Front window sun shade strip

The installer installed a 7 inch deep sun shade on the front wind shield. I guess it is good to block off the sun glare, but I am not used to it when I am driving. It kind of blocking my view in front of me. The legal is 5 inches. The installer said 5” is no good.

What is the normal depth of the sun shade installed on the Gen 3 Taco? Mine only leaves about half an inch left from the Go Pro mount.

 

You mind telling me the depth of yours. Thx

 

I kind of wished mine was a bit bigger…

lol

 

Sunshades for the win

 

I think mine is average. It’s pretty much a bad picture lol

 

Liking, on account of the Misfits hat.

 

I measured it today. It is 7”. As I said, it is good to block the sun glare in the summer except my driving view is kind of interfered between the tint and the clear glass. I guess I will get used to it in times.

 

Either you're 7ft tall or you're constantly looking for low flying aircraft.

Seriously though you'll soon get used to it and you'll definitely appreciate that it's there!

Love my tint strip, next time though I'm going 5%

 

Not quite. I have a Costco furry sheep skin that sits perfectly on the seat and the back. It elevated my driving vision. I’ll get used to it.

 

I believe the AS-1 line on most windshields is 5 inches down from the top. Thats the max part of the windshield that can be tinted “legally” .

My 2nd gen Tacoma had a blue factory tint strip in that whole area, which my 3rd gen doesn’t have. If you think 5” would be less annoying then Id get yours redone.

 

Another option would be to remove the stripe and use one these sunshades in the link below to protect the entire dash and steering wheel. The fold away nice and small and fitment is excellent.
