Sunshield Suggestions?

Carolinaboy · 01-26-2012, 07:06 AM

Well spring is coming and we are already seeing temps in the high 70s. I am a big believer in using the sun shields on the windshield during the day while at work. I use a good bit of Leather Conditioner on my dash for the SPF factor

But my biggest problem is my cheap wal-mart one isn't stiff anymore and it doesn't fit my big F150's WS. I don't wanna spend like $50 or anything. But would like a decent sunshield that will fit the WS.

Any Ideas?

Have you searched for a model specific one?

Yeah I found this one but it rolls up instead of folding like an accordion style

Cheaper than $50!

I have the model specific one for my G8 and MAN I love it!!! Fits like a glove. Takes up a bunch more room than the twist ones, but the protection is MUCH better. I bought it off amazon.

Yep, some guys on another forum suggested the two piece ones. Because the roll up into a smaller area

I had this same issue as it can get rather hot in august here in kansas city. I couldn't find one that was happy with. SO i went to the next best thing and I tinted the windshield 35% and couldn't be happier.. No tickets yet!

Carolinaboy · 01-26-2012, 03:43 PM

OH the 35% will happen as soon as I get a new WS. Mine is pretty scratched up

Just gonna do this in the mean time

That helps with the heat though?
