It’s a covercraft not sure which model but it was spendy but well worth it. It’s complete coverage but not a PTA . You just unfold it push it all the way down to the bottom of the windshield and lift up fold your visors down and your golden.

I'm pretty sure the dealer ones are also made by covercraft. You're right, they're spendy but I've had them for every single one of our vehicles since it does a nice job of keeping the cabin cool out here in Southern California.

I have the dealer one for the ITS and I definitely need to get down in the corners for it to clear the top though. Not to mention having to manuever it over the display.

edit: just noticed your username and you're from socal too!

Yes maybe so but not sure as this is only my second one. The first one I had in my 22 M240i and it was love at first sight and told myself I’d never own anything else. It really is a perfect fit there is no finagling around just unfold it and slide it all the way down and it fits like a glove. I know they are hand made so it could vary but both of mine were perfect.
Cool man yes so cal here to only a couple miles from the coast 👍🏻 I heard there is a cars and coffee in Irvine first Sunday of every month. At least there was a few months ago and I’m trying to get the details. But it would be awesome to meet up there sometime 👍🏻👊🏻

This thread reminded me of these pics I have of cars parked next to my old car where I used to work. People suck 😭

Yeah, seeing this def irks me. This happens at my job at least once a month.
The worst part is that, just like the cars pictured, they're parked in the wrong direction so It's driver door to driver door. Odds of a ding just increased two fold

Good point! One of the problems is that most drivers either don't know how to reverse into a parking spot or are too lazy to do it. When I got my learners permit I did the Young Drivers of Canada course and they drilled into all of us that you should always reverse into a parking spot when feasible. Approaching the spot to park you see all hazards around you and if you have the time and space to reverse. So much harder to do this reversing out of a space. Which brings us to the best part of reversing in - pulling out is a breeze and so much safer.

Should try it with 48 foot trailer and a sleeper . When I took my Class A license test one of the back up requirements was backing between cones at a 45 degree angle ;) from 50 feet away or so.
