I am looking for a good sunshade and the Mopar one is too expensive. I saw the universal "Star Wars" shade at Walmart but it looks too big.
Any Recommendations?

I ordered a cheap one off Amazon. 2nd time I've ordered a strange brand sunshade off Amazon and have been happy. The fit it tight and it does what I want it to, keep sun out and protects the interior.

I've tried several different windshield sun shades over the years for my cars, including Weathertech, Covercraft, HeatShield and a few different OEM ones. The best sunshade, without any doubt, is the Intro-Tech Ultimate Reflector. The fit is excellent, it doesn't cause any hazy residue to form on the glass, it has a nice soft felt backing that doesn't mark up the dash, it comes with a storage pouch, and it folds up to a very compact size. I like the silver, but they make gold as well.

The reflective silver ones are:

The mopar one is the best I’ve owned on a vehicle to date. Super old picture during my bumper install last year. I’m laughing at how the JT looked then compared to now. Still love the sunshade though. :)

I picked up one from the local flea market cheap store for less than $5.00. A pair of scissors trimmed it to fit my previous JL, and it still works in my Gladiator. I went back and purchased a back up for when this one wears out.

Gave this one a shot and, well, you get what you pay for. Super thin and flimsy and takes decent effort to get it in place. My experience has not been great. I really wanted it to work because of how small it folds down but it just doesn't work for me. YMMV.

Only had it a week and I'm already looking at getting something better. I think the Mopar one is in my future.
