On the outside surface is the word Coverking", that is probably the vendor, unacceptable; I'd be happy to advertise for this company if they pay me a monthly fee.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Thanks Maurice I may have to just buy a new one if a used one does not pop up soon. I know I had an old BMW sun shade in my garage for years and figured someone has an old 996 shade gathering dust.
No problem, you can cut them to fit also. Just go to the local auto parts store, ask them if you can try a few out to see what fits. They will not care. I spent alot on a BMW sunshade and the cheap ones actually had more reflective material on them. Sunshade is just a sunshade.
I bought this one from Pelican labeled as "Custom-Fit Sun Shield - 996 ":
http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/...elds_start.htm
, $33.95
Here is my review I posted on Pelican.
Custom? Huh? It doesn't fit.
This sunshield is defined as custom fit for a 996. Nope. It is way too wide, it overlaps each A-pillar by about 4 inches, and thus does not lay flat against the windshield. Vertically it goes from the base of the windshield to the middle of the visor - no fit, did somebody measure this thing for a 996? And worse it is a "roll up" sunshield, which retains its rolled pattern when put in place and so has gaps when put in place. On the outside surface is the word Coverking", that is probably the vendor, unacceptable; I'd be happy to advertise for this company if they pay me a monthly fee.
Surprised about this one, Pelican obviously didn't check it out before offering it to customers. I should have known better, there is nothing in the "Product Details" field on the Pelican web site, and no picture.
Better to get an $8.00 fan-fold sunshield from your local auto part store. Received yesterday, returning today. What a hassle.
Thanks for the affirmation, I saw that one also and foolishly tried to save $30.00. Should I also try to get rubber floor mats from a '67 Beetle for my 996? Hey, its a related car, should fit fine.
I own the official Porsche sunshield he posted, and I agree that it's worth the extra money. Perfect fit, and it has a pretty thick insulation layer that seems to help keep the temps down in the car down here on the Gulf Coast.
BUT.....The Porsche OEM unit is actually a branded CoverCraft part.
If you can live without the Porsche logo, and if you want to try some other colors, find somebody selling the "UVS100" sunshade made by these guys:
https://www.covercraft.com/us/en/pro...FVM7gQodIr4F3Q
You can usually find them for much less than the Porsche branded one and it's the EXACT same unit.
Good Luck.
