    Anyone have Sunshade for 2016 Prius v. (lowercase v for the Prius v wagon) I cannot find one that fits. Some internet sites have them advertised for $40-$50, but that is too much.

    Like Wil said, try the PriusChat Shop. $32.95, and well worth the money. I've tried many over the years, and the HeatShield seems to be the best. (I got one for the back window, too.)

    You can also look at the HeatShield website. They have Silver and Gold shields. You order directly from their website: heatshieldstore.com
    $39.95

    Yes, about $40 in Prius Chat shop.

    The one they sell fills the front window perfectly, has quality and it works very well.

    It appears made for the car and not generic.
    So that's your choice.

    Only issue is it is time consuming (yeah one minute of labor vs fifteen seconds) to re-roll the shield when removing from the window/ dash.

    Anyone know the dimensions of the heat shield for Prius v when rolled up? The Priuschat link doesn’t say.
    Thanks
