Did anybody buy a front windshield sunshade? If yes can you post which one you bought?

I saw the following on ebay sold by grubbs infiniti

http://www.ebay.com/itm/330735298955?item=330735298955&viewitem=&vxp=mtr#ht_803wt_1163

It has a infiniti logo, but I am not sure if it is a genuine infiniti accessory. If anybody has a better sunshade please post.

Does anybody have any experience with this sun shade as well?

This is the one I've used for my cars dating back to the late 90's and they've done a great job. I find the accordian fold easier to deal with than rolling it up. I'm waiting for them to make a custom fit for the JX. In the meantime, I use the 2005 MDX one from our last vehicle and fits OK but not great.

Good thread. Let us know if you guys find one that fits well.

If you park in the sun, such as on the streets or at a shopping mall lot, on a sunny summer day. I can get up to something like 145F. Using the sunshade in my tinted Infiniti G sedan keeps it from getting more than 20F or so higher than the ambient air temperature.

Since there wasn't too many other choices and per claims on the manufacturers's website and the pictures this one seemed to be of good quality, I bought this yesterday.

Will update this post on how good it is after I get it.

I went ahead and ordered the one mentioned above from autoaccessoriesgarage.com. The good: well made, high quality materials. The bad: It doesn't provide anywhere near the "exact fit" claimed. There is about an inch of space on each side between the shade and the edge of the windshield, and about an inch of space on top. Plus there is about an 8x10 open space near the rear view mirror to make it easier to put on/take off, which could be reduced or elimiated. For almost $60 it should fit like a glove and have no spaces to let the sun shine through. Thinking of sending it back

Hm... So that one is out of the question. I want one the fits perfectly or there is no point of getting it.

Never is such a strong word...how can you avoid the sun that easily, I'm curious?

Winfin is a vampire and only drives at night, getting back in the garage before sunrise!

update: I have used this for a few days now and my original negative comments may have been overstated. Although there are small gaps that let sun through the thing does keep the car much cooler than the cheap one I had been using. I think this is due to the thermal layer on the inside I decided to keep it.

I agree with ivoidwarranties comments. The quality is pretty decent. But there are many gaps. But I thought that even with the gaps my car was a lot cooler after parking in the sun. So I am going to hold on to it.

Then why the heck are you even responding?

Y? I do on all my cars...at least 50% for some kind of UV protection.

This is illegal in all 50 states, however 50% is very low. The popo probably never notice.

I stay in the very minor gray area of the law. Law enforcement can still see me and my passenger(s). Even after being pulled over a few times, I have never encountered an issue.

I'm tired of my ill-fitted sunscreen and would like to buy a good replacement. I'd also like to spend less than $60, like the one referenced from autoaccessoriesgarage. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the additional feedback. I decided to get this sunshade, everything else seems cheap or doesn't seem to fit.
