Have you/Do you use a car Sun Shade?

I got a shade at the D-Backs game when we visited last April when they played the Dodgers.

I have a couple of custom fit shades for the M235i and Club Sport; I use them any time they sit in the sun for extended periods.

Yep! In both cars.

Bought the foldable circle ones from Brookstone 20 years ago and still using it this day. I live the desert South West.

They protect from UV damage. Even in the cold, UV will still be there. Only days I don't use mine are when it's raining.

Yes have one for each vehicle and use to try save the interior

I use sun shades and the windows are all tinted as well.

Makes a difference.

Windows tinted and sunshade used every day. I found the best sun shades are the ones that are stiff, they stay in place better (no sagging) and last longer.

Use one in all 3 vehicles.

This spring hoop folding frisbee style is super easy to mount. Just tuck the corners over the dash. Sized for your vehicle. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B072FJ7F75/ref=cm_wl_huc_continue

I was wondering if folks know where a folding cardboard one can be bought. I like these, as I can trim them to be an exact fit for my car. I am not really fond of the aluminized ones, though to be honest I have not tried a model-specific aluminized / bubble-wrap sunshade.

Anyone, i.e. re the cardboard ones?

Thx!

If I had a vehicle with leather seats I would probably use a sun shade, but for the most part there are very few days where I really would have a need for one. car gets hot but cools down quickly with the windows open. I rarely use AC even on the hottest days.. for some reason I prefer opening the windows a crack instead.

I found my old one the other day...it's summer and stinking hot here, so it's back in use.

I use it everyday in Miami Beach. With tint and sun shade I am good to go in this blazing sun. I never leave a window cracked because of landscapers constantly everywhere and thieves plus I find doing that does absolutely nothing. Leaving the a/c set in outside air helps vent it.

If you intend to keep the car over 5 years, even in Alaska it'll keep the UV rays from baking until cracked the dash, deck, and seats. Fully cloudy days excepted and I always park facing the sun's general path. I chuckle at users who park facing N...

I uses one every time I park the car for any length of time outside. I think it makes a huge difference in the life of the interior of the vehicle. It's not only the heat, it's the UV exposure that kills the interior. I don't think over the course of the day it keeps the heat that much lower but it keeps the sun out.
