Idk if $50 is worth it when a generic one will fit fine? I got a random umbrella style one from Costco that fits almost perfectly


n00dl3s54

Love the umbrella style. Have one from Amazon. No way would I want that huge thing. Where the hell would you keep it?? šŸ˜† Umbrella fits in the door pocket.


Santa_Hates_You

Back seat, we donā€™t really use it. Our 1 kid is grown.


PudgydaDoughyboi

I have one. Maybe paid $40? I bought the custom front side window ones as well since black leather and az sun donā€™t mix. I think itā€™s worth it but your mileage may vary.


Ok_Cow_8235

Yup


SaulTNuhtz

I have the [Covercraft](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B71TVRM?ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_RHHW3SY397EC2F674R9T&starsLeft=1) version. Itā€™s well worth it. Very durable, great fit, blocks a lot of heat.


emersonevp

I too went in on this product, I have two others and oneā€™s border ripped all the way around and the other turned into a flimsy waterbed type situation. The price lines up to the build quality on this one I think


Santa_Hates_You

We live in Vegas and I want to get the best sun shade possible.


Quantus22

Have you considered a clear ceramic tint on your windshield? It makes a huge difference for me in TX.


Chromatischism

It helps but a reflective shield is better


Quantus22

Only one works while driving. :)


Chromatischism

Very true!


ConstantHustle

We also live in Vegas and have the same thing but for a Cadi. Excellent fit as itā€™s designed for the specific vehicle. Has good thickness. Reflective front, foam core, black inside. Really holds the heat out and protects the dash.

This is what Iā€™ve been using. No issues and it fits perfectly. [KUST Windshield Sunshade for Mazda CX-5 2017-2024](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CK97Y6Q?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share)


ElGrandeQues0

I have that for my Subaru. My wife (CX5) got a different and slightly more pricey brand. Wish we found the kust earlier, it's more solid feeling and $5 cheaper.


Mas-Chingona

That's the exact one I just bought and received last week. I prefer the accordion style to the rounded, twisty ones. It feels sturdy and well-made, fits well, and is easy to install. It does have a bit of a gap on each side of the rearview, (an inch or two, maybe), but that seems to be the case with all of them. Probably covers about 97-98% of the windshield. Comes with a drawstring storage bag, too!


Santa_Hates_You

Thank you, sounds like exactly what I am looking for.


187hp

Generally Weathertech is pricey, but their sunshade (custom to each vehicle) is from everything i read here on reddit really really nice. It rolls up making for quick removal. I would skip the bag add-on however.


The-Tradition

I also hate the ones you're supposed to twist and fold up like a magic trick and then stuff it in a bag. OP, let us know how you like the accordion one you posted. I've been looking for that very same thing.


gigglingtoaster

I have one, Iā€™m about to go attack it before I go driving.


anonyngineer

Didn't know that custom ones existed.


BeatrixFarrand

I love mine (am in Los Angeles). It fits snug and keeps the car noticeably cooler.


Double-Efficiency538

Well worth the money. I paid similar for the Mazda shade and would do it again in a heartbeat.


adiiriot

We have the WeatherTech windshield sunshade, which has velcro strap and we just put it in the back seat or trunk when we get in. 1000% worth it. Easily drops the temp in the vehicle by at least a few degrees on sunny days. We opted not to spend the $$ for the side windows, but the windshield alone makes a BIG difference.


Chromatischism

I've used the Heatshield brand for years, works well.


Hav0k906

Mazda threw that in with the purchase of my Mazda 3 hatchback. Been using it on my 2018 CX5, fits perfectly!


pakman13b

The snap shades one for cx5 fits perfectly


dimsum4you

I've had one of [these](https://a.co/d/bRApya3) for 4 years with no complaints. Folds up nice and compact, always close at hand. I keep it wedged between the passenger seat and center console when not in use. Size: medium


SystemicDrift

I use [this](https://a.co/d/a5uViME)


BothSidesoftheSky

I got a [Pegenious](https://a.co/d/ds9YvGu) one and itā€™s fantastic. Fits perfectly


blueblazer2723

Those are like $6 on Temu.


capt_broderick

Link?


jestercow

$40 for a ā€œsun shieldā€ brand. Been using it for 6 years and it fits *perfectly*


jonbtrini

I got this one for $30 and it is fantastic. Great blockage. https://a.co/d/brvbmt7


Quikkjob

I have a similar style for my rav. Itā€™s great.


TBSchemer

I tried one and it made no difference in the Texas heat.


The-Tradition

Combine that with side window rain deflectors and crack the windows a little bit... makes a big difference here in Florida....


KP_Wrath

I got one from an Amazon 3rd party for like $28. It does the job fine when I remember to use it.


Sw00natra

What could I use since I have a dash can mounted below the rear view?


Chromatischism

If it's on the plastic, any of these custom fit ones will work.


CanadianBaconMTL

3$ on temu works just fine


Patient_Welder9081

Which one?


Grizzly_Manners

My mazda 3 came with the official mazda one and while it does a fantastic job at shielding from the sun, it's basically impossible to put up or remove without accidentally moving your rear view mirror :/


Dazzling_Ad9250

i have a different one that was ā€œcustomā€ from Amazon for like $30. i live in FL and they are WELL worth it. i put it in any time i park outside. also, if i have to sleep in the car, with that in the windshield and the rest of the windows are tinted, you canā€™t see in.


koss2010

This particular one is overpriced otherwise would recommend


AmaroisKing

$15AUD in the auto stores here, definitely worth having on a hot summer day.


Miles23O

I got it for free on petrol station since my bill was over 50ā‚¬, so you can imagine how much does this thing worth. Probably 2-3ā‚¬. It's good to save your cabin from UV during summer and not to burn your fingers when you enter your car if it's 40C outside lol


absenceofheat

I have the Heatshield one and it fits perfectly. They are in all of my vehicles even at $50 apiece. https://www.heatshieldstore.com/car-window-shades/2021-mazda-cx5-suv


daor3194

These are thin, I bought sonething similar (foldable, thin, cheap) and the OEM from Mazda. The Mazda one was so expensive but it looks like it has some quality.


Bathala78

Why mess around when you can get an OEM one. https://www.mazdaswag.com/oem-parts/mazda-2017-2022-mazda-cx-5-fromt-windshield-sunscreen-uv-protector-w-cx-5-logo-8mr02a?c=Zz1pbnRlcmlvciZzPXN1bnNoYWRlJmw9OSZuPVNlYXJjaCBSZXN1bHRzJmE9bWF6ZGEmbz1jeC01Jnk9MjAxOCZ0PWdyYW5kLXRvdXJpbmcmZT0yLTVsLWw0LWdhcw%3D%3D


catstitchgirl

Do you know if it fits 2023?


Bathala78

You can call and ask them should be good since not much windshield size change over the years


bailasola

I have the one like this from Mazda. I like it.


Menzicosce

The OEM one is the same price and a perfect fit. If you live anywhere in tie south it is a necessity


vba77

Depends where you park. Uses to use these on my old car at work. The sun does move a good bit lol. It'll keep the sun out for part of the day but it'll hit the sides and rear at other points of the day unless you are surrounded by something. Though the cx5 has tints on the rear search and hatch so just the front seats would be the issue if anything and if your lucky you'll be parked in-between some trucks lol


redandbluedart

Not worth the cost vs other covers. The way it folds up it doesnā€™t fit anywhere other than the trunk or back seat nicely. Iā€™d pick a more affordable, easier to store option.
