Anybody know if mylar windshield sunshades are available?

I'm talking about the ones that were applied to the top, inside of the windshield.

The ones I remember were silver and had "240Z" in darker letters that could be seen from outside the car.

Did some web searching have not found a source...

Haven't seen those in years. That's the type that requires moisture to install, right? Had one on my 510. I've had the type that cling to the glass since the and are usually dark with white lettering but I don't think that's the type you're looking for.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, what Julio is looking for is the 'tint strip' that goes across the top of the windshield. I don't think that he's actually looking for a sun shade.

Yep, that's what I'm talking about, the type you moisten with water to install. I've spent about an 1/2 hour looking on-line, but no luck so far.

I've looked longer than that several times over the past year, without any luck. I've considered seeing about getting one made locally.

If you just want to add a strip of tinting along the top, you can get a roll of tinted stuff that you just cut to length and press in place. I put one on my other car, and it's been there for 10 years so far. I put ut in line with the rear-view mirror, leaving a gap at the top so you can see the traffic light if you too close. I've never needed to use the sunvisor that way.

I think that if you wanted something with a logo on it, a sign shop might be able to put some graphics on tinted vinyl for you. Either that or a ricer shop.

I don't use a sunshade per se, but I do have two lexan panels that snap into the windscreen. They are painted gray on the back, and on the front I stuck on dash plaques from all the car show I went to. The panels store behind the seat, and the car is noticeably cooler.

Is there a sun shade for the hatch glass?

I talked to a couple of shops about making these. As you'd expect, the mirrored mylar part is easy. The '240Z' (or other) logo is the hard part. Most tint, sign and glass shops just flat said no. One said he could put the mylar on the inside, but the only equipment he has to die-cut the logo won't cut the thin tint material, only sticker-grade vinyl. The vinyl is too thick to stick to the inside of the glass and then try to apply the mylar over it. His best advice was to put the mylar on the inside and the logo on the outside of the glass. Not sure how that would look, plus I think the vinyl logo would be in the path of the wipers.

Short answer - still looking...
