Is it just me or does the supposedly correct e46 sunshade seem too short? Does anybody else have this?

We've had a couple of those. They are too short. Barely reaches the sun visor.

I don't have that one, but I've heard that too. I've got a non BMW one that fits well. I'll check what the brand is and get back to you.

I think it all depends on the bodystyle (sedan, coupe, or vert) and if the car has the rain sensor.

I bought one from someone here. It didn't work. I passed it on to HokieZHP...when he picked up rims.

It was that exact one.

the one I had for my old car from Acura was cut perfect and was higher reflectivity so the car stayed a lot cooler... this one sucks, but I guess I've got my moneys worth out of it at this point

Covercraft I bet. That's the brand I've seen that fits well. They even have it the shades per body style and with or without rain sensor. Bavauto's rollup shade works pretty well from what I've seen.

I got mine from Covercraft and it fits pretty well, IMO - not too short.

Just went out and snapped a quick pic of mine. It's from Brookstone. It's not nearly as clean a look as the Covercraft but the coverage is there.

I have the same problem.

It's too short.

For the record, I'm talking about the sunshade. :shift

Droid X. Tapatalk. Use it.

Mine came from Pelican Parts and fits nice. It is advertised as a custom cut for $30 or so and I am happy. I can take some pics later if anyone is interested.

I use two "discs" that fold up about 8" in diameter in a few seconds and I stick it under my seat. They fit well and work for me.
