What sun guard do you use?

Sunshield bought here at PriusChat Shop. Custom form fitted and insulated. The button for the shop is at top of the page. 6 years later still looks good. Worlds best window shield.

Supports this site also.

 

I had one. Used it for several years. Lost it. Bought another. 'Nuf said.

 

I bought one for $4 from Autozone made for 'compacts' when I had my Civic. It fits my Prius fine.

 

The Sunshield mentioned here is terrific - excellent fit, does a tremendous job blocking out the windshield. It is, however, bulky and unwieldy. Not difficult to install, but somewhat annoying to uninstall and roll back up, and it takes a considerable amount of space compared to smaller, collapsible, inferior ones.

While it IS the best sunshade I've ever owned, and I am not about to get rid of it... it is NOT a good sunshade if you have to do a bunch of quick getaways.

That said, you do own a Prius. So you're probably not in the getaway biz.

 

I have all the sunshades (all around). Little triangular side windows are strange, but work. I just replaced the front windshield shade. Worst thing about these shades are the "suction cup" holders. The hatch sunshade holders ripped off in the first use (and I was being gentle). The sunshades work great, but the car still heats up in summer from heat absorbed through the roof.

The latest front windshield sunshade is a significant improvement over the previous one obtained in 2007.

 

I liked my custom fit Prius sun shade so much, I cut it into two shades for the left side windows. Too much hassle to install and roll up/fold up. Bought a jumbo shade from Wal*mart for the front window.

 

We have something like this:

Get the jumbo size. They were like $8 at Target
