Sooo just catching up on this thread. Honestly, I've had a really frustrating time finding the perfect fit for the Telly's massive glass. I tried a few generic ones and they were basically useless around that huge sensor cluster behind the mirror.

You might find this useful—check out the WeatherTech Custom Fit SunShade for Kia Telluride. It's a solid roll-up option, but tbh, it feels a bit like handling a giant yoga mat when you have passengers.

Another one to look at is the HeatShield Custom Fit Sunshade for Kia Telluride. It’s technically great at blocking heat but it’s *really* stiff.

WeatherTech Custom Fit SunShade vs HeatShield Custom Fit Sunshade:
- WeatherTech: Better edge-to-edge coverage but can be awkward to roll up quickly.
- HeatShield: Highkey better at actual temp reduction, but it's kinda bulky to store.

Personally, I'm still slightly disappointed that none of the roll-ups are as easy to stow as a folding one, but for that huge windshield, you gotta prioritize the fit imo. Good luck!! 👍

Exactly what I was thinking

So basically the consensus is that generic shades are a total nightmare for the Telluride's massive windshield and that tricky sensor cluster. Both Covercraft UVS100 Custom Sunscreen and the WeatherTech Custom Windshield SunShade have been mentioned as solid go-to's, but honestly, I've been thinking about your question from a safety and long-term durability angle.

I actually went through a bit of a saga with this myself! I bought a cheap-ish one first and it literally started flaking silver bits all over my dash after one summer... *talk about a mess*. Plus, it didn't stay put, which actually worried me because if those heavy-duty shades fall while you're driving (if you forget to stow them) or if they're too flimsy to stay up, they can actually damage the trim around the mirror.

Since safety is highkey a priority, you should check out the AutoTech Zone Custom Fit Windshield Sunshade. It's a bit more flexible than the rigid boards, which makes it easier to tuck behind that huge safety sensor housing without feeling like you're gonna snap something. I mean, you definitely don't wanna mess with the calibration on those Lane Keeping Assist sensors!

Lesson learned: spend the extra $20 for a high-quality fit. It keeps the cabin temp way lower, which saves your leather and prevents your hands from getting scorched on the steering wheel. Plus, it rolls up tight, so it's not taking up the whole backseat! Good luck dude!

> I’m particularly interested in how they fit around the large rearview mirror housing and the safety sensor cluster

Honestly, I’ve tried a few and most were a letdown. For your situation, I'd suggest avoiding the cheaper ones cuz they sag like crazy. I’ve used the Covercraft Custom UVS100 Sunscreen for three years now and it’s basically the gold standard. It’s a stiff folding board, so it fits around that massive sensor cluster perfectly without any wedging. Unfortunately, it's kinda bulky to store when you have passengers, so if space is ur main concern, maybe look at the WeatherTech Custom Windshield SunShade. It rolls up, tho it’s not as rigid. Personally, I’d stick with the Covercraft for that edge-to-edge protection. gl!

Any updates on this?
