Default 2011 Dodge Caravan SunShade?

I asked my dealer (parts department) about a 2011 Dodge Caravan Sun Shade he said they don't carry them.

I just found out they aren't available for the 2011 Grand Caravan at the current time.

So, anyone here have a shade that fits the 2011 Grand Caravan and if so - where did you purchase it from? Yes, I tried running up to WallyMart but while the wrapper said it was compatible - it didn't actually cover the entire windshield.

Thanks!

I found a site that has a sunshade for the van. I'll let ya know if it is worth the money and fits properly.

I bought a "Grand" size windshield sun shade too, but it doesn't fit perfect. Too wide, still stays folded, and too short - just barely stays up with the support from the rear-view mirror.
The black dash is great for no glare, but it sure absorbs the heat! My van, even though I live in a cooler west coast climate, is a 'hot' van - that's my conclusion. So I am looking for ways to keep the van cooler. Windshield sun screen is one, and next will be tinting on the windows. Can't find anyone that will put in an opening sunroof, and offer a guarantee that it won't leak. Don't have the back slider doors that the windows open, just the 2 back hinge vent/windows...
I looked on the internet for a rollup blind, wouldn't that be great to pull a string and a window blind would cover (most) of the windshield. Storage would be rolled up, probably on the front side of the dash. Where are the inventors when we need one?

Thanks for the reply pacific. I searched (and sent messages) to every company selling SunShades. All of them (at least the one's that replied) said they didn't have one. I finally found one on EBay and keeping my finger's crossed that it actually fits. This is the puppy: Auto Sunshade Dodge Caravan 2008-2011

I'll let ya know how it goes...
