What size was it originally? I’ve tried a couple but if they fit left to right they don’t fit top to bottom and vice versa

Largest one from Kmart $4 then I bought one inch edging ribbon from Spotlight (about 4.5m) and got someone to bend edges with sewing machine. It took two before I got the fit right.

I was more curious on dimensions if you knew them, I had 70x150cm but it was too tall and too wide to fit the window, the next size down was 65x140 I think which was too tall but the width was ok. I’ve currently got 60x130cm height wise it’s ok, but it’s about an inch short each side in width so I’m tolerating it at the moment rather than a scalding hot steering wheel and seats on these constant 30+ degree days we’re having but I’m not happy with it. I got them from Super Cheap, SCA brand. Haven’t checked out KMart yet. What brand was yours?

No you buy the big one which is the only one they sell i think and you cut it to size.

65 x 140 should be ok. You need to cut a template first then you can overlay it on sunshade and cut.
Supercheap rip you off, kmart ones are exactly same way cheaper.

It was too tall, had to bend it pretty bad to fit under the mirror, didn’t look good. As for templates and cutting that’s just too much effort. I’ll keep looking for one that fits.

Ive tried them all and from everywhere, you wont get one to fit thats why i made my own or spend $140 and buy a fitted one online.

The only one that came close was a springy black one from repco which fitr6 had. The only issue is its not heat reflective and a bugger to fold up, cheap rippable fabric.

Just got online and saw this. I actually started a thread before Xmas in the down under section re sunshades. Was thinking last night we should be adding this conversation to that thread.
