    Seeking sun shades for all windows (WeatherTech now only offers front window shade).

    Prefer a black side and a reflective side. Seeking good fit for privacy; I guess I could go with HeatShield, but the use of suction cups doesn't seem optimal for closing gaps. I can't do DIY because I have something like carpal tunnel.

    I did this for our Sienna Hybrid last year.

    Get a roll of reflective insulation from the home store(less than $40), enough black cotton spandex cloth ($7/walmart) to cover at least one side (I did both for a little more rigidity and privacy), and a can of spray adhesive ($5) for about $50 total. All of this is VERY easy to cut with sharp scissors but get some help if needed.

    Measure/cut it a little bit larger, glue the fabric and after drying press fit it to window. You can also crack the windows a tad, insert and roll up.

    If you're going to have the vehicle on, you'll quickly discover you'll also need to address all the other light sources INSIDE the vehicle. LOL

    Good Luck!
