Stinger Sunshades

[Coast GT]

So the Stinger has been out in Oz now for over a year, and we’re back to another stinking hot summer.

Just wondering if any of our Aussie members have found anyone selling a decent sunshade to fit the front window of the Stinger? Ebay search throws up a couple of results but when you look at the pics they’re not Stingers. I’ve done a basic search of a few websites for Repco, SuperCheap & Auto One and not really found anything for the Stinger, Kia don’t have one as an accessory.

Interested to hear what other forum members are using. Burning hot leather seats/steering wheel aren’t pleasant. I had a sunshade to protect the leather in my Commodore but it’s falling apart so don’t want to put it in my Stinger.

I bought 2 different concertina-type shades that didn't fit the Stinger. Another member recommended the cheap round fabric ones and I have been using them without any problem. They are also easy to pack up and store between the back seat and middle console.

They look very good, but it looks like the top cutout isn’t wide enough to go around the big box stuck on the top centre of the windscreen

Valet park is better.

Ouch that is pricey for a bit of foam. Most of them disintegrate over time particularly along the folds, can’t see this being different looking st the materials. Not worth $140

Totally agree on the price, but it’s made for the Stinger, but too rich for my blood for what it is.

Are they a good fit & quality, most of us have GT (USGT2) down here so is the cut out at the top of it suitable to go around the big square thing (lol) stuck on the windscreen.

Yep, tell us about it.
