Unhappy Sunshield issues!!

Ok, initially when I got the sunshield it fit perfectly and covered virtually every part of the windshield. Now after two weeks of use, its sagging a bit in the middle so obviously its not as good a fit as before and the top corners droop down. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can make the sunshield firm up again?? Anyone else having problems like this?

Thanks in advance for all help.

I have the RX-8 Sunshade, had it for a couple of months and have no problems, still fits perfectly.

You use your visors to hold it up right? I don't know how it could sag that much with the visors holding it up

Did you get the Mazda shades?
I found some reflective shades for about 8 bucks that have wire in the edges that you can twist into a small flat disc. When you want to put it in the window it just pops open. However it takes two of them to cover the front windscreen. I got them at the wally world.

I bought "Magic Shade" in the "standard" size at either Kmart or Walmart and it fits the windshield perfectly. Don't need the sun visors to hold it in at all. The wire frame fits right into the gap between the top and side plastic molding and the glass.
