Silly question about window shades

[jkurzner]

Is there really any difference in the window shades used in the front windshield to protect the dash from the sun while we're at work, etc.? Any recommendations one way or the other?

Thanks

Hi Jeff.

The shades are made of so many different materials that the only reason to get a more "expensive" one is, basically, how long it will last, how easy it is to put on/take off. As for the rest, they all do their job well enough (as long as you ALWAYS put it on...).

take up much space when folded.

I think there's a definite quality & ease-of-use difference with custom-fit window shades, like the Covercraft UVS100 I use in my 02. Folds up small, installs quickly and is an exact fit for the 02's front windshield. Costs a bit more - but as is often said "you get what you pay for".

Where did you get your covercraft shades?

I got mine a Griot's Garage (they have both a catalog & online store). It was $45 or so. Mine has lasted 3 years already and still looks new. I think it's well worth the money...
