I've used ones from this company in a lot of vehicles for a number of years:
https://www.covercraft.com/us/en/pro...m-sunscreen.UV
They fit great, and most of all have a decent foam/rigid construction so they don't sag like the roll up or cheap ones do. Takes a bit of practice to put up and take down the first few times, but over time I can toss it up/down in seconds.
Almost forgot! They are all custom fitted, just look up make/model/year. WAY better than a "one size fits nothing"......

those sun shields work very well and fit the windshield area perfectly.

I've been using a $15 shade from AutoZone (this one IIRC) on a C6 and two C7s for about the last 10 years. When fully extended its a bit large for the C7 but I fold one of the end sections in, and although fitment isn't perfect it does the job and has been durable. It will not pass muster for those who place a high value on cosmetic appeal, however, but does do a good job of keeping the sun off the dash and the interior much cooler. Can take a pic of it installed if anyone is interested.

^^^ Me too! I still use a folding sun shade that I bought 30-40 years ago for my MGB. I've been using it in my C5 & C7 for the last 21 years . Works fine with one fold on each side closed.. Fits nicely behind the seats in front of the cargo shade.

Recommended windshield sun shade
I have used this one on my last 2 Corvettes, and highly recommend it. It is available from Amazon for about $16 and folds into a very compact shape.
