    SunShade that fits?

    1966 mustang coupe

    I ordered a sunshade from amazon that said it fit my year make and model.  NOpe.

    Too tall.  Seems the windshield is about 20 inches.

    The covercraft visors sold as exact fit are like $70!!!

    Is this the only option?  Not that my ride will spend too much time sitting in the sun but I do live in Texas.  

    thanks

    Airplane people get that aluminum foil covered bubble wrap and cut it to fit their airplanes. Seems fairly popular at the airport.

    I have a heck uva time getting Sun Shades that fit too!
    I got to bend'em and stretch'em to get'em to fit this big old logger head of mine.
    I look sorta like Paul McCartney did with his tiny pink Sun Shades only mine is black (not pink)...

        Anyhow.......they don't fit my head very well!

    I think this stuf would work fine, I used it ontop of my sound deadener and it is just stiff enough that it would set behind your vissers and is easy to roll up to store.
