I've tried a couple bought from WalMart and one from an auto parts store. Neither of them fit do to the small sun visors that are necessary to hold them in place.
Weathertech makes good stuff and I'm sure it fits fine. Had weathertech for other vehicles but not the vette. In general I would avoid a roll up shade as it will be a pain to install in tight quarters unless you always have a passenger to help unroll. I purchased the west cost fold-up and it's solid and easy to install/remove from the drivers seat and neatly stores on the deck behind the seats when off.
Most of the insulated folding accordion type sunshades (which are resold by Retailers) are produced by Covercraft (UVS100 Series) and can be purchased online for ~$55 (without printed Vette logos)...The Covercraft p/n is UV11325SV for C7 Corvette...
You can enter "UV11325SV" into search on either Ebay or Amazon or Google to find best price....
I've purchased Covercraft insulated sunshades for all my new vehicles and they hold up extremely well and keep the cabin fairly cool when parked out in the sun...A "must-have" here in the SoCal Desert area....
I bought a sunshade from Zips Corvettes for about $90 works great full coverage keeps interior cooler
I have the same sun shade. But egads! Wht's the ugly yellow sticker! And right in the middle of the windshield? I remember NJ had those ugly things. In California it's just a little sticker on your rear license plate.
Just an extra thought . . . if you have a Vert, the accordion style fits nicely in the trunk under the space reserved for the top--that's what I use. However, I think the roll-up types are easier to place and lighter--just take up more space when not in use.

We bought a high dollar logo'd hard panel accordion sun shade. From a reputable forum vendor. Looked mah va lus. It lasted a year +/- and it fell apart. Waste Mgmt now has custody of it. We bought a cheapie silver nylon twist up from Costco for $10. Now 2 years later, we still use it everyday. And so it goes.
anyone find a generic/universal windshield sun shade that fits well ?
It seems that the visors are smaller in the C7 vs. my previous C6, an easy fix is to add thin plastic squares to the top of the sun shade that fit underneath the visors keeping them secure and not visible from the outside of my C7. My Mylar generic shade still looks good from the outside and just needs the simple modification to keep it securely in place.

Exactly what I've used for decades on various Mercedes Benz I've owned, as well as my E450 RV's windshield. The one piece twist for one Mercedes, and the two separate pieces for the others. I always point the silver grey side outward. They twist up to store instantly.
I've not procured them for my C7 - yet. I thought I'd see if the two from my Mercedes Benz sedan fit, so I can get an idea of size needed.
***Is there a source for an external coverage sunshade? Since this wouldn't let the magnified rays of the sun even reach the glass. That would be ideal. For RVs, this type of sunshade is secured on either side, by the then closed front doors. Not sure I'd want to put too much of a thickness of material in between the C7's glass and A pillar.
