good 4Runner sun shade?

Im in AZ and it was over 100 F today, time to buy a sun shade. I searched "sun shade" and came up with a rec for "Performance Products" UV shield. It looks like it costs ~$45 (but it looks niiiice). ANyone have one or another they recommend?

Thx

I just use one of the foil coated foam ones. I think the brand is Axius or something and I just got it at Target.

I worked a summer in Phoenix - sun shades are a lifesaver!

Yeah man, Phoenix is usually a bit hotter than us in Tucson. With the T outside over 100, the inside is just plain ridiculous. At least I can park in a garage at work (I should be able to park in one at home too as soon as I clean the SOB out). And to think some idiots leave their kids and dogs in cars while they run into a store "for just a minute".

I'll check out Target

I forgot to put my sunshade in the window one day and I swear when I grabbed the shifter to put it in reverse, I had

I have a foil one that has suction cups on the top corners to hold it in place. It's blue on one side & silver on the other & is big enough to cover the 4Runner windshield. The suction cups work well, even in the Fla sun.
It wasn't expensive & I picked it up at Discount Auto parts or Pep Boys not sure which.

Those do look nice. I just got tint yesterday so I dont think I would use the side pieces, but they look good. Thanks for the suggestion.
