You can go on Amazon and find any shape or color you would ever need. I have all my vehicles professionally tinted when I first buy them so the suction cup shades have never been necessary. Here in Texas with our extreme heat and sunlight a non tinted car gets way too hot.

Problem in California is that we can't tint the front windows, otherwise I'd do the same.I know there are many that fit universally, but I need to know if any of them fit exactly.

Yes this is what the thread's title says, but not what I read in post #3 above. Just wanted to share availability of high quality and 100% custom windshield shade just in case.

I got a California Pop Top, which is like a mini car cover that covers windshield, side and rear window. I had one for my Vette which fit perfectly, but the one for the SL does not fit as well and is a bit difficult to manage because of the slick finish I maintain on my car. It does keep the inside cool, however.
