My car is tinted 20% all around and the strip at the top of the windshield but I still want to get a reflective sunshade for the windshield for when it is parked when I'm at work but I can't find one that is cut to the size of the cruze. I want it to fit well and not fall down.

If anybody has any suggestions pleasr let me know!

I have the Techshade by Weathertech. It fits really good. Only downfall is getting it to roll back up. It is kind of stiff.

Agree. I have the same thing. Fits well. As a tip, stick your hand inside the roll and you can tighten it up enough to connect the velcro.

I second the Covercraft. We have the Champagne Silver Metallic Cruze and I ordered the gold shade. They're a bit expensive but will last almost forever if you take care of it. I have one for all 3 of our cars. It takes a couple weeks to get it as they say they are custom made.

I have the covercraft one, much higher quality(and price) than anything I have previously had. Does my interior still get hot? Sure but it take allot longer to warm up and the dash is still cool to the touch, making the AC feel cold WAY sooner.

I also have Weathertech vent visors, so with all 4 windows cracked open and the sunshade installed, it doesn't get much hotter than ambient.

Here is a link to the post on another thread with a few photos of the Covercraft UVS100 in my car.

Nice looking product. Given my location in the northern hemisphere I don't use one, but a friend of mine does. This cover craft product blows the other CTC special.

As a particularly picky person I have had good experiences with cover craft. They did the sunbrella cover for my DTS and the cordura seat covers for my CTD. Happily do business with them again.

Definitely the Covercraft. We have one for the Cruze and my Cobalt, and they fit and work great.

This post caught my eye. Some things I just have a hard time paying for. I made a template out of newspaper of the windshield and transferred this to cardboard.

The problem is the cardboard that I used was very stiff, from a large TV box. Does anyone have any suggestions about alternative materials that could be used? If I had a metal shear I could evenly crease the cardboard.

I know I'm starting to "think/act" like another senior member that share's his crazy creative thoughts! Ok it was a crazy idea but an idea that I think still may hold value...

Ideas?

Your time is worth money, so consider that when you attempt to make an inferior product. Only reason the Covercraft works so well its 1/2 inch thick material(insulated) with reflective on the outside.

Anyone who is in Wisconsin and wants a Covercraft for $20 for a Gen1 Cruze I'm willing to deliver out 100 miles from Madison,WI. I also still have a set of front and back husky liners I would like to sell.
