Sunshade for TL Front SIDE Windows

Anybody has good suggestion about it?

Just want to use it when parked, since the sun is pretty direct to my side windows. The back side windows are fine, since they are tinted dark.

But, I feel like I need protection for the front.

Anything at Pepboys / Kragen is cheap looking and doesn't fit well.

I am hoping to find something like Covercraft custom fit, but it probably doesn't exist for the side windows.

I am currently using bath towel, which is pretty embarassing.

many places are cracking down on the front tint- if its not legal in your state dont risk it
Go to Target in the auto section- mesh shades that have a suction cup stick right to the glass--removes easily or leave on,,cops dont hassle about it since it doesnt cover the entire glass (or you can take it off quickly)
Been using these for years on all my rides

Thanks!

My front windows are tinted just very light. This still concerns me after reading so many threads about dashboard cracking.

I even bought the custom fit Covercraft for the windshield, which I am loving a lot. It really keeps your car cool if you have to park under the sun.

Only in the morning, when the sun is rising, it comes through the side windows for a few hours.

I will check Target per the above suggestion.

Thanks, but I think the visors won't completely solve my problem.

If it is not already cracked, begin a regimen of 303 Aerospace protectant---this stuff rocks, absolutely the best for interior vinyls & plastics (another great item I found out about on this site--Thanks again, AZ!). It is SPF40 for UV protection and it leaves a very nice semi-gloss sheen. You can find it in Marine Supply stores, although I found mine in a hardware store in Ocean City, MD (bought all 4 bottles off the shelf!). Drench it once per month, then wipe off all of the excess---you don't want it to sit for more than a few minutes. It also helps reduce the airbag outline that shows up after a while.
