In search of the perfect sunshade...

I hated how the sunshade didn't work that well, so I got a reflective one.
I hate how the reflective one keeps falling, so I think I need a custom fit one (or other solution).
I hate how the reflective one is still HUGE and there's a problem of where to put it when it's folded up (I have my kids in the back and they throw it back at me)

So.... what's your favorite sunshade for your subie?

Limo tint? kidding, I have never had a problem with the big foldy reflective one falling. I had no idea there was an alternative. Mine fits in my door pocket when folded up well. Zip ties would work on keeping the kids from throwing it back at ya!

Zip ties to control the kids or the sunshade?

I have this one... It twists up into a small circle which can fit in the door pocket or even right under the seat.

Amazon.com: Subaru Auto Reflective Sun Shade: Automotive

What I like most about it is that when it is fully opened... it PERFECTLY fits between the A pillars and the windshield. So you dont have to flip the visors down to hold it.

It is thin enough that it barely fits between the A pillar trim and the windshield and is PERFECTLY wide enough to span the whole windshield AND barely tuck under the A pillar trim.

I saw that... is that a universal Subaru fit? Because it didn't look model specific, yet it has a perfect fit?
