 |
|
Hello,
Having recently moved to a sunny state (Colorado), it turns out need to invest into some sun shades to protect my dashboard and such.
I have found that after a quick search on Amazon and didn't find a particular topic on this forum.
Does anyone have recommendation for specific models of sun shades or will that one do ?
Thanks

Good call on adding one to your van, especially with that strong CO sun. I haven't bought one for my EV yet, but I do have WeatherTech's sun shades for my sedan and wagon. Yeah, they're $50, but really nice and fit perfectly. I plan on getting one for the van before summer.

Thanks for the recommendations
The WeatherTech seems great quality, I just wish there were pictures of what it actually looks in the Eurovan
As for the Walmart one, my religion forbids me to shop there

Same here, I have never, nor will ever, spend a dime at Wal*Mart.
I just snapped a photo of the WeatherTech shade in my Mercedes 400E:
Being custom fit to the vehicle, it's a really snug fit - but I say that in a good way. The flip side is black, so if one lived in a state that had true winter conditions, you could flip it to bring more heat in the vehicle and to help defrost the windshield.
The only downsides is that it emits a very loud crinkly sound when it gets rolled up. And being rolled, it takes up a bit more space than the type that fold along pleats.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably order the Weather Tech soon
