Windshield Sun Shades
Yes, I’m aware that vendors have tailored shades.
Got a generic folding aluminum covered/padded shade for all of about $8. Cut it to fit and my wife seamed the edges with bias tape and presto, a great, insulated shade that folds up behind the passenger seat.
A real necessity in central TX. Don

Yes, $40-50 depending, not counting shipping costs. Appeals to my economical side. That much will pay for a full synthetic oil change done at home! Don

Since the C7 Sun Visors do not move forward far enough to hold sun shades to the windshield, how did you handle that issue?

I've run into one common problem with a few sunshades that I've found that say they are made for the Stingray:
They are not deep enough such that it fits under the new "small" visors in the new Stingray, which holds it in place against the window. The width is fine as it fits from side to side, but it's the depth that is the problem, as it sags in the middle and eventually falls down onto the dash.
I was hoping to find one with the new Corvette Logo on it, so that it is similar to this one, which I had for my C6: http://corvettec6collection.com/inde...un-shield.html
