Question Where can I get a sunscreen?

That will actually fit that huge window?
I purchased one from a local store that said it fits the Honda Fit..among other cars. Far from it.

* I meant sun shade or whatever you wish to call it.

Nightscreams,

CHH is a good site. I would recommend them.

However, here is a good thread on a variety of available sunshades for the Fit, with various testimonials.

I got this one from via Amazon, one that's often recommended in that other thread on sun shades (and a couple of other threads):

Sunshade for HONDA FIT 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Heatshield Brand Windshield Custom-fit Sunshade : Amazon.com : Automotive Sunshade for HONDA FIT 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Heatshield Brand Windshield Custom-fit Sunshade : Amazon.com : Automotive

It covers nicely (with little "earflaps" that more or less cover the little triangle windows), and seems pretty well made. It is a bit unwieldy to unfurl and roll up, and not particularly compact when rolled, but to an extent that's unavoidable given the size and shape of the Fit's windshield.

By far the best overall sunshade value is this:
Auto Expressions Basix Assorted Super Jumbo Magic Shade Sunshade | Product Details | Pep Boys

Completely covers the Fit windshield.
Holds in place securely with the visors turned down
Easy to fold up and compact to store.
Has a silver reflective side for maximum protection.
Only ~$12 at Walmart.

Very important is to buy only the "Super Jumbo" size. Then you will be using it opposite normal orientation with the longest side going top to bottom on the Fit windshield.

And also don't be swayed by the advice of the uncoordinated and dexterity challenged saying it is too hard to fold up. Literally takes me only 2 seconds each and every time. Very simple technique to learn once and then repeat. I can even install and remove it with a passenger seated as long as they sit back in their seat.
