I had that on my van before. It does obstruct your vision.... I took it out because of it. It makes your pillar even larger... On top of that i added the in channel deflectors... which it even made the pillar larger! But to answer your question, those type of shades do obstruct your vision....

 

Yep, felix, that $50 one (your first link) is the one made by Covercraft. I just bought it from them direct. I agree, it IS still really awkward when folded. This is all due to the really tall Civic windshield. I slide it over the arm-rest and into the footwell in front of my empty rear seats. If someone were to be in the rear seats, I'd put it in the trunk. But it fits nearly perfectly, and really helps with the heat. It is much better at repelling the heat than a generic $10 Wal-mart one that I tried. Heat IS the enemy here in TX

 

Hi there, I ordered a sunshade designed specifically for the HCH II and received it the other day - it's fantastic - and only $25.

It is not accordion - it fits flush to the window.

Using the sunshades to keep it in place - it's perfect - and easy to maneuver, rolls up without a problem + has a velcro strap to wrap around to make secure - fits nicely on floor in back.

You can get it here:

cheers!

ps - they have excellent customer service / fast shipping and I have no association with them except I just made my first purchase last week.

 

I've seen that one, too, sketcher.
Some Honda dealers sell one that looks identical, for $30-$40. I wonder if it is the same.
Glad you like it. It looks nice. I'm just partial to Covercraft, I guess, and know they make a great sunshade.
This windshield is just SO big that you want to cover ALL of it. Mine does. Looks like yours does, too.

 

I also have the covercraft one. They're not cheap, but well worth it, they make a big difference. I bought mine from www.ajusa.com, $42.01 shipped. After I got the one for my Civic we had to get two more for the other vehicles in my household... ironically the one for the Civic is by far the largest.

 

I got mine for USD3.50. It's those aluminium reflective type, works and fits great. It got japaneses words on it but made in China.

 

I got mine online, it's called a Heatshield and it was about $50 with shipping.
