Default Sun Visor

Does anyone have any recommendations for a sun visor/sun shade?

You mean as in those collapsable ones for your windshield when you park in the sun?

Visors could mean a couple of things. The one's that TerryCS was talking about, the one's that you filp down while you're driving or the one's that go on the outside of your windows.

Hey can you post a pic of this on your car, I wanted to buy this but wasn't sure whether it fits nicely or leaves open spots.

Have you tried pressing the sunshade button underneath the center console?

sorry about not being more clear. i meant the sunshade that covers the front windows. i have seen that sewell was selling one but it looked real bulky. it seemed like there was a jdm version out but i didn't know where to find it.

Just get the jumbo sized one available at Costco right now. It's less than $10 and includes suction cup ones for the side windows.

Keep in mind that there is NO sunshade that will cover perfectly but I think the Costco one works well on the windshield. It also collapses small enough to fit in the glove box.

They are custom sized, cover and work great.

Default Sunshade

Being in Phoenix, the heat is not too far away. I have a pretty standard and weak sunshade and am looking to get a better one. Been looking at the covercraft models but was hoping to find something that did not require me pulling down the visors every time. Call it OCD but I don't like the idea of pulling down the visors and slowly loosening them over time. Any suggestions?

Ever thought about tinting your windshield? We tinted our MDX- 3M Cyrstalline 70. It's hardly noticeable from the outside. Really does cut down UV and heat inside the car considerably.
Hey, got your steering wheel yet ?

Car actually came with a tinted windshield but got cracked shortly after getting the car so I had it replaced. Only problem with tinting windshields is I seem to have to replace them once a year or so. Still no steering wheel, I am getting super anxious to get it in tho that's for sure!

Yeah, i hear ya. Damn windshields aren't cheap to replace...our windshield tint was super expensive too..i think it was $350 or something because the MDX had a giant windshield.

Have it been 4-5 weeks yet? If so, call up Ivan to see where your order is. You ordered at bad time, Chinese New Year was a few weeks ago... they all take 1 month off. May be delayed.
