Sunshade for the front window

With Spring and Summer on the way, I want to purchase a sunshade.

Who has one and would you buy another one after using it. (Looking for quality material and ease of use)

Anyone find one that doesn't bend in the middle?

I've had two that both would, by the end of the day, be bending and slipping from under the sun visors. I've got one from CostCo that's OK but to stiffen it up, I have to reduce the size.

I got the heatshield from the dealer. Bends a little in the middle, but still covers the entire dash. With tinted windows and the heatshield, the car isn't too bad during these hot Texas summers. I recommend it. Haven't tried the CoverCraft.

It's a foam, I think? I have one too. It's fantastic.
There is a soft one, too that you just roll up. The hard one
you can jam into place perfectly in about 5 seconds tho.

I also stick it up at night (black side out at night). It's pretty
hard to see inside my car with the shield up and the tinted
windows.

I got the storage bag, but I don’t use it all the time.
I usually just fold the shade up and toss it behind the passenger seat.

The bag is great for storing the cover over the winter though so I think it’s worth the extra 5-bucks.
