Has anyone found a sunscreen for the front window yet that fits and works well? Mini doesn't make one yet for the R60. My friend working at the dealership gave me a promotional one from Burton and Mini event but it's cardboard and it gets to damn hot.

 

This is the one I recommend--fits perfectly--it is made for the R60. The MINI Countryman is listed under the BMW "make" drop down menu btw:

I have the Heatshield one as well. Fits perfectly and presses right up against the glass.

I asked they cut out a corner to allow me to keep my GPS mount on the windshield - no problem, works great. I ordered directly from the source...

I'm using the MINI shield I got for my R53. It is wide enough but a bit shallow. Still it works OK with the visors down. And I like the convenient folding design.

 

here is a front sunscreen and more window accessories for the countryman

Thanks everyone and appreciate the help. Being here in Florida at this time of year and car being all black, this is a mandatory piece needed for my ride.

 

A sun shade was the first thing I bought for my Mini. I've had a few sun shades similar to the Heat Shield (or maybe they were, I forget), but on the last one I had, the velcro strap would come unglued and leave a sticky smear on it. The foil can get really hot, too.

Now I'm a firm believer in the CoverCraft sun shades:

These are the same ones they sell at the dealer as far as I can tell. I bought one here, but there are tons of places that sell these things:

I had this problem with a Heat Shield on an earlier car, called Canvas Works, they apologized for the problem and sent out replacement straps by mail.

 

I'm surprised no one has mentioned eyeshades http://artisticreflection.com/MINI_Eyes.html. They are a sponsor here, and last I checked they make ones for the Countryman.

 

I want one. Just not sure I want to spend $150+. I may put it on my Christmas list.

 

I'm with you, I can't justify spending that kind of money. I was just surprised no one mentioned it as an option.
