Front Window Shade

[onestogie]

If you’re looking for a front window shade, WeatherTech provides a great option. Selling for $59.99, item TS1027 fits the 2002 windshield perfectly.

I have the Covercraft UVS-100 sunshade (they make for the 2002) on mine... it’s hard backed, and folds vs rolls up like your Weathertech. I’ve had it almost 20 years.

Weather tech stuff is the bomb, great fit on everything. the only draw back is it's a bit expensive but worth it?

I want one! Or maybe it's a good winter arts-n-crafts project.

Im going to have to look into this! Mine I bought about 8 years ago to "fit a 3 series" is breaking down from all the folding I've had to do over the years to make it fit.

I, too, have the Covercraft UVS-100 sunshade for the 2002, E46s & E39.  They do a great job even if they are bulky vs. the roll-up style.

Thanks for sharing. Btw, I love your interior. It looks great. As for window shades, I use these ones https://snapshades.com.au/car-sun-protection-for-infants/. We decided to buy them when our baby was born. It was 3 years ago, so the window shades are still looking good. But, you know, the heat in Florida is still unbelievable. I’ve even had to buy a car cover. I heard that a dashboard can get melted because of the heat. Anyway, I hope we’ll go through it. Just drink a lot of water, stay in the shade and live your happy summer. BW

Thanks for reviving this 3-year old thread and thanks for the Covercraft recommendation back then.  I just ordered one as this is one of those low priority things I hadn't got to since buying my '74 tii a year ago.  But, having an uncracked original dash and living in the desert of eastern WA meant it was worth investing (spendy for sure) in a nice one of these sunscreens.  The Covercraft version reminds me of the factory accessory one I had with my '91 318is where the original owner seemed to have loaded up on every accessory possible.  I prefer (Covercraft) fold-up to (WeatherTech) roll-up.  Takes a while for them to create these, estimated ship date of Sept 6, but just glad they make them at all for our '02s.  Just wish they made one for my '73 Alfa Giulia Super, but no such luck.
