I used that in my rx8, it was a double set, worked well BUT the bottom edge would dig into the bottom of the windsheild. Down there is some kind of foam that is glued down, and so the shade would stick to it and when I removed the shade it would sometimes pull out some of the foam.

So I ordered the OEM sunshade, it fits perfectly and works well, but the problem is, the sunshade after about 1-2 months will start to bend inwards. You'll have to use your visors to keep it in place, but even that will not prevent it from sagging inwards.

The fix is to sew in two thin plastic or wooden strips to prevent it from sagging. I haven't yet gotten around to doing that.

I 've got one of those as well. It works real well. I didn't have the problem with it sagging because it rested on my radar detector. Don't bother putting the visors down, it fits well inbetween the glass and the window surround.

For added fun, hand it to your buddy to fold. It might take him a few minutes.
