Thanks for the pictures! Do you have one of it folded up? I assume it folds like a accordion along the lines in the pictures, right?

When you go to put it in the window, do you have to buckle it to tuck it in place? If so, does it crease where it buckles?

It doesn't crease no, it is a pretty tight fit, and yes it folds like an accordion. It will kind of slide down into place and then you push up.

Thanks...I ordered the blue too. I was hoping the gap behind the rearview mirror would be smaller...my windshield tint should take care of that gap though.
Yea, it barely clears the mirror right now, so any tighter and it wouldn't fit.

Does anyone have suggestions for picking one of these up in Canada?

Also, where do you store the shield when you're in the car?

I was actually wondering where people store the shield as well since it seems pretty big.

Wow, that fit looks good. I might need to pick up one of these. It's going to get really hot here in Florida soon :) Hopefully my dash cam mount doesn't get in the way of the fit.

Sorry this took so long, I am an accountant so the last few days have been ... busy lol.
When I used to have these types of covers, I would normally lay it on the floor in the backseat. Granted, it's only usually me that rides in my car, and sometimes a passenger in the passenger seat so the backseat rarely gets used. Of course, you can always throw this in the trunk if your backseat gets used often :)

It will fit nicely in the footwell of the backseat. It's propped up of course, but easy access and it won't slide around.

Got my Covercraft Blue sunshade. Made well and fits well for the most part. There is a gap on then left and right sides that are larger than I want. My Introtech R sunshade for my 14 fit edge to edge and slid into the gaps between the windshield and the pillars.
