Parking shade

Next, for making it cooler in the car, is to add window tinting.

I bought the largest one they sold at Wal-Mart. It is still not tall enough. Rather than flipping the visors down, I have to take the visors out of their clips to keep the sunshade from falling down. For such a little car, the Yaris windshield is rather large.

I am thinking about biting the bullet and buying a custom fit one.
