i have a acura tl 2006 and have tried the one that most people get at Walmart or the cheap shades and I've tried this on my front window and none of them seem to fit are there specific ones I need to get?

 

I bought mine all Wal-Mart a few years ago and still use it today (on my E28). Plus, it even survived the theft of my TL, I guess the thieves didn't want my awesome sunshade.

 

I bought one from Tim Poliniak. It was custom designed to fit the windshield perfectly and it worked great. It was thick enough to effectively block out the sun and it was high quality, too.

Like you, I also tried the generic type. It was junk, at least the one I bought.

Give Tim a call.

That's the place. Cheap and works great. I have had mine since I bought the car 5 yrs ago.

 

NO NO NO the best shade is the covercraft by far and hands down the best looking! I got two of them!

 

i use heatshield.. wanted the covercraft, but i wanted it now haha.

 

I bought the heatshield. For the price, you can't beat it. It fits the windshield perfectly and rolls up very nicely

 

Looks awesome.

Damn that must be an old pic lol

 

I use the ones u get at autozone, it doesnt cver everywhere but it covers enough. It also rolls up really nicely and fits right in the pocket behind the passanger seat.

 

haha ya it is, I don't have many with the sunshield thats all I could find!

 

I have one I got from O'Reilly's for ~$13. It works pretty well, but of course doesn't cover every area – it has made an impact though and keeps my dash from cracking, so I am happy with it.

 

Here's some more information for you with a few pictures and comparisons. I need to order one myself. lol

heatshield and covercraft. i have the heatshield. it's the one with the white backing

 

I hate the fold-up or roll-up kind. Had one in my CRX. Way to big to store while driving. Cheapo two-piece walmart twist-up type for me. Doesn't fit perfect, but gets the job done. Even in the insane Vegas sun. Summer thru winter, I use it every time my car is parked outside.

 

Wooddash.com custom fit for around $40 shipped. I have 2 of these and no complaint's about them, they are worth checking out...

 

I could use a sunshade. The covercraft looks nice when used. I like the foldup method rather than rolling, but they all look so expensive to me.

 

Well worth the price. You pay 7 you get a 7$ POS that fall down constantly and you end up literally laying on top of dash.

 

I have a grey screen from Brookstone. I think my mother and father gave it to me 15 or 20 years ago. It's designed for use both inside the car as a sunshade and on the outside of the windshield during the winter to keep ice and snow off the glass so you don't have to scrape (and it works very well for that purpose, too). I hardly ever use it on the TL because we park that in our garage, but we use the screen all the time on our RX-7 (solely as a sunshade, as the car gets covered during the winter) or on our RSX (in which case we do sometimes use it on the outside). I've used it on the TL's outside glass on ski trips and it works very well for that purpose.

For a trip to Florida this past summer I got an el cheapo silver sunshade at Advance Auto Parts. It works fine when it's in place, but I concur with the other folks that getting the thing in place is a pain because you can feel that it's cheap and it kind of flops around as you try to put it up. I like the Brookstore screen a lot better because it's a stiffer design, but it's also a smaller screen, really too small to use inside the TL. The el cheapo screen is now in the RSX because it's fairly big and the el cheapo one is in the RX-7's trunk.

I did a Google search looking for the Brookstone product I have and it appears the current design is a bit different from mine, so I can't really comment on the current one. But the old one was a very good product and it was quite durable, as indicated by my still having and using mine after some 15 to 20 years.

Had it for 7.5 years now, still good as new. Fits great. Very quick and easy to deploy and remove. Yes, it is just a bit cumbersome....
