it would be nice if they made a fitted sunshade for our cars. i use a generic one i bought from autozone and it fits like ***. too wide but not tall enough. if anything, i think its reflecting heat back into the car. my dash crack started getting bigger AFTER i started using it

Not sure who made it, but I have a fitted shade. A buddy bought it from the dealer when he bought his car new, and I got it from him when he sold the car.

I have a fitted shade also. There are places out there that make them to fit your vehicle. They cost more than the universal ones, but fit the windshield perfectly.

I have one from Afterthoughts.
I love it.
Fits great, really is so much better than the universal ones. Worth the investment, IMO.
