Sunshade recommendations?
 

It's getting hot in Texas, so I'm looking to get a sunshade for the front window of my CX-5.

Amazon shows 2, the OEM one and one made by Heatshield.

Any experiences with either one or a good recommendation on another?

The OEM works great for us in hot and sunny south Florida. Its not at compact a rolled up flexible one, but it completely seals the whole windshield.

I have a retractable one from Pepboys, $24.99 so you can find it cheaper than online. It works great and is so easy and I don't have to store or fold up the ones you place on the windshield. It makes a huge difference in the temperature of the car especially with the black interior. Just make sure to install it high enough on the window so it does not rub or scratch the dash area, I had to peel off the stickers and buy more tape to re-do it. 2 things I would change are rounded edges and the clips in clear plastic. I trimmed the area around the mirror so it would fit better but would have been ok without cutting.


Dash Designs, Inc. The Shade

This is the one I use with no problems

Guy on ebay is selling custom cut wind shades for the CX-5 for $19. Makes them for many cars. Believe he is in California. Works great.
