- Custom-fit sunshade – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: HeatShield – Advanced Windshield Reflector HeatShield is an automotive windshield reflector, “sun shade,” or “sun visor,” custom designed to fit the shape of each car model’s windshield. The HeatShield material is simple and unique. A special metallized polyester film, laminated to a thin layer of closed-cell foam, with a clear polyester film back. HeatShields are custom cut using the latest in computer-aided cutting technology. Then they are sewn around the edge with a cloth binding. So HeatShields are reflective, insulating and custom fit for every car. INSTALLATION HeatShield installation is easy and quick… Lay the Heat Shield across the dash. Lift up to the windshield. Drop the sunvisors for support HeatShield is stiff enough to be supported by the sunvisors alone, but it is flexible enough to be bent around the mirror. Once installed, HeatShield will reduce the interior temperature at the dashboard by as much as 40 deg. F. (25 deg. C.) HeatShields are simple to use, but they are just as easy to store! PRODUCT STORAGE When not in use, store your HeatShield like this: Lift sunvisors and pull HeatSheild down. Roll up from end to end. Wrap the attached Velcro strap
- Rolls up with a velcro tie when not in use
- No logos or graphics

I have a 2010 Insight, I purchased with the hope it would fit, it fit perfectly. What more can I say, great price and product and it fits a 2010 insight also.

Well it fits perfect in my 08 Civic 2dr, I just got it so only time will tell if it will start falling. But it looks very secure a perfect fit. I will update later if it let’s me.

Fits so perfectly. Don’t even have to hold it up with sunshades. Definitely keeps car cooler. Love it.

I bought this for my 8th generation Civic Coupe (2009) about six weeks ago because I was not aware of another option. It fits the Civic’s large windshield perfectly and does it’s job.
However it’s thick and nearly impossible to get rolled up and for it to stay rolled up. I kind of fold it up the best I can and shove it over the front seats so it can lay across the back seat when I’m driving. Fortunately I never have rear seat passengers as I’d have to put it in the trunk! It’s not quick to use and if it’s not a bright sunny day I won’t even bother putting it up. No kidding!
There has to be a better design out there, but if not and you want a sun shade for the Civic’s large windshield, this is it.

What a difference from those little cheap windshield reflectors…. worth every penny.
It covers the entire windshield from corner to corner, and it makes a huge difference in the heat inside the car…I would say at least 15 to 30 degrees difference!!! You don’t get burned or start sweating immediately after getting into the car (Texas Summer’s I tell you!) and it also helps your car take it easy on your A/C. Ours has a climate control, and it doesn’t get strained as much after a long day parked in the sun thanks to this Heatshield!
The only con is the huge bulk, if you don’t have much room in your backseat you will probably need to keep it in the trunk and remember to take it out whenever you are going to leave the car in the sun more than a half hour.
