Default Quality interior sunvisor

Does anyone know of any brand that sells a good quality sunvisor for the inside of our jeeps. I am having trouble finding the right size one for the inside of the windshield. I’m looking for one that fits perfectly or almost perfectly. Thanks

No the reflective shade you open up and put to not let sun into your car. It’s also called a sunshade.

Got it.
Pretty sure I have seen a couple that say they are in my travels.
Give me a second. LOL.
It says this will fit my '00.
Says in the description "Custom made for over 2000 different automotive windshield applications."
Whether it is true or not is anybody's guess.

This is a "sun visor".


Sun VISOR. Built into the vehicle.



This is a "sun shade"


Sun SHADE. Aftermarket.

Buy an over sized shade, and trim it to fit. Many new cars have massive windshields, thanks to the slope of them for aerodynamics, but the shades for such cars can be cut to size to fit the shorter more vertical jeep windshield.

Coverking. Buy through their website or at Costco. They’re made to order. Takes a week. Been using one for the wife’s Gx 470 for 8 years. The one for my XJ is 2 years old. I use their seat covers in my XJ also. Those are 6 years old with a lifetime free repair warranty. I agree sunshades are a must in the southeast.
I’m picky as hell and I think you’ll be happy with this brand.

I use Reflectix sold at Home Depot or Lowes, etc. I would get a roll and trace your old one and cut out your new one. This stuff works great and lasts. A second advantage of a whole roll is that you can cut some for your other windows as well. I use playing cards tucked into the window channel to hold them in place. This has kept my leather interior looking new in my 2006 Ford truck.

I tell you what I'd do, the same thing I did on my old Titan XD when I lived in SC. Go to your local tint shop. They likely sell a ceramic film that isn't tinted that they install on your windshield. It blocks the vast majority of the heat from getting in without having to futz with a sun shield. And, since it's permanent, you get the benefits of not cooking to death while you're driving too.

It's held up fine so far, I've had it for a year. It's just nylon, nothing thick, but it does what it is supposed to do and fits nicely. I'm sure there are higher quality options out there. I don't take it off and on very often as my jeep gets mostly off-road use and travel to and from the trails, so isn't a daily driver. that might make a difference I guess, but don't see how it would wear out unless you are abusive with it somehow and don't store it properly.
