Default Stingray sun shade

Anyone recommend a nice sun shade for our Stingrays? Looking for a quality product that stows easy. I had the two-piece shades for my C6. Unfolded easily and stowed behind the seats. Thanks.

If you have a 2 or 3LT with the motion sensor, make sure it doesn't fall down while you're at work or it will set off the alarm. Ask me how I know...

I got one of the ones that are "custom made" for the C7. Today, the first 95 degree day of the year, the whole thing slid down from under the visors. Very disappointing (and expensive.) I think the only thing that will work is the stiff folding kind. The stiffness will allow the visors to trap the shield even though there is a 2" gap between the visor and the windshield. And it won't sag in the heat. Trick is to find one that fits.

I got the factory two piece cargo shade that came with the 2LT package. You should be able to order it as an accessory.

Lightweight, and will stow in the rear storage compartment.

Mine do not have the logo, but look the same as these.

I have a heatshield as well which sags terribly in the middle. The visors are too short to provide any support. Pretty disappointed.

Bought one from them also,covered the windshield but would not stay in place,visor to short to hold.

Solution: bought a pool noodle cut in to 3 pieces to hold the sunshade in place.Roll the noodles up in the sunshade when not in use.R

I've found that if you cram the sunshade up under the visors there is enough grip to hold the shade up. (Although I don't know if it will be enough when we start getting 100+ degree days a month from now.) It does expose a couple inches of the dash at the bottom, but it doesn't affect the shades function much. I still think a stiff shade, or one with suction cups, may be better. I'll try just about anything to salvage my $30 "investment" in a fitted shade...

My pool noodles hold the Intro-Tech Sunshade CH 907R custom fit for C-7
best fit sunshade,but yes the visor will not hold it.The pool noodles do the job but maybe 3 suction cups is a better idea attached to the sunshade
will try this option.R

Bringing this back to life...
Bought an Intro-Tech CH-907-R corvette shade - Ultimate Reflector Sun Shade - from https://www.autoaccessoriesgarage.com/ It's too tall so it doesn't fit inside the windshield surround which means it's inches away from the glass at the top so the heat will soak in. The shade should fit against the windshield glass but it doesn't. Gonna return this and look for another.

This is how it should fit but it's too long/tall...

Intro-Tech CH-907-R, I am able to deal with the height...Mine is too wide! Instead of returning it, I recycled the shipping box before check fitting, I had to cut 1 end ~2" to make it fit flat.
I am very disappointed, due to I have 1 for my other 2 cars and the fit is PERFECT on both, but not this one for my C-7!
