Any recommendation for CT Windshield sun screen / sunshade?

[Nidavellir]

I am waiting and hoping for Covercraft to release a Carhartt UVS100 Custom Sunscreen for the CyberTruck. I have used that item on every vehicle I have owned and hands down it is the best

Maybe if enough people request it on their link they will make it

For topic select new pattern request
And request a Carhartt UVS100 Custom Sunscreen for Tesla CyberTruck

Here is a six month review of the Covercraft UVS 100 Sunshade

Amazon notes: frequently returned item - doesn’t say why.

Many of them that I looked at said that, and the reviews for all of them are all over the map. I eventually just picked one with a middle-of-the-road price and hoped for the best. Actually some of the reviews were kind of funny, such as "it's so huge" when it's the same size as the windshield...

I have this and its pretty good. It folds like an umbrella and fits in the floor tray between the two front passenger's feet. It's slightly cumbersome to set up / take down (say 15-20 seconds), which keeps me from using it as much as I might. But I also only park in the sun about half the day and found I could vent the windows and turn on air about 5 minutes before getting to the vehicle midday. If I lived in a hotter, sunnier place, and/or was in the sun more, I would definitely use it more.

Bought this one and do not recommend.

Too hard to get in place and suction cups don't work well/hard to reach.

4 section design makes it sag too much.

Getting sunny in Bay Area, and am looking for recommendations for sun screen for windshield.

A few weeks ago, I won a prize from the Foronetry company. It was a sunscreen for the massive windshield of my Cybertrick. I finally had an opportunity to try it out after the first warm day in Sacramento. The company reached out to me to see if I would mind reviewing the product. Here are my thoughts:

The sunscreen is enormous and covers every inch of the Cybertruck’s windshield. Deploying it can be a bit tricky due to its size, but it gets easier with practice. The same goes for taking it down and wrapping it up to fit into the storage sleeve that comes with it.

The engineering that went into creating this sunscreen is quite remarkable. It’s essentially an umbrella shaped to fit the windshield. The arms that support the sunshade material need to be long enough to reach the extreme edges of the windshield but can fold up into a cylindrical shape that’s 20 inches long and only 3 inches in diameter. This allows it to easily fit back into its protective sleeve and then fit under the driver’s seat.

I'm very happy with this product; however, there are a couple of things that could be improved. Firstly, there’s no instruction sheet, but most people will figure out how to use it. The other issue that could have been mentioned in the instruction sheet is the off-gassing issue. After the first time taking it down, I found that my windshield was covered with residue from the sunshade. It really took some ingenuity to clean it all off (See bonus tip below).

If you purchase one of these sunscreens, I highly recommend putting it out in the sun for a few days before using it in your Cybertruck. I would go out and smell the sunscreen and wouldn’t deploy it in my vehicle until there were no more fumes coming from the shade material.

Bonus tip:
To clean the inside of your huge windshield, use a Swiffer mop, but instead of using a Swiffer pad, cover the mop head with a microfiber cloth. I also used a product called Sprayway, which works wonderfully to clean that incredible large windshield.

Made my own Reflectix shade for $0.

The problem
There is so much written about interior shades, but not much on exterior shades. This one will provide a semi permanent solution and keep the cyber truck interior much cooler than interior solutions.

Parts List
Reflectix, 48 inch wide
2x1 all-weather wood, quantity 2, 52 inches long
Screws, wood, 1.5 inch
Leather string, (any string), 12 inches

I build airplanes as a hobby. Had some spare parts laying around:

Requirements list.
Easy to deploy
Don’t scratch the interior.
Easy to stow

Here are the advantage of this exterior sunshine:

ADVANTAGES
Simple: Utilizes the huge windshield wiper to keep it in place
Minimal attachments to the cyber truck
Deploy in less than 20 seconds
Very low cost
Low build time: 30 minutes

DISADVANTAGES
High winds could be a problem, so don’t use it when there are storms or high winds
Rain may enter the cover. This could be resolved by sealing the ends.
Larger footprint when stowed. Just throw it in the bed.
Aluminum hooks may scratch the stainless steel. I will be replacing them with plastic.

Building hints: as shown in the photo, drill pilot holes in wood prior to fastening the screws:

1. drill both pieces of wood with a 1/16 inch drillbit.
2. pre-drilled the top wood piece larger than the screw so that the wood will pinch the Reflectix in place.

I will report back after a month or so to let you know how it is going.

Background: I am a jack of all trades engineer, airplane builder, and HVAC technician, so this was a fun little task to solve a big problem in cooling down that gigantic window in the cyber truck.

Ordered this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DS25P6RN?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Was much better than the last one I ordered with the 4 section design.

This one is much thinner and less bulky in a good way. Easier to handle and does not sag and put up and down since the fabric material and rigid frame aren't as thick. At the time was the lowest priced two section design foldable sunshade.
