>Do any of you know of a source for a good folding sunscreen for the
 windshield?  One of my friends has one in his Bronco that is a single
piece
 which unfolds to cover the windshield AND both front side windows.  It is
an
 insulated foil covered unit that uses suction cups to anchor it to the
side
 windows.  I currently have a cheapo cardboard thing that won't even cover
the
 whole windshield.  I have checked the FLAPS and can't find this type of
screen.<

It struck me that we have quite a nice custom sunscreen for the windsheild
in the camper front curtains. Although perhaps one wouldn't want one's
curtains fading from daily use, in which case making an extra set out of a
reflective-backed fabric could work. No need to carry additional bulky roll
of stuff, and jam it in above dash every stop.
A non-camper owner might fabricate a similar setup by adding some snaps in
the correct places(they are standard snaps, held on by a sheet metal screw
thru center) .
OK, to purists i guess it DOES involve a couple of non-stock holes...
