Has anyone bought this sunscreen from Mazda. It costs $40 vs one for $8 at AutoZone. Is it really worth the $32? If it's specifically cut to fit my windshield then maybe, but I'm not paying $32 + shipping for a little RX8 printed on it.

 

Yes its specifically cut to the RX-8 windshield... I have one, and I love it

 

It's cut to fit the windshield, but mine won't stay at the top on it's own. I got two little sticky velcro pieces and put them on the left and right side at the top (behind the dark strip on the windshield). It holds there fine now.

 

^ aren't you supposed to use your visors for that?

 

AutoZone

 

I did that at first but the velcro is barely noticeable. Visors are pretty weak in an rx8, so I try to be easy on them.

 

I hated mine...it constantly held water on my sunroof making it a bitch to clean and when i took it off i had 2 permanent lines on my roof...

 

lol, that's not the subject of the post. This is inside the car.

I have the official Mazda one, sure it's expensive but it fits perfectly.

 

You're thinking of the wind diverter for the moonroof.

 

im pretty sure, but not 100% that all the moon roofs are the same, and if thats true the wind deflector is worthless because if you notice you have a little bar that pops up when you open your moon roof. It has a built in wind deflector no sense in buying one. Although i tested and you loose about .5 to 1 mpg when its open on the highway :P. I actually use a car cover, and it keeps the car a lot cooler than the window prop. If its 98+ hot i just tilt the moon roof under the car cover. I use the coverking car cover, its about 300 dollars, but for 15 bucks they send you a cable and lock, so you can lock the car cover on. I know this doesnt stop a thief necessarily but it sure makes other peoples cars look more interesting. Ive always used covers and always will. Keeps the uv damage down here in texas. Protects your paint, and keeps the heat down inside the car. Ive found them to be wonderful and never buy a vehicle without buying a good quality cover for them. I have leather seats to protect though, and as you all know they get a little warmer than the cloth ones in the summer.

 

Like others have said, it fits perfectly. Rolls up nice. Have one and love it.

 

I pesonally only use Coppertone.

That is the only sun screen I would every use.

 

^haha. i'll admit, when i read the title, i thought he was smearing something on the car.

 

^ lol same... I was like "oh god, no..."

 

Haha my thoughts exactly... i think it's called a sun shade?

 

why not just buy the 8 dollar one, cut it to fit then have your wife sew the edge?

 

Have it, love it, fits perfectly. Visors have no problem holding it in place. (However I do find it makes steering a bit dicey, as it negatively impacts visibiity through the windshield, to the point where I'm considering not using it.)

 

Yea, that's gonna happen.

 

What men can't sew? Geez. Lol

 

well if OP is asking, probably he cant sew

 

I got one and love it! Works good on those hot days!

 

I'm using one of those twist and fold screens as a substitute for that right now. Once I need a new one, i'll be buying that. I still need to find one that fits the rear window.

 

hell yea! especially if you have leather seats!

 

just tint it
