Nvstig8tr Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) I couldn't find any mention of the CoverKing Custom Fit Sunshield for the C-MAX. As you know, the glass surface is HUGE and I wanted something that would really protect my interior from the glaring Florida sun. These products are approximately $37.00 on Amazon, a little cheaper than the $43.74 SRP from the manufacturer, and I'm an Amazon Prime Member so I didn't pay any shipping. My first response was amazement at how perfectly the CoverKing fits the C-MAX windshield, tucking into every corner with any gaps or buckles that can occur from a poorly-fitting stock sunshade. Here are some photos! The downside for this custom fit? It doesn't fold up quickly like the accordion designs at Walmart. You have to roll it up and use an attached velcro strap to secure the bundle. It's tall once you roll it up, as you can see in the last photo. Otherwise, it's probably the best-fitting sunshield you can find.

Kelleytoons Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I have a perfect fitting shield as well (but it's an accordion and folds easily) but we never use it -- it's *way* too big and takes up too much room (and despite easily folding it takes way more time to put up and take down, particularly with passengers in both sides). Instead I just use the easily foldable sunshades that Wally World carries and quite frankly I can't see why anyone would need anything else (but to each his or her own).

Nvstig8tr Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 The CoverKing takes me less than 30 seconds to put in place and a front seat passenger can actually make it a 15-second exercise. It's not a big deal to install and ANY type of shade requires finding a place to store it when not in use. :) ptjones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockwallRick Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 We have one similiar to that but my Wife has only used it one time as far as I know? In my case, it was a waste of money! :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelleytoons Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Yeah, that's been my experience. As I said, everyone needs to find something that works for them, but the custom fit ones just don't for my wife and I (and the foldable ones can fit easily between the seats so you don't even know they are there).

ptjones Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 We use Heat Shield by Canvas Works all the time and it works great, similar to Cover King. :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
