Question Those with windshield sun shade....

Apart from Courtesy Nissan, where can I get a sunshade for my 350z? How's the fitment? Trying to protect the interior from the sun!!!

How's the quality/fitment of the one from Courtesy Nissan? Thanks!

I bought the one from Courtesy. I like it because it's cut for the Z. Haven't used it for a couple months now (damn Winter) but it seemed to fit pretty well.

I park for an hour or 2, and to be honest its just a hassle. the car will get used, Ill keep protectant on it. the interiors plastic anyway, it wont dry out like leather would.

I park in the shade if possible.

I have the shade from Courtesy - fits perfect - nice quality - I didn't use one on my old car but now after using it everyday at work (in Florida) I really like it - only takes a min to put up and take down - well worth the money.

I got a Covercraft sunshade. It's fitted to the window and folds. Not quite as thick as a table pad and very nice material. I had one in my Z32 that was the same. They look good in the window.

I had bought one of the shades from the Courtesy Nissan but I don't like all the room it takes to roll up inside the car. The Covercraft one is still a little cumbersome but a little better.

This is the cheapest I was able to find them.


SKU: UVS 03NI352 6802 $44.95

I NEVER park under a tree, EVER. bird crap is the least of my concerns. limbs, nuts, leaves, sap, ect. no when I said shade I meant shade from a parking deck, or something. if its an option between tree shade and sun, my car will be baking.
