Default F-Type Sun Shade recommendations

Hey gang, what sun shade do you use for your F-Type. I thought about the Jaguar accordion style, but where the heck do you store it? Any recommendations? My car is my daily driver to work and parked outside all afternoon until they finish our parking garage in a few months.

I purchased ridiculously priced OEM shade, because it fits windshield well and it is high quality. I store it in the trunk.

Car Cover ! My F-R with panoramic window was just recently tinted @ 20%. The car is so tight, that when I put it in the driveway, it was roasting in Florida. Fortunately, I have a garage.
Bought a cover from Carid for $40. bucks , but realized it wasn't the inside dust cover I wanted which is $400. bucks. Still in the box, you can have it for half of what I paid. PM me if your interested.
It should help.

Mine rolls up. It also fits quite well, as it is specific to the F-Type. You can see it here:

I stash it in the passenger footwell, unless I have a passenger. Then it goes in the back.

Would you care to comment on the value for money?

Been using these basic ones:

works great!
very thin & compact
use the smaller size, not the jumbo sized
stores behind or wedged between passenger side seat bolster & middle arm rest

Without looking at how much I paid, I'll say that the first time I bought one of that brand it was at the Volvo parts department. The C30 has a tall windshield and the generic one I'd had from another car sagged so much it wouldn't stay put. This is stiffer because it has actual insulation in it. Because of that, they don't roll up as small as they might otherwise, but there's attached velcro to keep it rolled. They're also made to fit each individual model. I liked it enough that I bought one when I got the F-Type, and then bought another to fit the Miata.

OK, hang on while I check my records ...

I paid $53.84 total, shipped and with taxes. Yeah. I'd do it again without hesitation. The Miata one was $58,80, so I expect I had a coupon for the first. I get email coupons from time to time. Last was for 10% (Father's Day) and now expired. A quick google search shows autoweek has a 10% code. Search for "heat shield promo code".

Find best price on oem, it fits perfect. Folded fits in footwell to edge of seat to hold it.

Picture of OEM shade. I always put it up when parked at work, as dark interior could get hot.
