Retractable Windshield Sunshade

[jorl]

Cover craft is a roll up very good. Other than something like that, I would go with a ceramic cleat tint in the inside of the windshield. I hear they are incredible at keeping the heat out

so...ABOUT how much is the ceramic clear window tint? i LIKE THAT IDEA

I can't imagine that retractable one ever looking good or offering as much heat rejection as a quality sun shade.

Why I liked my retractable is that I used it EVERY TIME! It took 1-2 seconds to extend and the same to retract. You never have to fuss about where to store it. I used to have a pop-up one, but ended up using it maybe 1/3 the time.

But you are right, not as aesthetic (but still nice), and likely not as effective (but quite good). A good option for me.

Hi my fellow Oregonian. Have you considered a clear ceramic tint on your windshield? I highly recommend Highline Customs near Columbia on Science Park Drive.

Thanks for the referral. I live 2 min from there! Will check them out.

I’m expecting delivery of my Mav in the next week or two and 100% getting a sunshade. The retractable type sounds awesome, I’ve never seen or heard of one and it’s nice to see you like it enough to want another.

I went to Dash Designs website, lo and behold, the Maverick model is listed and available! $53.95, half the price of the Ford one I was probably going to get. Thanks for the tip!

LOL - Why didn't I think of that...stuck on search engines I guess... Thank you for the link!! The picture there is accurate and also I wasn't aware I could choose patterns. I'll likely go with the US Flag one...picture that on a Carbonized Gray with Black Package!

Perfect. I used them for my current Subaru and referred several others who have all had raved about their work. My Maverick will get get the Huper Optic i3 all around to keep it UV protected and nice and cool.

I can tell you as someone that is owned multiple windshield shades in my life. This one for the Maverick from ford is the thickest highest quality one I have ever purchased.

And the bigest, stiffest, and most difficult to store......

I bought a roll-up Weathertech that fits perfect, even with the dash cam and radar detector in place, easy up and down.

My very first car was a 74 Javelin in Trans Am Red. Loved that car...

Yours sounds like a beauty! This is my wife's car - she bought it new in '74, we still drive it to church every week, take it to car shows occasionally.

I had 50% Ceramic put on my Windshield. Twice, as I had to have it redone when my windshield was cracked and replaced.

Around $125-$150.

I got mine in high school when it was 20 years old already, and it was a heap. Bought it for $300 and I spent about a year rebuilding everything I could and hitting up junkyards for the rest. Good times

Just curious about how compatible it is with the A pillar airbag deployment.

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?
