I know these are showing for home windows but I think you might be able to DIY them to fit the windshield.



Can double as a awning just in case too.

Take a quick measurement across the windshield and head to wally world and see what sizes they have. Probably the cheapest option, besides my awesome idea above.

I use a window screen from here. It's not cheap but compared to coil kit or Vossen wheels, Amuse Body kits, Fast Intentions Exhaust, or Twin Turbo, or Supercharger, etc., I could go on all day......it's cheap.

What did you expect from this crew?

There was a recent thread on this subject. If the site's search won't find it, try Google/DuckDuckGo/et al and add "site:the370z.com" to you search string.

I bought a cheap "hoop" style (flip/twist it right and it collapses into a small disc) that works well in S AR heat and doesn't take a lot of space in storage. Probably won't last more than 5-6 years but it was cheap and does the job.

I know I know...I don't mind the banter its all good :-)

I trier the Walmart ones they are very flimsy and not hard enough. I did on my prior vehicles order from eBay from a seller in California that made them custom fit. They were approx 30 or dollars and were good. However I don't seem to think he's in business anymore.

Isn't there always a "prior" thread? I mean this forum has been around for at least 5 years, I think it's pretty much exhausted most any subject at least once. But I still keep coming around.

I bought one from Advance Auto, the accordion style one. I have seen the custom fit ones on EBay, so someone makes them still.

This might be way too simplistic, but you do know that Nissan dealers sell screens that custom fit the 370. I don,t even have to hold them in with the visors.
