I bought a Covercraft sun shade before I had my truck. They do custom shades but not yet for Rivian. So I guessed and picked on for a 4Runner. Haha. It looks like a postage stamp and covers about 2/3 of the Rivian windshield. So while I prepare to return this one, has anybody guessed more accurately than me? F150 maybe? Or another brand that fits pretty well?

I will wait for them to make a custom cover for the Rivian windshield. In the meantime, I am using the factory cover from my Honda Ridgeline and it seems to fit reasonably well.

I bought a sun shade from here that fits pretty well: heatshieldstore.com

Second heatshield. Had mine for about a week and was curious at first how it'd fit since it just slips into place without suction cups or anything. But it's stayed in place and kept the temps in the truck significantly lower.

I am using a previous Range Rover Velar sunshade that fits about 95% of the windshield.

I also recommend the HeatShield screen. I have the windshield and roof panel, both fit well.
Ordered a windshield cover. Thanks to all who recommended!

Has anyone had success with driving on bumpy roads with the sunroof HeatShield in place?

I've used Heatshield in cars in the past. Works well but I don't like the roll up design as much as I like the fold up design of the Covercraft. That's just a personal preference. But until Covercraft offers a Rivian fitment, Heatshield is a good option.

This makes sense. Wonder if a gamble on a Covercraft for Range Rover would pay off…

I drove with mine installed for 2 weeks and it never came down. I prefer to leave it installed, especially with the August temperatures here in NC.. but my wife made me take it down for "obvious cosmetic reasons" :)

Heatshield works really well. For me, though, the small gray suction cups were inadequate. When I reached out to them, they sent me updated, larger, and clear suction cups that didn't fail like the first ones.

Just ordered one. (Returning the 4Runner one.) Will update the thread if it works!

+1 for heatshieldstore.com - it's a perfect fit in the R1T. just need to put the visors down to hold it in place.
