Yeah I may get a few poops, but I wax well and wash often. I'm torn between paint cancer/clearcoat damage from FL sun, or tree droppings. I'll take tree droppings any day. You should see what the sun down here does to the black plastic parts, let alone the paint!
I feel for the folks that have no choice but broiling sun every day all year.

You guys can worry about a .5" gap on either side. I'm gonna enjoy keeping my car nice and cool with the sunshade.

I ordered the Heatshield brand.. its a roll-up type but the reviews on amazon suggest a perfect fit! I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Okie's thank you.

I got one a couple of weeks ago - it's about as perfect of a fit as it gets!

I don't really like the roll up ones, for reasons like this:

Except that is not a roll-up sun shield, that's a fold-up sun shield. The roll-up one I have does not do that.

Not to mention, that the fold-up one should not do that if it fits correctly and was placed on the windshield correctly.

Got the heatshield in... fits pretty well! Feels a little cheap.. for $40 I think I need to go into the sunshade business. There are some gaps on the side as it was rolled up pretty tight for shipping and one edge was curled up... I have it on the floor now with some books on it to flatten it out.. I think I will just tri-fold it when not in use in the car.

I have the same one ^

Between parking in the shade, having a white car, and this sunshade the Texas heat never felt so cool :santa:

I recently got this one, and it does its job very well. Very good fit. The only complaint I have is that it does not play well with a Blendmount radar detector mount--at least not with mine.

Or maybe it's just that I can't figure out how to place it without removing my radar detector from the mount.

I also just recently purchased the same one as yours. The edges do curl a little bit on mine, but not very much at all.

So I now have all three sun shades in this thread. First I got the heat shield type, but that is folding instead of roll up.

Then I found this thread and saw the heat shield, positive reviews here, and a comment that the rearview mirror would hold it up without the visors.

THEN I finally found the Covercraft one that I've used in my mustangs the last 9 years with impeccable fit and quality - this is the very thick folding one shown earlier in this thread. Unfortunately the fit is not that great in a Z and I could find no way to get it up without knocking the rear view mirror around. It takes me longer to get this in place than to roll up the heat shield.

So now I'm back to the heat shield, but I can't get it to completely cover the window and stay up, even using the visors. Almost seems as if the material isn't sturdy enough. They all work to varying degrees and if someone could mutate all three into one super shade, they would have a winner! I guess the good news is that I have a lifetime supply of 370Z sun shades! :driving:

I have this one as well: Motorsport! UV Sunshield, 09-14 370Z - The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts

I have zero complaints with it. Perfect fit and can be easily placed behind the passenger seat.

I just have the whole front window tinted 70% with ceramic tint + the brow and call it a day.

Big gaps on either side .

That's what I noticed too...in other cars, the edges tucked right up against the edge of the window and stayed there, in this car they just kind of sit right outside the edge of the window as if they are about 1/4" too long on each side...only other explanation is they sent me the wrong year and windshields are slightly different sizes on 14's versus earlier models...:driving:

Personally I would have gone for the folding type but I remember coming across a pic AK the forum admin chap posted a while ago and thought I would give that a miss. I think I will get the rolled up one.

The rolled up one I got from ebay a while ago was approx 30 dollars and pretty stiff and coverage was excellent.

This is my concern, since I run the Blendmount as well. Will this sunshade fit without me having to remove my detector, etc?

Have you found a way around it? I'd rather not have to reset everything once I get back into the vehicle. :mad:

dont you want to remove your expensive detector out of plain sight anyway? :confused: another reason why i never got a blend mount on my G since i use the car to go to work some times.

No, it's a hassle having to remove and replace it every time.

From the outside you can't really tell it's there, TBH. It being so dark inside w/a black interior.

I had to get a Blendmount as the suction cups always failed and there wasn't a way to mount it to the headliner or vanity shades like on my previous car (shades are too thick and don't provide rear visibility for the rear detector.

So it was Blendmount, suffer, or spend $2,000+ to get it hard wired and placed into the mirror w/laser shifters. :eekdance:

I don't park much out in the open anyways - car is in a secure covered garage at work and in my garage when at home.

one way is to use the clip that comes with the radar detector and clip it into the ceiling at the top of the glass. route your wire along the ceiling liner down the a-pillar to the fusebox.

But then it doesn't have rear visibility, does it?

I thought about that, but didn't want to ruin the headliner trying, lol.

It's too late though, I bought the Blendmount, I have to use it. :icon17:

What cracks me is that every sunshield I have ever used comes with a warning that says not to drive with the shade in place.

No, I haven't found a way to use both easily. I have a temporary "solution" that I'm too embarrassed even to describe. I'm still undecided about my long-term route as I really like both the Blendmount and this particular shade. I will probably end up going with a more flexible sun shade that I can "unroll" or easily bend to get it underneath the Blendmount.

It seems that this particular sunshade could have worked with the Blendmount IF it had more vertical folds (especially in the center) or one horizontal fold. I may try to crease it horizontally prior to ordering a different sun shade, but I'm not to that point yet. And I'm not sure that it would still stay in place if it were creased.

Yes, this is one of the big attractions of the Blendmount to me. Plus it seems to position the radar detector almost optimally. I considered using a visor clip, but that position looks as if it would be really poor in the Z.

What if you unfolded part and slid it behind from the side of the detector and continued unfolding from there. Would that work?

Just curious.

Can't be done. Or at least I can't do it. The folds in the shade are too wide to fit between the windshield and the Blendmount/radar detector. That is what I meant above when I said it might work if the vertical folds were closer together, especially in the center.

It's hard to visualize without actually doing it. I was convinced it should be able to work like that even after the first couple of times I tried, but I have not been able to get it to. The way this shade is designed it almost has to be unfolded horizontally, the bottom placed against the base of the windshield, and the top of the shade raised to the windshield.

I purchase the covercraft style sunprotector for every vehicle I've owned. Every single one has lasted longer than my time of ownership, although I wonder if it'll stand the test of time with my Z since I don't plan on ever selling it. Excellent cover, quick on/off, hides easily. No issues with radar detectors, but I don't use one either. :cool:

With the provided options, I'm not too excited about either of them. The only option I don't see in this thread is an actual order from covercraft.com. I ordered their premium which was on sale at $74. I also got free shipping (otherwise $16) by opting in for their promotions.

The bad news is built-to-order, estimated ship date August 11 2021 hahaha.

Here's a link to the product ordered - Part # UV11103GS
