GPS Sun Shade / Shield

[rickfen]

Certain times of the day, the sun obliterates my GPS screen (7 inch). If I hold a piece of cardboard out over the top of it, then i can see the screen. I've seen shades for portable units are available, but have found nothing larger for a car, just "home made" solutions. Has anyone come up with something or found a suitable shade. Maybe it could velcro to the dash and still "look good".

Do a search there is a previous thread discussing this subject. They found an anti-glare screen protector which seems to work although visibility may have been reduced. I think the glarestomper is for aftermarket units.

I cut some plastic .030" shim stock to fit the width, and let it hang 2-1/2" past the trim on the dash, then painted it to match the trim. I used a heat gun to put a fold in the shim stock at @ 3/8" to slip it under the dash trim.

Any way to post a pic of your installation. Where does one get "shim stock" from

Thanks
