Serious question: how does your $90-160 sun screen blocks the sun, or does a better job protecting the dashboard, better than my Walmart/Amazon $15 one? Mine covers the entire windshield and dashboard. Of course it's not custom cut, but still - it blocks everything.
The WeatherTech came in 6 pieces to cover all 6 windows. All pieces are a perfect fit to the corresponding window. Literally not a single ray of sunshine can make it past the shades except for maybe the windshield where there are small gaps around the rearview mirror.

I thought this might be a simple purchase. After looking around, it appears that Sunscreens for my dash are more expensive than I thought. $50-100.
Any of these better than others? All seem to. look the same.

This is what I bought. It is without a doubt one of the best buys I have made. Simple, cheap and fast install and take down. When folded back in its pouch, it fits in the drivers door pocket out of the way but easy to reach.

Interested... How is the coverage. Top-Bottom. Left-Right? Any chance for a photo?

Whenever I get a new vehicle, I order a Covercraft sunshade for it. Best quality and fit out there.

Here are a couple of pics. It is not a custom fit with it blocking all light at every side but it is fairly close. It has flaps on the sides that I could stretch out to do a better job, but I do not bother. I reach down to the drivers door pocket and unfold this in the windshield. Flip the sun visors down to push it closer to the windshield and go. Easy, fast and easy accessibility.

When I get back in the truck I flip the visors, undo the umbrella and stick it back in its pouch. In the door pocket it goes and I am off. No twisting or turning to reach it in the back, and I just got too old and fat for that. :(

Not as good as a covercraft or custom hard folder, but it works and it is easy.

On another note I checked out covercraft as that was my first option but they stopped making the silver colored ones. I would have like a blue one but it was no longer made.

That's what I have too. Think I used points to buy it. Works well but not compact or as quick as some of the ones listed here. Just OEM quality feeling.
Oh, I agree. I just enjoy being in my truck so I take my time deploying the quality OEM sunscreen ?

Same. I used points for it and although it does take up some space under the rear seat, I have used Covercraft shades in the past and I like the overall quality.

The cover craft is legit. It’s almost 1/2 thick it’s not just flimsy film
I have the covercraft shade and like the fit and sturdy construction. Only downside (other than cost) is it’s not easy to put up or take down. Especially to deploy.

I had that same issue with mine but after a few months of use I have no trouble its much more pliable and pops in in 2 seconds. Just gotta start with the bottom corners push down then lift the top in and she’s butter.
