Out of curiosity, how well do the so-called frost shields (for example this one from CoverKing) work as a sun shield in the summer? My thought is if it also works as a sun shield, one product for both seasons. Most of the ones that I've seen aren't reflective, but is that really necessary if the light blocking is outside the vehicle?

Living in the Texas Hill country, my only real concern is keeping the summer heat out. My vehicles live in the garage, so I really don't need any kind of frost protection in the winter. The sun shield would not work well "outside" of the vehicle as it is designed to fit snugly to the inside of the windshield. The "outside" frost shield would also block any sun rays from coming through the windshield to heat up the vehicle, so it should do both jobs (just appears to more involved to put on). Just not sure how the material will hold up to extreme heat though ;)

It's going to help some, but not nearly as much as a sun shade. A dark, opaque cover like the frost shield shown is going to keep some light and heat from entering the vehicle, but it's actually going to get hot and stay hot against the glass, as opposed to a light colored material that reflects more light. A sun shade takes this a step further with generally some sort of foil material or similar to really help reflect the sun light and heat away from the vehicle.

I still feel like not enough people realize these umbrella style sun shades are so convenient. Yes they are cheap. Yes they will probably break if you breathe on them wrong. But you can find some for like $10 to $12 or less. You can put them under a seat, in the glove box, etc. I feel like setting up a sunshade (for me personally) in a vehicle is all about quantity (basic coverage) and convenience, not quality and perfection (i.e. perfect fit).

I also bought this full size roll-up one but now I've thrown the roll-up in the garage attic since I use the umbrella style. I hated that I had to keep juggling the roll-up guy between the cab and the bed when I had passengers because it would be in the way in the foot well.

Amazon Search for a cheap one ($15 max):

I made my own out of some reflective bubble wrap I had laying around. Stores behind the seat back when I'm not using it, and provides a little sound deadening back there on the road.

The general shape is 54" at the bottom, 48" at the top, and 25 inches deep, if anyone wants to cut their own. Then slice a 9" deep slit in the top center to go around the mirror post. Done. 🤠

Coverking wants 52.95 on their site. Bought one through Costco for 34.95 for my truck and the wife's Edge. Great material, don't need the interior visor to keep it in place, totally satisfied with my purchase.

Windshield sunshade. Which did you buy? I do not have my truck yet, and am looking to get a universal sun shade to put in the windshield because of the blazing sun and heat we have here in Texas. Can anybody give me the rough height and width dimensions of the windshield in inches.

Thanks
Matt
I had a ‘13 Honda CRV and bought a sunshade for that huge windshield, it has served me well on the ’18 Kona. Even in Hawaii these things don’t fall apart…you might want to look on Amazon and set your vehicle for ‘23 Maverick…

That is the one I have I think, got at Costco in ‘13 and it is still good..

I got the Ford Maverick sunshade from the Ford Accessories site using my FordPass points. It is a CoverCraft item that is well constructed and fits nicely. I really like it.

After looking at this I am going to use my Ford Pass points …..

It fits great with 100% sun protection thru windshield.

Bought mine at the Ford dealer, has the word Maverick on it. I think the price was $69.00.
