Found a very cool Type S Sunshade BUT...

Looking for new sun screen. I want high quality,
Don't want any old cardboard or crinkly plastic thing, anyone?

I did find this folding one made out of lightly padded black fabric on one side and silver reflector on the outside. It even has Type S logos in red but it only comes in small! Liked it a lot. Trying to see what I can do with it, it's way too short up and down, and too long side to side.

Here's a picture, I called the manufacturer, it's discontinued and was only made in one size, too bad, it's very nice.

Don't buy that bull.

Covercraft sun sheilds are the shit.
They fit our cars perfectly and keep a lot of sun and heat out.

Those look nice. Do they make them fit the Onstar Mirror? My sunshade I use now is also custom fitted for the CL and it fit my non-Onstar mirror CL a lot better than the onstar mirror CL I have now. There is a difference on how low the mount is for the mirror.
I was gonna have to cut this one to go around the mirror right.

I have one with some suction cups that does a decent job, I just put the moon roof up and then pull the vent shade back about 1" from being fully closed.

Yea, that’s the way to go and it fits behind the OnStar mirror just fine.
I’ve had mine for 4-Years now and it still looks like new.

15% tint, I just don't see, or feel any difference with it on. My car is just as hot with it or without it. Maybe if I had lighter or no tint
