Default Windshield sun shade?

What sun shade do you use in your windshield when you park under the sun?

I just bought a folding, silver-reflective sun shade from a local auto parts store....it fits the C6 perfectly.

Yes, those seem to be good. This is probably a good choice:

Default Custom sunshades

The Eckler's sunshade is made by Covercraft. I've used Covercraft custom sunshades for years now and have always had one for each of my cars. They do tend to fall apart after constant use and time but the fit and finish are excellent. If you like the Eckler's and want one for your other cars, go to the Covercraft web site to check for applications.

I end up preferring HeatShield:

It's a high-tech mylar silver-coated film over a robust foam-core substrate that reflects a loth of energy. It rolls neatly for storage and is wrapped with a velcro strap. I've used it in other cars and their custom fit is superb.

The Jumbo sized mylar folding shade from Walmart (or just about any auto parts dealer) for less than $15. Fits fine top to bottom but you have to fold in two panels left to right.

Actually I'd like to find one that has the "Cars" eyes on it. That would look I think...
Like this but not with red:

Been using a roll-up reflective windshield screen from Canvasworks. They are custom fit to each car model's windshield dimensions.
