Dealer wanted something like $40, so I figure some other companies must be making them a little cheaper (without that pricey Audi logo!).

Default I went through 6 diff "Pep Boys" brands before I finally gave up & ordered the oem one online...

It hurts to think of spending almost $50 on a sunshade when you are used to less than $20, but that's just the way things go. It definitely works better than the store bought ones though.

I bought a aftermarket brand for my B5 for $30, but someone stole it, and I can't remember where.

Default The fold up coil sunshade you can get from CostCo is great!

It comes in a two pack for like 10 bucks. It's a flexi-coil design and the "large" size fits nice and snug in the window. I use it everyday for work and it works great.

The costco one fit like crap on my B5, but maybe I'll try it on my B6.

Default I bought a pretty good one at WalMart for $10 made by "Axius"

It's not as flimsy as other ones that I saw there. I admit it's not a perfect fit, but seems to work for me.
