| Criterion | Autoamerics 1-Piece Truck Windshield Sun Shade, USA Flag (Large 64 x 33.5 in) | Magnelex Windshield Sunshade (Large) with Steering Wheel Shade |
|---|---|---|
| Scores | ||
| Overall | 3.7/5 | 3.3/5 |
| Spec strength | 3.5 Reflective polyester (weave count not published) with a mirror cut-out; EcoNour and Magnelex state 240T and Autovir 280T. | 3.5 Same 240T fabric as EcoNour, but it's the only shade here that bundles a steering-wheel cover. |
| Build quality | 3.5 No fabric weight or frame detail published, but it is the only universal here with both a warranty and a size-exchange promise. | 3.5 240T reflective polyester with a bag; no layer count, frame, or warranty detail published. |
| Fit & compatibility | 4.0 Five single-piece sizes plus 2-piece sets and a documented size exchange; still universal, so expect gaps on odd windshields. | 3.5 Three sizes referenced to a size chart; fewer than EcoNour's five, more than Autovir's one. |
| Warranty & support | 4.0 1-year warranty on the brand site, matching EcoNour and ahead of Autovir, KUST, and Magnelex, which publish none. | 2.0 Magnelex lists a warranty registration for its snow covers but nothing for sunshades; EcoNour and Autoamerics publish 1 year. |
| Value | 3.5 Mid-priced; you pay a bit for the print and the dash pad. Autoamerics.com was unreachable on the retrieval date, so no list price is recorded. | 4.0 Two shades for roughly one universal-shade price; the exact list price isn't published on magnelex.com. |
