Default Lookin for a sunshade

Has anyone out there found a source to get a sunshade for the front windshield of the JK. Jeep doesnt make one and the ones in the auto shops are too tall and dont fit the jeep very well. I guess I can cut one down, but would rather not. Trying to keep the texas sun off dash as much as possible.

IMHO...I don't think the shade would look good on the JK.

My suggestion....just add just a few more coverings of 303 protectant to your dash....great stuff for UV protection.

Heat Shield makes one that's a custom fit for just about any vehicle... http://www.canvasworks.com I picked mine up at my local dealer and ordered one from them for my other non Chrysler-Jeep vehicles. They roll up when not being used.

I went the cheap way. I took a regular sized one from walmart and folded up the bottom half. I've done it so much it keeps it form. The length fits just right

Yes they do--or at least they used to. I bought one. Jeep is quite proud of it. But, I will say that it fits the windshield exactly, even dropping down into that small channel between the bottom of the windshield and the front of the dashboard. And it's made much, much better than those $10 things you can pick up at your local auto parts store. It's just like this one for the TJs:

The one from Canvas Works looks similar to the one I got from Auto Anything.
Now, all I gotta do is get my arse in gear and insulate the hardtop.
