    Hey guys. I am looking to get a window sun shade set up for my 21 Tundra that actually fits. The aftermarket stuff I have found is either too big or small. Any ideas?

    Don’t. Sun shade could cause damage to the camera on the upper windshield.

    Seen a few issues from the shade trapping the heat between the windshield and shade. It also blocks the vents around the cover and the excess heat causes issues with the camera lens

    I've personally have purchased dozens of these over the years for all my vehicles, my friends have purchased dozens of these as well. Other than when you roll it up it takes up space, they have been zero complaints.

    This is the only answer. I have ceramic tint on my windshield and still use this. Does such a great job.

    I get the jumbo sun shade at walmart. The two piece-it fits great in passenger back pocket. Turn the shades vertical, fits perfect.

    I have one of the cheap fold and go types I got off Amazon. Fits perfectly in the window and perfectly in the pouch behind the passenger seat. Leave all 4 windows cracked with my AVS' and truck stays nice and cool. Gotta park in the sun to get the solar juices flowing..

    I have the WeatherTech and it fits great. I did stop using it though because on the humid days it would cause excess moisture between the windshield and itself. I would have to clean the interior to see every time I drove the truck due to the dried moisture.

    Thats what the wife bought me and in my case it does not fit. Too big. Maybe she got the wrong one.

    Are you turning the shades 90 degrees from how they should normally fit? That works perfect for me.

    Get the Covercraft UVS100. I'm in FL as well and have been using that on all my vehicles forever without issues.

    I just ordered a Covercraft. Been using a generic one from Autozone until the other one gets here.
    Never needed one in Washington, but after moving back to SoCal its a must.
    I got the Carhartt edition because, well because they had one.

    I bought the WeatherTech kit that came with the sides and rear window as well. Works great to block the other windows if I am parked a for longer period of time.

    Where do y’all store your cover craft sunshades when not in use? They seem kind of bulky when folded and that they may not fit very well behind the passenger seat

    My Covercraft finally showed up. Fit and coverage is perfect!
    The Carhartt edition matches the wheels pretty well.
    I will say that shiny bronze surface gets hot as crap when in the sun all day. Use caution when folding and stowing.
