Dashboard Sun Shade for the 04+ TL?

I have a sunshade for my CRV that has the two flexible O wires that you fold up into a bunch and stick it behind the seat. I got it at GI Joes, but I can't find them this season just yet. Might not have them just yet..

Do you have any brand that you love or does a real good job of keeping the dash cool?

Any really easy to store?

I can't stand the fold up cardboard ones, or the ones that take up a ton of space to store. And I also can't stand the ones that come in two parts that you have to fold up or setup separatly.

Ideally I'd like a perfect match that covers the whole windshield. It is hit or miss with the generic ones.

Any ideas?

I have the Covercraft UVS100 .... More info can be found here. I've had it for almost two years and I think it works great. It also looks good because it was cut specifically for the TL. A bit cumbersome at times because of it's size. After using, just fold it up and store it in the trunk. Google for other manufacturers.

I went to Napa Auto Parts and got a large OO wire type sunshade for 9 dollars.

I hate taking up valuable space for a big annoying bulky folding shade. The o ring one fits nicely behind the seat in the holder and I don't have to waste time on the way to work to put stuff in the trunk.

I have a Canvasworks sunshade that has held up well the last two years. Oldtimers on this site will recall that we had a massive group buy on this two years ago. I'm not sure what shape Canvasworks is in as their website is totally bolloxed. Or at least it no longer works with either Safari or Camino in OS X.

I will ditto the Covercraft UVS100. I bought one about a month ago for my 06 TL and the cut is flawless. Probably about 1/2 inch gap around the edges. The only drawback is that it is hard and inflexible and can leave light scratches on your dash if you're not careful. The scratches come out with cleaning though. Still highly recommend it.
