I use the large silver sunshade from Halfords, it wasn't a perfect fit for my D4's or my FFRR, but it's close enough and a fraction of the price of a LR one.

thanks i did look at the halfords one,how well does it stay up and does it mark the dash top

your right about the price halfords one ive seen for £10 the l/r one was £140 so obviously lots of beer/sweet money left over from the halfords one Laughing

It doesn’t fit perfectly, it’s a little too wide, but that’s not a issue for me. It literally takes seconds to put up. It stays in place with the sun visors down and there’s also a material loop to attach it.

I’ve used it for many years and also have the medium and small versions for my other cars.

It definitely does not mark the dash top.

There maybe better fitting alternatives, but I’ve never searched for them. Thinking about it, you could cut it to fit perfectly.

Here’s a photo of the large Halfords shade in the L405. It fits the D3/4 slightly better.

Zoom in and you’ll see the securing loop over the passenger side sun visor. I don’t know if new ones have those or not, it’s must be 6 or more years old.

Aye, I would have loved an OEM but at over a ton I couldn't justify it.
I went for this one on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153167555639?it...SwydRbj4WE

It rolls-up and fits 100% exactly. Thumbs Up

Thumbs Up thanks for the replies i went with the halfords one in the end can't really grumble at a tenner fits good enough for me

the landrover one i cancelled as i ordered it from craddock who listed it as in stock and available but it wasn't same as lr direct,why these monkies list things as available when there not baffles me Rolling Eyes and if anyone thinks about buying a l/r shade there no longer available so check before you pay they have it Thumbs Up thanks again everyone

mrTed i looked at that one but didn't want one that uses suckers to attach to the screen Thumbs Up

Aye, I get you as you do sometimes end up leaving fingerprints on the window trying to peel them off. I think they are more for camping blackout as you can buy 'all of them' to block all the windows.
