Default Sunshade, custom fit only?

I wasn't going to bother with one, but stupidly failed to realise i park in the full sun when we leave the house (garaged at home) so i'm looking for a custom fit one that hopefully doesn't take up too much space when not in use.

I've had the cheap generic ones before, they don't last too long and fitment is hit and miss, so it looks like ~$50 is where we're at.
Has anyone used/own the Weathertech or the Huskyliners custom fit shades?

Is there another brand of custom fit that would work better?

I've had the Weathertech for over 3 years now. I use it every day rain or shine. Blocking as much UV rays as possible is a huge interior saver. It fits the windshield perfect but it is big and rolling it up takes some getting used to. Big hands are your friend. It snugs up nicely with the included velcro strap.
For storage it fits nicely on the floor under the front of the rear seat in my Supercrew cab. I'm usually not a fan of Weathertech products but all in all I can't complain much about it. It does what it's supposed to do and there aren't many alternatives that i can think of. Hope this helps.

I've had a WeatherTech for over 3 years now, no issues. It's also 2 sided, silver on one side for summer, black for winter..

WeatherTech here as well, had it for about 3 years now. Seems to be good quality, doesn't feel flimsy and it's two sided as 1Alibi2 mentioned.

Thanks - seems the roll-up of the Weathertech does make it somewhat bulky - it looks like the Husky version is a concertina fold up version, though i don't think there are pictures of it folded up.

I have the one from Cover Craft. Also have one in my wife's Fusion. I'll try and get a quick pic at lunch time. More of a fiber board accordion type but fits nice. I just put it on or under the back seat.

With visors forward that light coming through at the top is completely blocked even with the dash cameras up there

I've had a covercraft for 4-5 years now and works well. Folds up and just keep it in the backseat during summer. Between that and 5% tint all around, even on a hot summer day, interior is only a few degrees warmer than outside.

Covercraft and Husky are one in the same. The Weathertech has a better fit primarily around the rear view mirror area.

I saw this last night, it'd be nice to have a bag to put them in, but only the most expensive version has a bag and the Husky just isn't optioned with it.

II do like the concertina fold up as opposed to the roll up though, i feel it's better use of the space.
