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. |

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.

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. |

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. |

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 https://www.covercraft.com/us/en/pro...-sunscreen.UVP |
