This is the Covercraft Sun Shade, cut to fit for the G37 Sedan, model UVS100.

This is a Sun Shade thread.



I never gave shades a lot of consideration, except every once in a while I'd think about finding a decent one, then just as quickly forget about it. Recently, there was a thread about a collapsible sun shade, and it inspired me to look into this again, and that led me to Covercraft. Sale went to AutoBarn.com, who drop-shipped it somewhere around $60 shipped. Because it was cut to fit, it took about 2 to 3 weeks from purchase to delivery.

That USV100 fabric label on the bottom left is stitched right in, but you can get under the fold and cut that off without cutting the stitching. The inside is a felt material, very soft on your dash.



I also ordered the bag, which is more of a cover than a carrying bag, with a very snug fit. Not so snug as to be a PITA, but still.



The outside is a reflective gold, but it’s a soft contrast, which I’m really happy about. I wanted gold, not Mike Tyson kind of gold.

Excuse the art work on the garage... I have two little girls who like to paint.



So far, it's a keeper.

Thanks for review Rochester.

I have been intending to buy this for a few days now. After you mentioned that it took 2 to 3 weeks from purchase to delivery, I am going to order this tonight ( otherwise by the time I receive this summer would be over).

I am going to order from here:

Thanks for sharing the garage art, looks like a lot of fun has been had in there
I knew you'd be happy w/ those covers, they look nice and can't get a better fit.
I'll let you know about that velcro idea.

thanks for the post. It really looks quality and fit is nice. I'm gonna have to order one to combat these FL summers.

Thanks John for sharing the pics...looks real nice
The supplied "condom" will help protect it while it isn't being used.

Every new car I get I order one of these. Just got my 13 G37xs sport coupe and had one ready for it. Like a dork I sold the one with my sedan, thinking I'd not be getting another Infiniti but...

I don't think that's going to work, Newt. You have to either remove the access panel, or be OK with having it open all the time. It looks awkward open all the time, plus the shade won't sit flat in its bag on the access panel.

However (!), if you put the shade in its bag, and you pull down the armrest, the shade will sit perfectly on the armrest, snugly fit into the opening, with the access panel up not down.



And if you're worried about how secure this is while your chucking the car around (because racecar), I did a little test this afternoon. At one of our LOWES stores, the exit from the parking lot to the main road is a tight little "S" turn. If you come around the first bend hard enough to see there are no on-coming cars, you can play with the throttle and totally drift around the corner. Again, because racecar, LOL.

Anyway, and purely in the interest of scientific discovery, the shade didn't budge.

Just bought one this evening from this same vendor. About $48 all-in (free shipping). Got the Blue Metallic for my Blue Slate/Stone leather 37xS. Stowing it will be a challenge versus the roll-ups (almost went with the WeatherTech roll-up model 2011 Infiniti G | WeatherTech TechShade custom fit sun shade sun visor cars, trucks, SUV, CUV, minivan | WeatherTech.com). We'll see. The gold one looks great with the white car. Nicely done.

That's actually $53.94, if you include the bag. So I went back to my AutoBarn emails, and I was mistaken. It was $53.90 shipped. So I saved 4-cents, but that's only because I googled for a promo code. Just think of all the things I can do with that 4-cents. Seed money for a pair of RHFCs, perhaps.

Thanks! Welcome to the G Forum.

Rochester, you always manage to make me laugh with the way you word your stories-- "purely in the interest of scientific discovery." The dry humor is duly appreciated.

I like the custom fit concept and this would certainly help keep my black interior cool. I'd just have to take my V1 off every time I wanted to use it.

Just beware, these bad boys get hotter than hell, almost need gloves to handle them when removing in the afternoon. At least over here in the desert

Yeah, thats the problem. And I cant imagine rolling without the V1. Because racecar.
