Thread: Front windscreen sun shade to suit D3/4

I bought one for my RRS from Supercheap the other day - $8 and covers the windscreen perfectly.

Tumbleweeds.

Ive the same issue and look forward to recommendations.

Solarscreen would custom make you one....would be more than $8 but less than $200

Solarscreens for 4x4's & 4WD's
I have the full set for my defer, not cheap but do a good job.

I purchased a "large" vehicle size cheapie (10 bucks on special) from an auto store and cut 6 inches off the top with a pair of scissors.
Been going ok for some time now.(couple of years)

I have a silvered spring steel wire twist up job that we used in the wife's Tarago before we sold that. The Tarago windscreen is larger than the D4's.

SunScreen fits perfectly and "folds" into a dinner plate size when not in use, and lives in the passenger seat pocket. Pretty sure it came from one of the autostores.

I have used these on all of my cars (D1, D4, Hyundai i30, Mazda MX-5, etc etc). The standard one you get from Repco (or wherever you shop for generic stuff). The same as pictured above.
They work really well - in fact the D4 is probably the best fit out of all of my current cars. Folds away quickly, and I normally shove it down the side of one of the front seats.

Interestingly, the i30 screen must have a much larger glass area, as the sunscreen doesn't fit as well on it. I expect it's the rake/angle of the glass, so although a smaller car it has larger glass area.

Not much to look at, but really practical and very cheap! :-)

Can get larger ones from super cheap. Have got 3 from there

I find the shades that go inside the car are pretty pointless as once the heat it through the glass it is inside - I use external ones and my current external one covers the entire windscreen and as stated was $8 at supercheap.
