Default Need Windshield Sunshade...

Does anyone know if there is a passable sunshade for my '01 vert that I can just pick up at an auto parts store or Walmart? I'm going out of town tomorrow and need to leave the car at the airport while I'm gone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I picked up my collapsible shade at O'Reilly's. It's a two piece that twists into a circle about 12" across for easy storage behind the passenger seat.

It looks like this: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...word=sunshades

That's damn sure something we need here in Texas about 11 months of the year ! I'm going to go check it out also.

You've got that right. That shade was one of the first things I bought for my car. It's a great fit too.

I've gone through 3 sun shades in the last 12 years. I use the collapsible ones that fold up. They are very in-expensive and stuff behind the passenger seat. A couple of years ago I replaced my seat covers (not because of the sun but the originals always sucked) and had a rear pocket installed - so now the sunshade has a place to go.

If you have to have it by tomorrow, about your only choice is one from the auto parts stores.
