It rolls up, which I like better than the ones that fold flat.
Same here. I had a folding one and after two days of fighting it I returned it. Reminded me of folding a paper map but stiffer and thus more cumbersome.
Not sure what brand I got but I had to add velcro to my roll up to make sure it stayed in place, the sun visors aren't bigger enough. Also the strap which keeps it closed up was backwards so once again velcro to the rescue.
I’ve had my Coverking sunshade since 2013. It’s by far the best sunshade I’ve owned. It’s very well made and easy to use. It folds easily and has not torn or cracked at the folds like lesser quality shades often do. The only bad thing I’ve noticed is fading to the red color in the Corvette crossflags. I recommend these sunshades. They’re worth every penny.
I bought one from Costco on sale - $28(?)
It fit fine until my windshield was replaced (warranty), now it fits loosely.
Often, it will drop out and set off the alarm.
I can order one from Costco and it is at quite a reduced price compared to other places.....so was kinda hesitant. But maybe will go ahead anyway. I had ordered a vehicle cover for my previous C5 from Costco and it was excellent so............................
Anyone use or have an opinion of the COVERKING brand of windshield sunshade? I want to use what 'might' be best for keeping heat out.
If you really are interested the "best" way if reducing heat and UV inside the cabin you should seriously consider 3M Automotive Window Film Crystalline windshield tint. You can put this stuff on the front windshield as long as the light transmittance is 70 percent. That's Federal law. Your other windows can use light transmittance levels as high as your state allows. This stuff is great at reducing heat and harmful UV rays and unlike a sun shade, it works all the time. A sun shade is only working when you're not driving.

I have the Costco one and it is excellent. The main reason it's much cheaper is because it doesn't include the C7 logo.

I can't see why replacing the windshield would change the fitment. They are designed around the interior frame.

I have the same thought, but never the less - it fits loosely now and falls out of place easily, even after much fussing and manipulating, trying to get a good friction fit.
It's an irritating 1st World Problem, I tell you
