For part of the year my C8 Z06 sits out in the he Florida sun , heaven forbid .
i had found, in 2002 ,a roll up interior windshield shade that fit great on my then new C5.
I have bought and returned 4 sunshades for the C8 from usually great providers. Weather Teck, Covercraft and 2 generics. All were too small and would not friction around the perimeter of the windshield and stay in place even the sun visors down.
i finally found a faded tag on the C5 . CoverKing! So one last try before I made own.
Took awhile to receive them . They fit perfectly.
So if you want or need to protect your C8 leather dash from shrinking and cracking alla
Ferrari , etc. I highly recommend Cover King.
Just trying to help.

Well I can tell you the Holla brand or whatever they call themselves with corvette V flags on white background fits terrible! It’s over priced and almost a waste of energy to put up. I own one so I know. It stays in the trunk cargo net 99% of the time. I’ve used it a couple times on over night trips.
Just inside the door at Costco are the displays of stuff you didn't come for that they try to tease you into buying. One day 8 maybe 9 years ago one of these come on's was a two pack of twist up sun shades. The silver reflective fabric type. A two pack size XL was $9.99. Stick a fork in me, I'm done. We used one for the C7. Fit great. One for an F150 pick up. Ditto the fit. Today, the original C7 shade soldiers on in the C8. The one first in the F150, then moved to a RAV4 is now in our Mazda CX5. Far sooner, all your fancy shades that are crazy expensive, sun fragile, and impossible to easily store will be the property of Waste Mgmt. While we are still doing the twist and shout.
I have CoverKing for my C8. It fits OK but not perfectly. You have to pull it up from the bottom of the windshield a little to make the visors hold it up and it sags at the mirror. But I didn't want to deal with suction cups which some of the other ones have that may fit better, I wanted it flexible enough to slip behind the passenger seat, and I didn't want to deal with the twist and fold ones.
I bought one from Cover Craft when it was on sale, it fits perfectly as it made just for C8 cars. I have used their sun shades on my other cars with no complaints.

+1. Picked one up during Black Friday 40% off sale. Fit is pretty good.
The Coverking one I have fits good. My only complaint is it is very thick cardboard and take up a lot of room in the trunk. I can’t take it in long trips when I have suitcases in there. Sam

The CoverKing shade I have is intended to be rolled up. I rolled it up and then flattened it so I can slide it behind the passenger seat.

I agree. I ordered a Cover King and it arrived today. I wanted it because it rolls up and is not a rigid screen. I have the rigid kind for my Acura MDX and it is awesome but it is rigid and folds into a flat piece that is maybe 2" thick. I figured the softer Cover King that rolls up would be better in the C8. The windshield being so raked is another reason why I wanted this type of shield. But that rake is also a reason it is a little saggy. As said before me, it has to be pulled up so that the visors will hold it in place and it leaves a little gap at the bottom. Also, because it is a roll-up screen, the ends want to roll inward. I ordered on May 30 and it arrived today, June 17. It was $50 plus $18 for shipping. Is it worth $68, I don't know, but it will definitely provide protection.
