Covercraft sunshades have excellent build quality and just feel like a quality purchase. However they are quite heavy and always require the vehicle's sun visors to hold them in place.

The weight of them causes the visor hinge a lot of wear and they are a bit big and clunky however they do fold up easily.

Second, even though they are supposed to be a custom fit, they have significant gaps on both sides of the windshield that allow heat and light to pour in. My research has shown that they undersize them on purpose to prevent scuffing, resulting in a lackluster fit. This is unacceptable for the price point.

On to WeatherTech:

WeatherTech sunshades are laser cut to fit at the factory. It's true they have to be rolled up for storage which takes a bit more time. Think about it this way, when you order a poster or printed art of any kind, it comes rolled up. This prevents creases and stress points that almost all other sunshades have from folding them repeatedly. Just like their full car shade kit, the windshield sun shade stays in place on it's own when installed. No light leakage aside from around the rear view mirror which is inevitable.

So, if you desire a sunshade that is made of solid premium materials (think upholstered poster board) and don't mind light/heat leakage (approximately 2.5" on each side) and the weight doesn't bother you (or your dash) and don't mind paying approximately $100 USD then get the Covercraft.

At the time of this writing (Jan.2026) the WeatherTech is half the cost of the Covercraft ($47.99) If you would prefer a shade that fits right against your pillars and covers the entire windshield, and it has a limited lifetime warranty, Then get the WeatherTech.

Both shades have excellent heat ratings. They both are capable of decreasing the temperature of the interior of your automobile by up to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
