Given that one of my dash leather panels is starting to push, and what I've read, I know that having a sun shade is a must if you park in the sun... which I do every day I park at work.

Now, I have a cheapo sun shade I bought years back for my old SLK. This is not tall enough for the windshield/visors, because of how tiny the visors are on the car.

Which sun visor do you use?

 

CoverCraft... fits perfect

 

I bought mine from this place: Search Google for "Heat Shield Store" and it will probably be number 2 on the search list. Excellent Product, fits perfectly, rolls nice for easy carry

 

Thanks for the "Heat Shield Store", I just ordered one. Same company made my aircraft cover and it's top notch. Will bet the shield is of the same quality.

 

Are their shades soft or hard and foldable, with double sided material? (i.e. one side reflects the sun in the summer and the other absorbs heat in the winter...)

 

They're reflective on both sides to get rid of maximum heat. Primary purpose is to keep the Dashboard cool--this is particularly important if the dash is a dark color and will get to be much hotter than the air in the car. It rolls up(not folded) and is secured with a velcro strap. For many cars, you can get these custom fit for all the windows in your car. For the Aston they have the heat shield for Front and Rear, for my Audi they also have them for the side windows.

 

I got front and rear for my Vantage as soon as I got the car. They're perfect. I also like that they come from my home town.

One minor nit to pick. As you use them, the creases from rolling and re-rolling cause a bit of shrinkage in the side to side dimension. Still covers well, just stops short of the A pillars.

 

Google Eclipse sunshade
I have it for my BMW and db9.
You have to measure vertical height of the windshield and they will suggest the best fitting one. Reasonable priced.

 

Odd, they don't have Aston in their website. Do you have a photo of how your car looks with it?

 

I got this one...it fits perfectly:


It's like the ones I had for my Jags. It folds, fits the windshield outline perfectly, and has a reflective side for summer and a darker, cloth side for the winter to absorb heat.

I also just got UV/IR film (75% tint, so practically clear) on *all* of my glass this weekend. The side and back glass were already tinted (from the factory I guess), so all I needed was something to block the UV and IR through the glass. The windshield is still clear so no issue with tint there. But the film will block almost all of the UV and IR heat through the windshield when in the sun.

 

I will post pics in few days, but looks pretty good. Yup they don't have listed but if you email them or call them they will ask for vertical length of your windshield and then suggest one. It has cut out for mirror and sensor too.

I think it was 22 inch one that's what I have. I don't like fold up ones as it's occupies space in leg room, and it's tedious.

This one takes only 2 seconds to pull together. Very durable, I have been using it for 4 years on BMW and AM I got in 11/2013.

 

Doesn't it add thickness to the A pillars? Wondering how it folds up.

 

Here are the pics.

It was not sunny but looks good in reality.

 

Thanks! This explains how it's attached.

 

I have Magic Shade by Axius. They fit well and fold up nicely to fit behind your seat.
