It seems like I have to push it in quite a bit at the bottom to make it work; I'll try to remember to take a pic the next time I use it,

I could have sworn that mine fit more flush against the windshield than that, but I just went and checked, and it fits about the same as yours (sorry, no pic; my garage is really dark). And you may be right about the short visors being a factor; the Covercraft shade I had for my G70 did fit flush against the windshield, but the visors on that car were also probably twice as tall as the ones on the Cayman...
Thanks though, good to know it's normal.

Anyone know what Covercraft has been charging normally? I looked on their website and their Black Friday "deals" almost seem like they raised MSRP to make it seem like they're giving a great deal. About $100 for a sunshade now. Anyone buy one more recently than 2021 (this thread's age) that can comment on what normal pricing has been ?
And fwiw, I do have tint on my truck and did not think it makes nearly as big of a difference in interior temps when compared to using a sunshade on the windshield which is why I think I'll skip windshield tint on this, and all other cars, moving forward.

While I can't comment directly on Covercraft, I've been using the wire frame shades that twist into a circle for years now on multiple cars, and they do a great job of reducing heat in Florida sun.
I'm currently using the linked shade in size medium and it works for me. The chart says small is the proper size but it didn't fit (small visors as mentioned in an earlier post wouldn't hold the shade in place). It stores easily behind the passenger seat as well.

Last June I bought a covercraft windshield sunshade for the Cayenne. It was $110 on sale. List was $166. Like everything else the price has gone up. I also have the thermal noise reduction glass on the Cayenne. While the glass reduces the heat on the dash I still use the sunshade. Need to protect the leather.

Those doorpanels are a regretful oversite done by Porsche. Its odd how parts supplier are wanting to sell us brand new ones that will fail the same way.
I had an upholstery shop service my drivers side a few years back and it now remains unwarped.

I did this to my truck. Really doesnt do ****. Aesthetics aside, I wouldn't recommend it to block heat. UV, yes. Saves the interior from fading I suppose. But there was no difference in heat accumulation when the truck is parked. I didn't even get good glare reduction w/ 80%. If I did it again I'd go at least 50-60% for that.
