    I don’t have personal experience with these but I have wanted them. Check out Griots and weathertech. I got one that fits halfway decent from Cosco. $8.99

    covercraft and dont look back. good thick sturdy material that covers the entire windshield save 1" around the sides and top. you should also look into llumar air80 or 3m crystalline 70% for your windshield.

    They do make some awesome shirts. :D
    Their sunscreen actually looks like the covercraft one.

    Thanks for the referral! :fistbump:

    :gossip: It's made by covercraft. lol

    Covercraft makes awesome stuff though, by far and away the top selling sunshade we offer. I've yet to hear a complaint from one of these :thumbsup:

    Well that explains it. :)

    I had one for my last car, which I sold to somebody at work after I got rid of that car. It was one of the first things I bought for the Tundra.

    I actually crimped one of the sections on mine last week when I was taking it down. :mad:

    Yes sir that’s the sunshade I have. It’s actually made by Covercraft. The Carhart is just a logo on it. It does make a big difference on how cool your truck gets. I will warn you it doesn’t fit tight against the side pillars like my previous covercraft shade on a different truck. The sides are shaped with an arch like it’s made for a ford window. Here are the photos showing the gaps and the model number I was told fit the Tundra.

    Couldn’t have said it better. I got crystalline 70 up there and it made a huge difference. I don’t even use a sunshade but if I do it would be covercraft! I use covercraft on all my vehicles.

    I have the Weathertech one. It fits well, rolls up nicely and keeps the sun off of the dash and steering wheel. Heat reduction is so so.20170801_150150.jpg

    This is my 2nd Covercraft one as well. The gaps were a lot smaller on the one for my last car. One thing I've noticed with the Tundra one though, it hits the grab handles when I pivot it up towards the visors.
    I think if it were wider, which would make the gaps smaller, it would be harder to get up :bananadance:

    The Heatshield fits really well. I can't see the point of having a "really good" shield that doesn't fit well. This fits custom.

    Are you or anyone using the side shades by them? The ones for the front doors. I'm just wondering if they're worth it, or are they to much of a hassle to put on and take off all the time.
