Review of Sunshade for Toyota Scion XB 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 HEATSHIELD Windshield Custom-fit Sunshade

I've had my shade for about a month now. I bought it because the way I have to park my car at home it gets direct sun through the windshield from early afternoon till sunset. Besides, the fact that the car gets really hot, all that direct sun will fade my interior and dry out the vinyl.

This one costs about twice what I'd have paid at Wal-Mart or PEPBOYS. But, this one was advertised as being cut to fit the windshield of my specific car, so I elected to get this one.

I've bought the generic "One size fits most windshields between xxx inches by xxx inches" carried at the lower end stores and I was very unhappy with the fit. Either they are so large that when you try to put them in you have to fold the edges - or, they are too small and you have to use the visors to keep them from falling on the floor - or, they unfold into two circles that you have to cram into a rectangular windshield, resulting in huge gaps all over the place that let in a lot of sunlight and make the car hot despite their use.

This one WAS cut the specific size for my vehicle (a 2006 Scion XB). It slipped right in place and stays tight in place without my having to pull the sun visors down to keep it from falling down. And, I don't have to kink it to make it small enough to fit.

Also, and I realize this won't apply to a lot of you, I do a lot of out door photography, The inside of the shade seems to be a great hue to use as an outdoor light reflector when trying to balance the light in outdoor shots. I plan to use it when it gets a little warmer here and I shoot outside. I consider this a hidden extra.

It also seems to be very well made and I think it will last a long time.

All in all, I'm very pleased and think it was worth the few extra $'s.

I also uploaded a few pictures of it "in action."

Review of Putco 480178 Element Chrome Window Visor - Set of 4

Very nice looking. Glad I got these. Easy to install. Was a bit tricky on the first one but once you see how they fit, the other 3 were a breeze. Blocks a little bit of the view for the passenger side mirror but considering how nice they look, who cares. :-)

Review of EGR 563411 WindowVisor Dark Smoke 2-Piece In-Channel Tapeless Window Visors

I bought this item for my 2002 FORD Ranger because the description said it would fit. Of course it didn't. It's even way too big for an F150. The package says it fits a Ford Super Duty Pick-Up. Now I get to pay shipping to return it.
