    Where can I get a kit of window sun shades/shields for a 2012 Freightliner Cascadia? All front windows, and all 4 sleeper windows.

    Couldn't find a thread on this, specifically. I didn't want to have to resort to making my own or buying generic windshield shades from Iowa80 or the like. If I have to make my own, though, where would you suggest I purchase the reflective material in bulk?

    Went to heatshieldstore.com but their site is down, and as I recall, their products are #### expensive.

    Thanks for any help or suggestions in advance!

    TA/Petro sells a cloth curtain for the front of a tractor - great for insulation. There are also reflective sun-shades as well.

    I already have the grey OEM curtains and snap curtains for the cab and sleeper, which work fine for Winter, but I need reflective shades for all the windows for Summer to reflect the heat, not absorb it like the curtains do. Custom sizes for the Cascadia is important as I used a general large size bought at a truck stop for my previous Pete 387 which left huge open gaps and defeated the purpose of privacy, too.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I'm also aware of this product on amazon.com, but no specific photo of a Cascadia, so I don't know if it really is custom or not...

    Spend the money on the Heat Shields. They are worth every penny.
