You can buy them from the dealer. Nice used my wife's from her 2016 RDX and it fits the same.

Not OEM or Covercraft, but I have the one linked below and have been very happy with it.

Another vote for Covercraft. Amazon, JC Whitney, Autogeek, lots of places carry them. Don't forget to order the storage bag also.

What's the point of a sunshade? The dash doesn't really burn and that flimsy sunshade isn't doing a whole lot to keep the interior temps down.

Toronto in the summer is worse than San Diego smartass. Humidity is through the roof and temps could go above 105 F for multiple days.

And yes, I envy the southern states for their climate but I am a proud Canadian for other reasons. Many many other reasons. Cheers

The sun shade does help as it reflects the sun rays. It may not be cool inside but with the windows cracked and the sun shade up it does help prevent it from being scorching hot. Especially black on black. It also will help preserve the dash.

Even if you live North of the 45th parallel as we do, touching that super hot steering wheel sucks. Since 1995, the first accessory I buy for every car I own is a sunscreen. In fact, there were some real issues related to cracked dashes on the model of truck I own. I park the huge beast outside in the hot sun...after diligently using the shade I have had no issues.

Correct OEM comes with a storage bag.
The Covercraft bag must be ordered separate.

+1 on the OEM sunshade. I just got mine today from my my Acura dealer. Came with the storage bag and looks BOSS. Car was much cooler and steering wheel/shift knob were much more comfy to the touch upon getting inside the cabin after the car sat in the sun for a few hours this afternoon.

Weirdly enough, every Acura dealer I call in Canada says Acura doesn't sell this part, even gave them the part number on the website. Anyone have any luck getting this in Toronto Canada?

Any Acura parts website wants like 45 for the product and 40-60 to ship it. That's a little much to have it shipped here!

Don't forget about duty. I would try to get a relative in the USA get it for you. I got some Canadian Tire special but this OEM one looks mint.

For those saying it doesnt help, come down to georgia with 90 something temps and humidity at the same level. Sunshades plus tint do wonders. OEM or aftermarket(like I have) do wonders for interior temps and long term fatigue on the plastic components.

Does the OEM sunshade require the visors to be used? I'm looking for one that doesn't require it.
