Sun Shade Reco?
Looking to purchase a custom sunshade to protect the leather and deviated stitch. Planning on buying this unless anyone has a recommendation for an accordion-style, quality product that is somehow better and/or cheaper.

I bought that Porsche one. Hated it. Too bulky. Tried to give it to my neighbor for his 911, but he hated it too. So I threw it away.
Bought one from WeatherTech. Much lighter and easier to put away. But doesn't fit that well.

Thanks for the feedback all! I've got a similiR, if not identical, item on my 993TT. It IS big, but it's perfect for my needs and completely protects the dash.

I've had these for years for all of my cars and they last for years! They roll up nicely and form fit to the car. I've had buddies buy the Porsche one only to be frustrated with the fan fold. just purchased two more for my daughter's cars.

I'm very pleased with the covercraft uvs100, which is the one sold by OEMs. I have it on both my 997 and E46, and they fit well, fold up easily, and offer excellent protection.

This! We've sold these for 15 years after I bought one retail for one of my personal cars and was so impressed we decided to offer them. Specifically cut for each vehicle and fits so well you don't even have to fold the visors down to keep it in place.

Not the best webpage trying to sell me something I've ever seen.

Exactly! Even better, Pep Boys sells one with the two circles that are attached in the center so they are even quicker to stow away. Just a twist and they are folded and reduced to a thin 9" flat circle. I have this one in all my cars.
Over the years I have tried shades that rolled, folded, did the accordion thing, etc. I have a pile of them. I've had a Griots one, a Porsche one, a Weathertech one and numerous no-name styles. All gathering dust, given away or trashed. For my needs, they were either too cumbersome to fold quickly or too large to stow.

I have always used these too and they are wonderful. However, I'm seeing only a $5 difference between the one offered on autoanything.com and on Suncoast, so I'm going to stop by my local P dealer on the way home and see if they'll match Suncoast's price...my poor 991 is garage parked, but takes a beating whenever I take her out in the Texas summer sun.
