Another forum member got one off Amazon for a Subaru, said it fit nearly perfect! It's in a thread about Ariya accessories (buried here somewhere 😆)

I've tried those circular folding ones for my tesla. Its like two loops that that have to twist and fold and doesn't always fold back into its smaller size. Looking for the accordion ones instead.

Considering this one...

Yes I like that fold up style, it's true the hoop kind sometimes boing back out.

It comes close to hitting you in the face too. On the tesla we have a sunshade for the glass roof (Hank's calls it the tesla microwave) and the car get up to 140 degrees in the summer. So far the Ariya is in the low 90s without the windshield screen but it spring right now. Will try the folding one and see what the differences are.

This is what I got based on other member recommended:
It comes w a little pouch to store.
On the top split, it has a velcro to close off.
I haven't tested under TX heat, but it will come soon...

does fit. The split is not made for this car to go behind the rear view mirror so it’s a little snug. If you’re handy, could take scissors split down more but not sure if the material won’t stray. I took some pix. Tried to take one from outside, but too much glare I couldn’t tell if pix is taken. I hate iphone in sunlight.

That's a pretty good fit. Thanks for posting!!

Thanks for replying and posting the pics! Looks like a pretty good fit!

Sure. No problem. Taking it off and twist to fold are a little annoying. I haven’t mastered it yet 😋. It now resides somewhere in the back as I was late.

I get what you mean about the hot days, even when you park under a tree. Sun shades are a must-have for any car owner, especially during the summer months. Personally, I would pay attention to Baby Car Sunshades Landing. They've got some awesome car sun protection products that are perfect for keeping your car cool and comfortable, even on the hottest of days. And the best part is, their products are super easy to install and remove, so you can take them on and off whenever you need them. If you're looking for some specific recommendations, I'd check out their car sun shades for windshields and side windows.

Costco currently has windshield sunshade cover on sale for $8. Also, a bag of 20 microfiber towels for $15.
