I just did some research. It looks like the Lariat Package includes "Acoustic-laminated windshield". The laminate for these is also UV protective, so we may not need to add additional UV protection by 3rd party?
Ceramic tint blocks a high amount of infrared heat which helps keep the interior cool. They block 99.9% of UV rays which is better than the OEM windshield.

My MY23 build date is week of Sept 4. I bought it stripped down and now looking at accessories.

I saw the Mav sunshade, but it is a fold-up type; my wife previously gave me a custom retractable shade (from Dash Designs) for my late Subaru Impreza WRX (RIP).

Does anyone know where I can find a custom retractable shade? If not fully custom, what size is correct for the Maverick (saw a 23" for Ford 150 on Amazon)?
I have YelloPro Sun Shades for the windshield and two front windows. It's not retractable and don't fold up small but man, do they BLOCK HEAT because they are multi-layered and THICK. It can be 110 degrees outside, I can sit in my truck, AC set to 76 degrees and I can just chill in there with all three front windows blocked.

The following website explains acoustic windshields (the Lariat Package includes an acoustic windshield):
https://weekendbuilds.com/acoustic-windshield/
Says:
"
6. Better UV Resistance

Acoustic interlayer on windshields blocks 98% to 99% of UV rays. Thus, helping to reduce cabin heat, sunburn, driver fatigue, and prevent fading of vehicle leather, fabrics, and plastics. It also improves visibility and decreases eye strain."

I got a Coverking through Costco for $35. Custom fit and doesn’t require the sun visors to hold it in place.
I don't mean to be a jerk here, but please limit this discussion to RETRACTABLE sunshades - this is not a discussion for advertising all the possible sunshade options. Thank you.
