Default Windshield sunscreen

I just had the windshield replaced on my SCREW. The old one had a RONIX sunscreen across the top 8 0r 9 inches but the new one doesn't. I haven't been able to find a source for another sunscreen. Has anyone run into this and come up with a source for one. It doesn't have to be a RONIX just a screen for the top of the windshield.

What? Are you talking about the factory blue tint at the top?

Most likely was a custom decal. Only thing I have ever seen is either a light fading tint strip at the top (factory or aftermarket) or a custom decal. What color was it? How far down the windshield did it come? More details please.

New windshield has a light blue tint along the top. The old one had some sort of vinyl sunscreen along the top that came down probably 6" and provided additional screening. I'm having trouble finding a replacement. The sun is hot here at 7000' in the mountains and I'd like to have the additional screening.

It will be a custom thing. It depends what you want on it. Walmart used to carry camo ones. Ebay is full of them. Just search Ebay for what you want followed by windshield decal or sticker. Here a Rick and Morty one! http://www.ebay.com/itm/60-Cartoon-R...BXaqvO&vxp=mtr

A tint shop can cut a strip of tint for you. I just use the sun visors.

Ronix is a sporting goods manufacturer. Was it just a full width decal on the outside with the company logo?

You can also get a clear tint on the windshield that blocks UV rays. Some tint shops offer them as a legal way of tinting your windshield.
