Sun Shade for Windshield

I may be old fashioned considering one but does anyone use a sun shade for their front windshield? I've have a few MB accessory one's in the past but they don't seem to make one for the 223? I see a weather tech option which is flexible material then a cover craft which seems to similar to the past MB one's I had and Land Rover for that matter. Anyone been using one? I have the HUD so somewhat concerned with fitment of a generic one.


Thanks!

I bought several for our cars. IMO top-notch quality and excellent performance. Also, they are the OEM sunshade for MB, Porsche....etc

Covercraft is the best one. I use one if I am out of town and the car sits outside a long time.

Totally agree they are the best hands down IMHO. Have them for most of my cars. When I first got the W223 they didn't make one but the one for the previous model W222 works fine.

Why do you consider it "old fashioned" to have a sunscreen/shade?

I put up the sun shade whenever the car is parked outside. We get a lot of sunshine here. Keeps car cooler also.

Surely it is not ''old fashioned'' to me to use a sunshade.
I still use one when I need to park it under the sun.
Mine is not custom made for the 223 but just a generic one, which does its job for many years.

haha I don't know to me it's very practical and protects the car. You would have to ask the young people at my work why they think only older folks would use them!

Thanks all for the feedback! I'll go for the Cover Craft which I think is basically what I already had for previous MBs and my Land Rover just not branded. My only issue with them is they can be somewhat clunky to put up until you get used to them as they are so sturdy.

Worth the "clunkiness"effort
