Default Windshield shade

Does anyone make a decent reflective windshield shade that fits a 928?

There are a few out there.
The old 928 Motorsports had some. Not sure if the new one carried them over or not.

You can also make your own.

There's stuff called 'Reflectix". It's the small bubble bubble wrap, with silver plastic (not foil) on both sides. Sold as insulation.

Cut it to fit (cardboard templates are helpful). I use little suction cups with hooks from the hardware store to hold it in place.

I've got windshield shades for my Cayenne & 928, plus a rear window for the 928.

Someone on here made a set a while back (where I got the idea). He sewed binding tape around the edges for a finished look. I may or may not do that in the future.

I have ordered from this company. Ordered the gold one for my GTS and it's fits very well.

Brent beat me to it, the Covercraft ones are high quality and fit well.

I have a full set of shields for all the windows on the Red Witch from Heatshieldstore.com. I am quite happy with them.

I have the ones from heatshield as well. Nicole is the one who had them made years ago for her store.

So if all else fails you can ask her
