Side Window Sun Shade Options

Now that I have my "Li'l Bean", I am beginning to discover things that I need. I am extremely light sensitive, and while the visor does turn, it doesn't cover enough of the side window to help me shade my eyes.

I know there are pretty cheap sun screens out there, but I thought I'd throw this out and see what comes back. Keep in mind that, in the State of Rhode Island, we cannot tint side windows (my first thought).

Thanks.

Doenut

There are always the screens with the suction cups that people with kids normally use to shield them from the sun.
Just pop the bottom cups loose when you want to roll your window down a bit...

I bought a side shade for my wife (as I am always the driver). I got it on the Internet and would have search for where I got it.

Doenut, check the Air Blue post in the mods section/interior. this film is an almost invisible light blue color and it protects your interior,blocks UV and keeps the interior COOL. Hope this helps!! Cheerz, SmartChip

Hey Doenut;
If you are more concerned with coverage rather than looks, take a look at my do-it-yourself side sunshade on my car's website, BLUE MAX MODS HOME PAGE.
I know my solution is not pretty, but it really gives good coverage.
