Self-adhering sun shades

[islandboy]

I would appreciate recommendations on self-adhering sun shades for the aircraft windows.

Here's an example: https://www.amazon.com/Enovoe-Car-W...ling+window+shades&qid=1715352195&sr=8-5&th=1

Ah, I see. These ones are quite focal.

I was thinking about something larger that I might be able to slap on the front and rear windows when parked for the afternoon. I had previously tried something with suction cups, but they would release before my return to the aircraft. The one stuck to the rear window was more prone to an early failure.

I wonder whether something like this might perform better: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X2TUW1I/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

For a parked airplane, you really need something like this https://www.kennonproducts.com/general-aviation/

Ah- before I had my travel cover, I used an automotive shade (like fanfold mylar bubble wrap) that I bought at a car wash or gas station...

I've been using something like that for the front window, but they decay rapidly given the solar conditions that I experience. The more vexing problem is dealing with the rear window when I'm going to be on the ground in the heat for 3 - 4 hours.

I used a couple of these in my AA-1A, which has an easy-bake canopy for summer flying. They work great and are easy to reposition.

I bought mine from the local Walmart store.

A large spring steel shade for the rear, two pairs for each side window, and an accordion style for the windscreen that I trimmed to fit.

I have Bruce's sun shades. They use suction cups for the side windows. I have not had any issues for up to 5 days, even though I don't stick all the suction cups.
