Windshield Sunshade

I would like to hear what you guys are using for a windshield sunshade and how they are. I did some searching and the Porsche one was mentioned:

Thanks, Rob

I have the one you posted, purchased it from Suncoast. I really like it, it works well and is easy to manage. It's a thicker material and seems pretty durable, but I've only had it for a little more than a year. I don't use the storage bag at all.

The one above, works great. In my 997.2, the sunshade and storage bag fit into a nice little nitch behind the rear seats when not in use. In the Cayenne, I just have it in the back.

Must be nice. Central Florida summers will result in scorched buns in short order if you don't protect yourself

I got one similar a while back from Calcarcover and it drooped about 5 inches after a couple of years. It was also too big to fit in a two seater so now I’m using a generic collapsible fabric type from Pep Boys or any other parts store.

I also have one from Porsche. The windshield is so 'long' that if you buy one of the usual silver padded 'foil' shades it will droop in no time. Additionally, it's hard to find one in your local Auto Zone long enough to fit a Cayenne.

The one from Porsche fits like it was made for a Cayenne.. because it was!

Look at you lot with your swanky sunshine-based Porsche accessories.

I've had an idea for the UK market.

Use the same one for over a year and its probably the best one out there. I've also used the circle ones that fold when not in use but the P logo is worth the extra$$$

I have the one posted and after 2 long southern summers, it's still in good shape and fits perfectly. It's heavy duty. I never use the storage bag when it's in the car, but store it in the bag in a closet when summer is over.
