Default Exterior windshield sun shade/blocker

As the title says, looking for one that would attach externally to block the sun and keep temps down in the cab (I have a refer in cab). Lots of products on Amazon, but wondered if anyone has used one that works well for the Ranger.

Seems like it would make it difficult to see where you are going...

It is better to use infernal devices. As you know, the hottest element in the car interior in the heat is the front panel. It heats the air to an unbearable temperature. To partially eliminate this point, a rather interesting sliding curtain will help, which will allow you to close about 90% of the windshield. It is mounted on suction cups, has a slide for more accurate positioning. You can explore https://snapshades.com.au/ to get a quality product. Good luck to you!
