[Accessories] Rear windshield sunshade?

I'm trying to protect my car's interior from UV damage. I've already ordered the custom fit front windshield cover from Heatshield and 303 Aerospace for the coated leather, but I can't find anything decent for the back glass.

I tried two generic-brand sunshades but they don't fit well or stay up either. I would appreciate any recommendations.

Spam Link for Heatwhatever doesn't work. Just get the car tinted. You can usually find a good shop in the area that will do it for around $200. Cheaper on "group-on."

It was a link to the Amazon product page. It was recommended by this forum. The car has already been tinted. Thanks for the tip though.

I saw that thread, but that's not what I need. I'm looking for a 100% sunshade like the kind people leave when they park their cars in the sun rather than shielding occupants in the rear seats.

I can't find the right size in generic brands, even 'jumbo' ones. I'll keep looking.

Why not just buy a car cover. Will probably be cheaper in the end. Plus you will maintain the paint and everything else...

I have garage parking at home and work, so the commute is the only time the car is in the elements so this is not an issue for me.

However OP, your tint should block most of the harmful UV rays, rendering this issue and thread mute for you.

I cover my car when I drive it to work. I have not seen anyone laugh yet. Only shock when they see how my 09 still looks showroom fresh!
