    I have provided dimensions to Drifta who have started making external ones in canvas with a thermal internal layer. Check their website or FB for details. The dimensions we used mean that the screen will also cover the plastic cowl below the windscreen, which is notorious for getting badly damaged by the sun.

    No word yet on timing as they are developing them for many vehicles and perhaps the D4 is lower priority.

    A slight deviation to the OP but I think useful information. I use a generic sunshade on the inside of the front window and when in Canberra early in the year had that run of 40deg days. On 2 separate occasions I had a fault generated from the Auto Headlight sensor due to overtemp. I reset with my IIDtool and no harm done as far as I can tell. My sunshade has a "U" shapped cutout that allows it to go around the mirror/headlight sensor but it certainly gets verrrrry hot up there, I think I will be looking for the external type before next summer.

    Didn't use my dimensions so it doesn't cover the cowl below the windscreen so I am inquiring about a custom version.

    Can anyone advise: how different is an L319 and L320 windscreen dimensionally? I'd guess the width would be pretty similar?

    I just purchased the Drifta unit.
    Thanks for the tip Scott. It will last the life of the vehicle!

    I've just ordered the Drifta one and also the US one.
    I figure I'll use the Drifta when camping, and the US one in shopping centers etc where it can't be nicked.
    Going to the US in May and will collect it over there.
    I do love this forum!

    As mentioned my external one is less than $10 from Supercheap - works well.

    That's all I have been using for about 5 years now. It does the job and if it ever does get damaged / lost - I'll just buy another one. We have two of them - one on my D4 and the other on the wife's Camry. Can't see the point in spending any more.
