Hey guys,
I went to the DMC mid west summer gathering a couple years ago and someone there had a sunshade in the windshield that was a perfect fit going into all of the corners perfectly. He told me what the brand was but I can’t remember what that was or what his name was. Anybody know what this is? Thanks

Covercraft UV10118SV Silver UVS 100 Custom Fit Sunscreen for Select DeLorean DMC 12 Models - Laminate Material, 1 Pack

Copied from amazon. About $60. I have one and yes it fits perfectly! The color is very close to stainless steel so looks great.

The covercraft is a perfect shade for the car unless you've redyed the interior. For some reason the edge fiber material messes with the SEM at high temperatures (I live in Florida) leaving a small mark behind. Nothing crazy, but definitely visible. This is a non-issue for non-dyed dashes.

Nice! Any pictures of it fitted to the car?

Thanks. It looks like it fits really well.

Yikes! That's a pricey W/S cover. Does it make that much of a difference when compared to the less than perfectly fitted ones?

Does it make that much of a difference when compared to the less than perfectly fitted ones?I got mine a couple years ago for $51 from a website called UltraRev which apparently no longer exists. Aside from a good fit, it's also very sturdy (unlike flimsy cardboard) and has a reflective surface. The cheaper ones you find at Pep Boys aren't in the same league.

So I ordered it and put it in and there is about an inch and a half gap on either side of the window – is that how it should be? I was hoping it would fit in there more perfectly to keep the sun off the pillars. Thanks

The one from DMCH covers the whole windshield and is less expensive than the covercraft. Just saying.

I have the Covercraft sunscreen and yes, it does leave a gap near the A pillars.

I've been meaning to turn this into a sunshade for fun.

Awesome, I looked into blowing up that image as well and making a visor. Perhaps you could use the image and cut it into sections to paste onto the visor in this thread. Still have a bit of gap on the sides but probably still look cool.

Where did you go to get it printed?

(Tonge in cheek) I'd just buy one of the foil types about once a year from the Everything's a Dollar store, and kind of cut/fold to shape and tape the edges (who said ALL DeLorean parts have to be expensive?) Color me cheap, I guess.
