Windshield Shades....

[momo.75]

I was just curious what all shades people are using on their trucks and where they got them.....

My kids got me one of those collapsable (like tent material) windshield shades for father's day. It has all the Looney Tunes characters on it. Or you can flip it over and it's just plain gray on the other side. I prefer the characters. Works well, fits great, and keeps the front seats and dash cool. Adds a little silliness and character to the truck. I think they got it at either Wally world or Target.

Spring shades, the one with two wire loops and one on each side that can collapse to about 1/3rd of it's size. I got them at Costco, but the regular size for the 4Runner, since its windshield smaller.

I use Cee Bailey's custom shades. 4 piece set for windshield and driver and passenger windows.

You can also get them on Ebay.

It looks like these shades introduce a larger blind spot at the windshield pillars when retracted. Do you find this annoying and/or distracting?

I also wonder if the retracted units are legal in California when attached to the windshield while the truck is in motion. For example, it is not legal to use a windshield mount for a GPS unit or mobile phone in this state. While many people use such devices here it is a potential state revenue opportunity which an enforcement officer may randomly take advantage of.
