Custom Fit Sun Shade for the Yaris Liftback - Toyota Yaris Forums

*tomato* · 06-23-2009, 06:00 PM

Hello, i did a search for "sun shade" to find out if anyone has already discussed the topic of finding custom fit sunshades for the Yaris LB, but came back empty handed for some reason.

Also, I just came back from Longs and Kragen and, to my surprise, their standard sun shades doesn't fit the Yaris. I then went to the dealership, and they offer something for about $40, which doesn't even have a Yaris logo on it.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I could have sworn I saw sun shades being discussed a few months ago but I can't find the thread now.

Thanks to all.

Cool! Thanks!!

Except that we never did find someone to make them, did we ? What are you all using at the moment, then?

*MAD DOG* · 06-23-2009, 07:37 PM

I'm using the sun as my sun shade.

Thomas Etimago sells the Yairs fitting ones. pm him. But i'd really love for one of us to make these.

OK, I will, thanks! I found one on e-bay earlier, but I don't know.

I agree. I just ordered one from Covercraft (UVS100) and it fits perfectly. Yes, it cost $40, but it is totally worth it, imo. Fit and finish is great.

They only show one for the Yaris sedan.

No love for the liftback, uh?

Do these covers fit both the liftback and the sedan?

I got mine from TRD Sparks made by Intro Tech Automotive.

I have a folding sun shade that is made for large windshields, that I bought a "Job Lots."

I had the fabric loop types, but they fall apart after awhile.

My Toyota dealer's parts department had custom fit sun shades for most Toyota models including the Yaris LB and Sedan.

Yes. I called them and asked and ordered right over the phone to be sure. The fit is perfect.

Now the price for the Covercraft is like 69.95 or something close to $70 online (although I did find it on sale eventually, at AutoAnything for $50

http://www.autoanything.com/driving-...A1228A0A0.aspx

but I ended up ordering the one from Info Tech for about $35. That's the one Toyota dealerships and TRD are using right now. Looks like it was the best quality/price overall. We'll see

I'll let you know how it fits the liftback and if it makes a big difference. I'm sure it'll help. My poor little Yaris was baking out in the sun, you could have fried an egg on the dashboard!

I guess I better PM Etimago and let him know I already got one. Thanks everybody for the advice. Keep the ideas coming, though, in case someone comes after me with the same question.

I hear you....the Texas sun is merciless (I park at a mass transit station each day) and we seem to be going into triple digits this week. I have come to see a sun screen as a necessary accessory, and for me fit makes a huge difference...I was not willing to scrimp. That said, I'm certain good/better deals can be had out there....I just didn't want to take any chances (I bought two since I have two Yarises).

maryinredding · 06-25-2009, 01:52 AM

I bought one at my dealership. It fits perfectly and it sure keeps the dash and steering wheel cooler. We've been having some 100 plus days this week.

*tomato* · 06-25-2009, 02:05 AM

By the way, that reminds me, does anybody else thinks the A/C in the Yaris is a bit weak when the heat gets over 90F or is it just my Yaris? Just curious.

I agree with your statement. There is a way to overcome this problem, I find that if you put in premium fuel the AC works better on hot days.
