For your situation, I'd definitely go with the Subaru OEM Sunshade SOA3991322. I've been using it for a while now and honestly, the fitment around the EyeSight cameras is perfect because it's specifically engineered to clear teh sensors without any light leakage. It's a triple-layer design that really keeps the heat down, though it is a bit bulky to stow since it's a folding board style rather than a roll-up. If you want something a bit easier to handle, the Covercraft UVS100 Custom Sunscreen is a fantastic alternative with a similar rigid build. Hope this helps!

Hmm, I've had a different experience when it comes to the Subaru branded gear. Respectfully, I'd consider another option because, in my experience, the official shades can be a bit of a nightmare to store in a compact car like the Crosstrek. Don't get me wrong, the fit is decent, but they're basically like trying to fold a giant piece of sheet metal!

Over the years, I've tried many different brands, and I actually think the Covercraft UVS100 Custom Sunscreen is the superior choice for the 2024 Crosstrek. It's technically designed with a much deeper cutout for the EyeSight housing than the OEM one, which is crucial because you really don't want anything rubbing against those expensive sensors. Plus, it uses a high-density foam core that provides better thermal insulation than the thinner triple-layer stuff.

If you want something even more durable that feels like it’ll last the life of the car, check out the WeatherTech Custom Fit SunShade. It’s dual-purpose, so it has a black side for winter to help defrost the windshield. Honestly, the OEM one just feels a bit too bulky for the Crosstrek's interior layout... it always ends up hitting my passenger in the knees when I'm trying to put it away! FWIW, the Covercraft UVS100 Custom Sunscreen folds up into a much tighter accordion shape that slides right under the seat. Hope this helps!

Respectfully, I'd consider another option before you drop big money on those high-end brands. While the OEM and Covercraft UVS100 Custom Sunscreen are definitely high quality, they are honestly a huge pain to deal with in the Crosstrek's smaller cabin. They're stiff, heavy, and because they don't roll up, you're constantly fighting them to find a spot in the back seat.

I'd actually suggest a different approach—the EcoNour Car Windshield Sun Shade in the 64x35 inch size or a similar "two-circle" collapsible style. I know, I know, it sounds cheap, but hear me out! I've had issues with the expensive hard-fold ones hitting the EyeSight housing during installation, which is exactly what you want to avoid. The flexible material on these pop-up shades lets you tuck the fabric *behind* the EyeSight cameras without putting any pressure on the sensors.

Plus, from a cost perspective, you're looking at like $15-20 compared to $70+ for the WeatherTech Custom Fit Sunshade. For the price of one OEM shade, you could buy four of these! Just make sure you get the "Large" size to ensure full coverage. It might not look as "pro" as the custom-fit boards, but it folds down to the size of a dinner plate and slides right under the seat. Tbh, unless you're living in Death Valley, the value for money here is just way better for a daily driver. Hope this helps you save a few bucks! 🚗☀️

Regarding what #2 said about "Hmm, I've had a different experience when it..."

• I totally agree on the storage issue. Those rigid ones are way too stiff for the 2024 Crosstrek cabin. In my experience, you want something with a bit more give so you dont smack your passengers in the head every time you try to set it up. Over the years, I've tried many and settled on these for reliability:
• HeatShield The Original Custom Sunshade is probably the best bang for your buck. It is a roll-up style which makes it much easier to maneuver around the EyeSight cameras compared to the rigid boards. It fits like a glove and doesnt leave those annoying gaps.
• If you are really serious about heat, check out the WeatherTech Custom Fit SunShade. It is a bit pricier but the material is super thick. It basically turns the interior into a cave. One tip tho... if you go with the HeatShield, just use the velcro strap to keep it tight when stored. If you leave it loose it gets messy. But for keeping the dash from cracking? These are top tier.
