Few things are more uncomfortable than getting into your car after it has been sitting in the sun all day. It’s even worse by the time you crank up the A/C, when the car momentarily turns into a portable sauna, with hot air blowing in and making every passenger sweaty.

A great way to keep your car cool is to use a sunshade. Not only does it help keep the inside of the car from getting too hot, but it also helps prevent the interior components from shriveling due to prolonged sun exposure. The Retractable Windshield Shade is a solid choice, and for a limited time, you can get it on sale for over 50 percent off.

We already sounded off the wonders of this windshield shade before, but this time around, a 28-inch version is also available for folks who drive mid-sized vehicles and SUVs. Unlike most car sunshades, this one is designed to be fully retractable, allowing you to finally do away with folding and stuffing when it’s time to hit the gas. It has three suction cups that install on either side of the windshield, so all you have to do is stretch it across and secure it in place when you need to use it, and vice versa.

Crafted out of high-density polyester sunshade fabric and aluminum alloy, this shade is supposedly durable enough to last years. The manufacturer also claims it can block up to 99 percent of harmful UV rays and up to 85 percent of the sun’s total solar energy for maximum protection.

No one likes an oven-like car. Keep your vehicle cool and prevent damage and aging to the interior with the Retractable Windshield Shade. If you have a compact car, get your hands on the 26-inch Retractable Windshield Shade for $29.99 (reg. $80). If you drive an SUV, get the 28-inch for $32.99 (reg. $80).
