine and seat completely covers it up if using fold flat floor, I fold shade, completely and stick behind my rear seat head rests.
