    Try Heatsheild. These fit perfect and work great. 15% tint all around incl visor, will seal out alot of excess heat.

    Can anyone provide me with some feedback of how the Covercraft sunshades fit? I am looking to get one, but just read a few reviews online that noted poor fit on the Tundra. Would like some feedback before I buy one. Thanks.

    Ended up ordering the Covercraft UVS100 Premier Series in white to match my truck. Odering directly from the covercraft website would have been $83.00 + almost $15 shipping and another $7 for tax totaling $104.92. I ended up purchasing through AutoAnything who is running a 12% off sale with code: WKND12. AutoAnything was only $73.76 after tax and discount code with free shipping.

    That’s what I use and it works well. It does get in the way of my dash cam though.

    I was wondering about that...I just installed a dash cam last weekend. How is the fitment otherwise? I've read some complaints about gaps around the edges. I think I will pick up a cheap shade to use until this one comes in. Estimated shipping date is about 4 weeks from now due to covid.

    That’s mine, you have 1/4 inch either side to move it. It’s cardboard wrapped in felt really. Works well for me here in Virginia.

    I think it helps, it’s a sunshade. A little gap I think is fine, otherwise it would be difficult to get in and out. I will also have to take my dash cam down since it’s 2 way. Though I have been looking into the smaller Garmin one that fits snug behind the rear view mirror.

    That one looks like it’s a tighter fit around the window but it’s more flimsy.

    Weathertech for ALL the glass...expensive but well worth saving your dash/seats.

    Yes and yes. It is very reflective so it works very well

    They fit tight so you just push the edges in a bit...they are so tight that they have a little pull loop to get them out of needed.
    I put them in all 6 windows and it really helps keep the truck MUCH cooler in the summer... no more hot leather or steering wheel.

    I have this one and have been using it for over a year. You must be very careful with this one. It is very thin, so don't try to shove it down the windshield at the dashboard. It will go past the dashboard and start to stick to the foam gasket that is in that gap and it will pull the gasket out over time.

    I was able to mount my camera behind my rear view mirror without having to remove it now when I put the sunshade up.

    Nice! I still like mine, just need to find a better place to store it when not in use. My kids have a tendency to step on it.....

    Stay away from the cheap ones at local auto part stores. After 1 year under the sun, they flake and fall apart.

    I have the Covercraft. Even with both grab handles it fits PERFECT. I ordered the blue one and looks great on a white truck.
