Sun Shields

I am looking for Front windshield sun screen/shield for my Vette. One that does not fall down after you walk away from the car and can really block the heat. Any Ideas?

Southern Car Parts sells one. I bought one from a different vendor for 40 bucks, no Vette logo, but hey, it works, which is all that matters.

I prefer the cockpit cover, it goes on the outside, but make a world of difference... Just my 2 cents...

This is, by far, the best product available. Made by CoverKing; Several vendors sell them; with & without the logo.

I've had mine since the day it came out for the C-6 and it works great!

Now, I need to find something that fits over the top when the roof is off and in the back and you leave the car for awhile. I'm using a beach towel now, but it seems to drop onto the seats.

Canvasworks makes a really nice windshield heat shield. I have one for the C6 as well as my Camaro SS. It's cut to the exact shape and dimensions of the windshield and fits nice and snug. Turning the visors down is extra insurance against sagging. It's a nice product, lasts for years.

I've had this one for almost 3 years, works great.

This just keeps the seat cool.

Thanks Jeff!!! I had forgotten about that thread.

I'm going to email them to see if that $27.95 is for both seats or individually.

I just use one of the ones with the metal loops and fabric that you fold up. But not the one that is two separate pieces, the one that is connected in the middle. Stays in place well and best of all it is cheap.

I use one of these also, and they are excellent UV protection due to the fit. I am a little suspect that any of these products keep the interior "40 degrees cooler". That may work up in Saskatchewan, but I can assure it doesn't work in Florida.
