I've been using a product called the Spring Loop Shade for about 10 years...  I
originally bought mine from Costco Wholesale club for about $15.  At the time they
came in two sizes, Large for most mid and full size cars, and Jumbo for most Vans &
pickups...  They came in various colors on one side and a dull silver on the other.
Open there are two circles of material covering the windshield, held in place by the
visors, they kinda look like a bra for Dolly Parton.  Closed they end up being a 12"
diameter circle about 1/2" thick.  I have see similar products at the various chain
stores (ie: Advance Auto, Pep Boys, Autozone), but don't remember the pricing...

Used many years and still works fine...  They are opaque, so make a great privacy
screen as well...
