Has anyone found a windshield sunshade that fits the JK windshield? I did find one on eBay but it seems a wee bit expensive - $24.99 plus $7.50 shipping.

Are you talking about the ones that fit inside of the windshield? I was wondering about that as well. They are really short compared to most. I wonder if they really do any good, since our windshields are so straight up and down. IE, not tilted, like a car.

Yep - that's the kind I'm looking for. Fits on the inside of the windshield to block out the sun. Here in the desert the sun does tend to get the inside a wee bit hot if you have the top on. The one I found on eBay is custom made for the 2007 Wrangler. But - a total price of $32.49 is just a little high, even if it does come with a lifetime warranty.

That's about the cheapest I've seen, Amazon has one for $33.

Has anyone checked out Pep Boy's or someplace like that? Seems like last time I was at one, they had a large variety. With most new cars, it seems most aren't tall enough. Ours is the shortest I've seen in awhile.

The one that Mopar sells is excellent--extremely well constructed (fabric lined with no flimsy-floppy foam interior), fits the windshield perfectly and says "Jeep" on the outside. Having said that, I won't tell you the price. But, $32.49, if it's anything like the Mopar one, is an extraordinarily good bargain.

Why would you post and not tell the price?

I took an old one and cut it down till it fit just right. It still looks good, but I could care less about the look of my sunshield, as long as it does it's job.

LOL, an old SNL skit comes to mind, getting what you want by using subliminal techniques. Nice one....

Got mine at Costco and they fit pretty well.

Has a front shade and two side shades.

Think they were under $10.
