Hi Everyone,
During our recent trip out to New England, we stayed a number of nights at Walmarts. We always try to show our appreciation by buying something. At a Walmart in Gorham, NH, the store had an end-of-season clearance on their selection of automotive pop-open sun shades. At only $2 per set, I bought the Super Jumbo plain silver/black ones that cover the E350/E450 wind shield perfectly. I gambled and also bought the "Universal" size which happens to work fairly well on the van door windows. I was impressed enough to go back inside the store and buy 2 more sets of each size. I am giving a set of each size as a Christmas present to my brother for his E350 Starflyte. The other set is a backup for myself.
Yesterday we were home at our local Walmart near Chicago and I see they too are clearing the same pop-open sun shades for $2 per set.
These cheap pop-open sun shades are nice for quick privacy that also does a decent job at blocking the heat of the sun. They store nicely together in either of our driver & passenger backrest pockets. We have been using the Super Jumbo set for our PC wind shield for many years now but it is time to retire them.
I know there are better products available, but for $4 and easy storage, and my experience with them, I thought it was worth sharing this with you all.

These are the ones for $2 per set on clearance at Walmart. Pictured are the Super Jumbo size for the windshield. On the back of the package, it specifically states that it fits the E-series van. The ones for the van doors is the smaller size called Universal. Walmart seems to sell just the two sizes so you can't get it wrong.
