Carhartt Sun Shade - is it worth it?

[Jaylinb]

Looking for a good sun shade that will cover my 2004 Tahoe and near had a heart attack when I saw the price on the Carhartt brand. $77!
Is it really worth that much? Does anyone have this brand shade and do y'all like it? Or do you have a diff brand that works great?

Are you in the right section? That looks like it's for a 2021 Tahoe.

I use a Covercraft, just the plain silver style and it works well and fits perfect. If you like it, buy it. Mine was $55 last year.

Dickies, 2 disc style. Silver on one side, black on the other. Fits perfect and don't even need to pull the visors down to hold them. The frames are springy and hit enough of the edges around the windshield they stay in place by them selves.

$15 @ Walmart

Depending on the weather conditions... I use a typical interior sunshade if it's sort of cloudy, but warm.... But, when the sun is very hot ... I use a shade that is designed & used outside of the windshield. ( I think it is sold as a protection from snow ).... It is water resistant & chrome shiny on the outside. The inside temperature is about 30 + degrees cooler than an interior shade, because the windshield isn't as hot.

I've had it for 4 years and is still in perfect condition ...I think it sold for less than $30.

Do you have a link to this product you can share? Thanks in advance!

Just use the regular Cover Craft unless you really love Carhart or that color that much. I do think they’re worth the money since they’re made for the car and fit the windshield to let through as little sun as possible.

I have some off brand one I got off eBay it’s black with a punisher logo and silver on the inside. But it doesn’t stay in place unless I use the visor, it was a lot of money, like $10

+1 for the $15 Dickies one from Walmart. Works well and stows nicely right between the driver seat and center console.

Opps..... I lost this thread.... I think you will have luck on Amazon. Search for sun / snow shades.

cheaper than what gm want's for one, I priced a build out not long ago a carhartt sunshade was $200 lol

Well, what did you want for your horse, which is not cheap? If you do not want to pay that much, look at analogs on different sites like eBay. I personally like the tents from here https://snapshades.com.au/car-sun-protection-for-infants/. They have a great selection, but I'm not sure you'll find your size. Which is also important. You will kill the body if the car is not covered with an awning. Ask around more auto mechanics who work with different stores. They may have different opinions.

Was looking at them again to get one for the Sierra, the one I bought in 2021 is now about $75, that fancy one the OP mentioned is now about $100, all due to inflation. The GM ones with the GMC logo are $75 plus shipping. These are for GMT-900s.
