Window shade?

I buy sheets of inexpensive black posterboard at Walmart and cut a slice about 6 inches wide to block the sun on the portion of the drivers window that my visor doesn't cover. I wedge it in when the sun is shining on my face. Slides out EZ when I roll through the scales.

Posterboard is also good for a sleeper berth window cover if I ever get into a truck without curtains.

 

My pickup came with tint. I hate it. It's not dark but dark enough to be harder to see at night.

There's been a couple times I almost ran in to someone at the plant cuz you don't see them till they get in to your headlines.

Of course. Why they keep walking in to the path of a rolling vehicle is beyond me.

 

I bought ceramic tint all the way around including front windshield of my pickup and it’s a game changer. The front windshield is 95%. You cannot tell it’s tinted at all. But in direct sunlight you feel zero heat. I plan to do it to my work truck soon.

I always get the sun on my arm and eyes so I usually just take a piece of paper and jam it in the top seal of the windshield to hold it.

 

If he’d driven a 359 both sides would match.

 

No electric signal interference
You may know if you have driven a metallic-tinted car before. The metallic tints disadvantage is it interrupt your radio and cell phone signals. Metallic tint made with tiny particles of metal which cases they block the signals.

When it comes to ceramic tint, it doesn’t act like this. Be free about these problems. You can play your car radio and make cell phone calls without any problems that cause tint.

 

In that case, metallic tint should be mandatory on four-wheelers. The only exception will be for CDL drivers and their spouses.

 

I don't have a problem with people putting up see-through sunshades, but those who drive with the curtain pulled forward should be ticketed.

Also, reading this thread gives me one more reason to be thankful that I drive at night.

 

Can you recommend a truck driver, driver side window shade?
My face and arm can't take any more of this.

I don't want to get ticketed though.
What do I buy?

 

I use a spring loaded roll-up shade. I bought it at Walmart, but any auto parts store should have it. I roll it up when crossing the scales. Works fine. Wish I'd known about it years earlier, because the sun caused eye problems in my left eye, which was corrected with surgery.
Get the one with hooks on the top, like in the photo, not the suction cups.
