Sun Shade needed for Solstice....

Hello! I live in AZ, and with the hot season rapidly approaching I suddenly realized I don't have a sun screen that will fit my windshield! I've been using one of those pop-up magic shade screens (with cool dragon eyes print), but it's a standard size, and will only fit when I have the top up. (I have to stick it in the gap at the top seal) I can't find any "small" sized screens. Any suggestions? What is everyone else using?

dam,
I never thought anyone here would have heard of KMFDM. Guess i'm used to being considered the odd person.

It's fairly smooth-very stiff-it rolls up with velcro and will fit behind a seat fine. Definitely not a cheap cheesy flimsy thing! Folding it, say in half with it rolled up, not an option!

LOl naw...

It was a goofy nickname I had back in Jr. High back when I was a wannabe "hacker" For some bizzare reason it kinda stuck. I have a handful of old school friends who still refer to me as "Kap"/"Kaptain" It gets a little bizaare when we are in a group in public.. All these mystified stares wondering why this little mexican guy, and this huge black guy are referring to me as a "Captain"

I'm in arizona as well and to tell you the truth, no matter how small they are they are still a pain in the rear to store and get out when you want it. I end up just never using mine. My windows are tinted real dark so I just don't park the car facing the sun.

Yay for Valley of the Sun Stroke!

Oh and, the one I got bends and stuff into a small circle shape and fits fine behind the seats or in the trunk no matter if it's up or down. I got it at WallyWorld for like 8 bucks. It's cloth and reflective cloth on both sides.
