do you use a windshield sun blocker

i've seen some BMWs around here that have nice custom sun blockers that go on the windshield when parked. I was wondering if there were custom camaro ones on the market. what do you guys use, i imagine most people use the ones from walmart.

Yep - Wally World shades - I have the ones that are circle shaped with the wire in the edge, that fold up into a 10 inch circle.

BUT - I also use the carpeted dash overlay to keep my pristine dashpad pristine!

Re: do you use a windshield sun blocker

check with your auto tenting companies. I have seen ads for clear UV film that blocks like 90% of the UV and keeps your car cooler.
the positive is that you do not have to deal with sun shades.
