I bought the round ones from Mid America. They are very easy to use and store.....both fold into about a 12" circle and go in a little pouch.

I use one mainly when it's warm outside.... it helps keep the interior protected and cooler.

I've got one of those cheap ones that I bought at Costco for about $10. It folds up into itself leaving a small package about 14" in diameter. I keep it behind the passenger seat. Works okay....

I use one of those silver mylar ones that fold up small enough to toss in the back. It really helps in the hot TX sun all summer.

I have a Covercraft Ultraviolet Shield that I bought a long time ago from Ecklers. I use it all the time. Part number is 34408 and it folds up into a nice package. Its a heavy duty piece that really fits well.

I have the one(s) that are two rounded squares that twost up for storage. Fit behind the passenger seat and are VERY easy to put up and take down.

Make a BIG difference in the interior temp during the summer

Hey vetdude,
I tried to respond to your PM but an error message came up saying you have exceeded your stored message capacity and need to delete. Anyway, I got it at Walmart for $6.99. It's called "Dragon Eyes". Get the large size, not jumbo. I folds easily into an 8" circle and stores neatly behind the passenger seat. Good Luck!!!!

Click on auto sunshades. These are very high quality. Same materials they use on their aircraft sunshades. They cover all the C5's.
