What’s a good windshield sun screen for 911s?

I’ve tried a few and they’re all made for newer, larger cars. What have you had success with in an air cooled 911?

Thanks.

I have one that fits the windshield perfectly. It is a silver laminated cardboard that folds up. After several years it still is in good shape.

I will have to look up the manufacturer tomorrow and post that name.

They are pricey, but you really cannot beat the Covercraft ones for any car. They are custom sized to the car. I have them for all my cars.

Our host has similar (maybe the same manufacturer) with a Porsche logo.

Yea, Covercraft. That is the one I have. I bet mine is 10 years old. Made in Oklahoma!

I just fold it up, and put it behind the seats as no one is ever sitting back there.

Another vote for Covercraft. I have one for my JSW, that prompted my GF to get one for her Prius. I already have a Joshyrobots 'burrito' sunscreen for my 911, but if I didn't I'd have a Covercraft for it, too.

I just received this one yesterday mentioned in Flintstones post for our host. It fits really well and feels thick and beefy so I expect it to do it's job well.

I found these on Amazon and it works really well for my 911:

Problem is that they are out of stock!
