Sunshade

[Frenzal]

Would like to buy a sunshade for my ITS. Anyone get a suggestion?

I was looking at Weathertech, but don't know about the quality and fitment. Don't have other ideas, so thought about asking here.

Will ideally need to be shipped from Canada to avoid high shipping cost, customs and brokerage fees...

Thanks in advance!

I have the Acura-branded one from the dealer and the material/product is VERY similar to the covercraft covers I've had in my other cars.

It's stiff and bulky (#thatswhatshesaid) but I feel it offers good protection even in Southern California heat. The only annoying thing is that it's cut pretty exact to the front so it isn't super easy to pop in and out of the windshield. My other ones ran just a little smaller that it wasn't as tricky.

The Acura-branded one ended up being cheaper for me since I asked my local dealer to match online prices. Here's a link to one: https://acura.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/acura-windshield-sunshade-8r133s5200

I recently purchased a Galaxy sunshade from Amazon. Fits great and has a black side to attract heat in the winter. Amazon - Galaxy Sunshade

I have weather tech, fitment and quality are very good. I also like that there’s the option to get the full coverage kit:

I've always bought Covercraft Uvs100 sunshades for my car. They're custom fit to the vehicle and have a great fit. Although I haven't compared them side by side, I wouldn't be surprised if they're the supplier for the Acura one, just with a printed logo.

My only issue is that the Blendmount interferes with it.

Thanks for all the replies.

Tinted windshields are illegal here, so that is a no go for me.

I guess I'll go with Weathertech as it ships from Canada. It is a bit expensive (100$), but probably better in the long run than a "one size fits all" from Walmart or Canadian Tire. I had one of these a while back and ended up never using it because it didn't fit well and took a long time to set up.

The Acura one looks good, but does not seem to be available in Canada. Plus if it is 70$US, it will probably be at least 150$CAD!

You may also want to take into consideration that the weather tech shade is a roll-up vs the oem and cover craft which I believe fold. Having to roll it up is a minor annoyance, however an annoyance nonetheless.

Same here. Also their back seat covers are great if you have a dog riding in back, etc. Perfect fitment and great quality. Pricey though.

Ive got made to fit UVS100 CoverCraft shade. It does fit perfectly. I think they are the ones that make them for WeatherTech and other car brands. It makes it a little harder to put in if you have anything hanging on the windshield/mirror. I've got a dash cam on the window and radar on the mirror.

After ceramic tinting the windshield I pretty much stopped using it. And I live in Georgia.

Wish we could have tinted windshield and side front windows here. But it is illegal, and I got caught in the past (had to remove the tint on the side front windows - what a PITA and wasted money!)

I have ceramic tint on my windshield and still use it. I think the ceramic offers great UV resistance but the thickness of the acura/covercraft shade goes a long way in keeping th car cool.

I'm in southern california so hot, dry heat over here.
