PFYC (Forum Vendor) sells a nice one that is a custom fit. That's what I use.

One of those shiny Mylar waffly things from Walmart. Doesn't fit unless you bend in the last fold, but its cheap and it works great.
BTW they are also great for sitting on on cold stadum seats at football games. Great insulator...

I use the Covercraft UVS100 window shields www.covercraft.com/windshield_heat_shield.htm for all our vehicles since 1993.

None. I've lived in New Mexico (Albuquerque & Las Cruces) for over 26 years - that's LOTS of sun - and never used one. Never will either. They look terrible and are awkward in every possible way. I've never experienced any "sun-related" problem. Each to their own, huh?
