+1 on the Covercraft shield. Works great for me too.

seeing the 50 years logo on it, glad I made right decision! pretty cool looking and clean!

TJP, This looks very nice.

Khyber, good choice. Back in December when I bought mine these weren't available for the '15 model. I'm glad they are now!

yep, can't go wrong with the covercraft one. I ordered it like 2 months ago..still going strong in the hot Florida sun, perfect fit, i don't have to force anything. and i liked the sturdiness of it.

From what I've seen and read, the covercraft seems like the best for the money. However, even the ones with logos are tiny logos.

I want a logo across the whole thing. Guess I'll have to settle on the small logo.

I bought 1 from the dollar store for 1.99. Does the same thing lol.

You get what you pay for in materials quality.

I love my Heatshield. I order one with every vehicle.

Am I the only one who has trouble getting it to stay up? Doesn't seem tall enough or am I doing something wrong lol

Not sure its worth its own topic. Just wanted to ask what people have for the sunshade. I don't mind paying extra for a quality product.

I've had several covercraft sunshades & they all fit great. For some odd reason, I decided to be cute w/ this one. Fits, pretty decent all things considered:

I ordered the covercraft almost immediately because I love their product. Did not fit GT prem without serious shoving. It would wear out a pillar plastic as well as probably end up in a crushed UVS-100. It was binding mostly because of the tweeters, but that + rake of the windshield was making it difficult to put in and remove, because I kind of had to slide it past not quite extended, then smash the corners in then recenter then fold down mirrors because it wouldn't just push up past the a pillars.

Compared to my previous one on my WRX which fit like a glove, so I returned it and I'm still looking for something else. There shouldn't be any binding or shoving trying to install these.

The latest has been revised for the GT Premium because of the tweeters. I got lucky and ordered after re-do. Fits great.

Sounds like you might need to use the Visoragra kidding! Yeah Bro...meant to be used with the visors holding it in place.

I have both the WeatherTech® TechShade® and the Covercraft® UVS100® with the 50 YEARS logo. I am not particularly satisfied with either of them, especially considering their prices ($50 and $57, respectively). Honestly, I've always used the collapsible Kraco® Magic Shades® in my previous vehicles, and I'm far more satisfied with their function at a much more reasonable price ($8).

I used the TechShade® for the first four weeks after purchasing my Mustang. It fits the windshield of the car extremely well. The fitment of this shade truly exemplifies "custom fit". It has a noticeable effect on the amount of heat in the vehicle after a day in the Texas heat. This alone makes it difficult for me to completely discount the TechShade®. However, this shade does not fold. Instead it must be rolled up, and the stiffness of the material makes this difficult. There is very little room in the cabin to roll up such a bulky item, and it's nearly impossible if you have a passenger in the car. This makes it impractical for daily use.

I received and started using my UVS100® about a week ago. It looks great in the car, especially with the 50 YEARS logo proudly visible in the center of the windshield. It folds very easily for quick stowage behind the passenger seat. However, while the shape of this shade matches the windshield, the "custom" fit leaves a lot to be desired as it is about 3" narrower and 1" shorter than the windshield recess. Also it is physically hot to the touch and leaves the interior noticeably hotter than the TechShade® after a day in the sun. Finally, there is no strap to secure the shade while being stowed. The TechShade® uses a hook-and-loop strap, and the Magic Shades® use an elastic band.

While I have not yet purchased the collapsible Magic Shades® for the Mustang, past experience has taught me that they work well and are extremely easy to use. These shades consist of two semi-metallic fabric panels each surrounded by a ring made of spring steel. The beauty of these is that they can be twisted together into a small circle space with the flick of the wrists. If you've never used them before, it can take some practice to get the wrist action down. They are thin, so when folded up they fit nicely between the center console and passenger seat. These shades also have a reduced effect on interior cooling, approximately equivalent to the UVS100®. (Note that I have not measured the differences among the three shades with a thermometer yet, but I may do so this week.) Also since these are universal shades, they do not cover the entire glass area of the windshield. The shape of the panels leaves a triangular shaped gap in each of the four corners of the windshield and top and bottom center as well. The steel ring can also be very hot to the touch after a day in the sun.

Hope this helps with your decisions. If I get around to doing the temperature comparison among the three, I'll post the results.

Cover Craft is nice but I picked up a medium universal sunshade for 8.99 at Autozone. It fits well and works great with the window tint I already installed.
