Default fold up sun shade for an xf?

Just traded our 04 S-type for a 2011 XF. Pretty nice car!

Anyhow, any suggestions on a sun shade that folds up rather than rolls up?

There are foam panel models with reflective mylar coating which work well.

I use one. They look fairly dorky but they cut down on the "greenhouse" effect heating from the windshield at least. One objection is they reflect an image of the sun very well so can be a nuisance to others in some situations.

The "large" size is needed for the XF deep windshield.

So, if I want a fold up, I guess it has to be a generic?

As far as I know Jag doesn't make one, It isn't that hot in England.

Thats why the windows aren't tinted as standard either.
