GL450 sunshade?

Desperately looking for best sunshade. Have black/black and expecting 3rd child in September. Looked on Amazon but no custom sunshade found. Recommendations?

Can't really comment on "best," but we had a generic that worked well on our R and ML, then happened upon the OEM version for our GL. Difference is significant. The OEM version comes in its own bag (not easy to get in/out though), but the function is far superior due to the fit and the fact that it is a semi-rigid board with reflective material. Literally the best of this type of product I've come across. Buy the OEM on this one for sure. Not affiliated, but check oediscountparts.com (ask for Mike L if you call). Everyone has their favorite site, but this is a dealer on the East coast that is legit and sells for the right price. (my opinion)

Just checked, should be around $60 shipped by the way.

I second that - OEM one is the way to go.

I used one of the rigid folding shades on another car and it was just inconvenient to use because there wasn't a good place to keep it when not in use. The $10 soft shades with a metal surround can collapse to a size that can fit under the seat or between the center console and seat.

Bought OEM version. Very satisfied but hard to stash away with two kids in the back and a passenger up front. It is worth the burden as long as it keeps out the heat. Thanks for the recommendation!
