Seems a lot of the shades look identical. Are we dealing with one MFG and vendors private labeling. The BestEvmod looks good and has good reviews but doesn't look like they have the rear shade available. Just check again and item is not in stock.

Add me to the list. Returned two sets purchased on Amazon for the same issue.

I added the darkest and best tint available and it's still a cooker. Doesn't help that the AC is underpowered. I am not looking forward to this summer. Rivian really needs to make a good and proper sunshade.
Damn..hate to hear that. Was thinking about doing the same. Did you do the windshield too?

I have the one from EVsportline. Came with clips and a tool to install it. I have been using it without the clips and it works great. Stayed in place all of last summer.

I've only had my R1S for a week and a shade is definitely needed since I park outside in FL (roof measured 165 deg. F one afternoon). Did you use the suction cup and magnet to keep the sag to a minimum?

For my R1T, I have the Abstract Ocean one, and it stays put just fine, even with the windows open. It definitely made a nice difference on a mid-summer road trip through the desert last summer!

Mine was an early model that came with no suction cup. Stays in place just fine.

The Rivian Roof Sunshade , need to be optimized , and can be available in the near future .
