Has anyone found a Sun Cover for the Navigation Screen?. At certain angles the Sun fades the screen out almost completely.

I plan to make my own and here is a suggestion that I will try:
At the craft stores and on the net they sell thin colored foam sheets. I would use black). I was going to buy a black one and cut a strip about 1 or 2" wide. Then I would use thin velcro strips, I'd cut the 1" wide strip in half length wise, to make something about 1/2 or even narrower strips about 1" long. then bond the strips to the edge of the foam pad and the other part of the velcro to the edge of the display. I think with a little experimentation as to the width of the foam that works best for you might be necessary.

On my Rav it doesn't have nav and I am glad because I can't see the screen if the sun is out. I seem to get a reflection off my clothes in the screen from sun shining on my clothes. Not sure if a sun screen will provide relief from that. I tried to block sun from the screen but it didn't work. I use a 7 inch Garmin in the center storage area, fits perfect and no issues seeing the screen. Also you can change information even when car is moving.
I have a screen shade in my Prius and like you said it's not a cure all. It helps in most situations but there are times such as low sun coming in the rear window when it still washes out.

I found this one www.aliexpress.com/item/4000046770208.html. but it doesn't have clear instructions of how it adheres to car. And no reviews. I'm surprised this is the only one on the market.
Just measured my screen and it's 27.5cm wide and the dimension on website says 23.5cm wide. Guess i'll give it a miss until someone makes one to fit.

So who is going to be the guinea pig?
Does the stickum work, fall off? Does it warp in the heat?

its a sticker base, mine hasn't fallen off (yet). just practice clean surface before adding the sun shade.
mine hasn't warped from the heat, i live in cali ... and it hasn't been that hot yet.

I wish it wasn't a stick on as it leaves marks on the screen when and if you remove it. Worried about it flexing from the head. Hope they'll make one that goes over the head unit like a cover.

I cleaned the area very well before putting it on. Applied plenty of force and kept it in the shade [garaged] for a few days to go hard. So far so good. It provides plenty of shade for the screen and looks a lot better than the screen jutting up out of the dash.

I purchased my shade from Amazon and am happy with the fit and the look. It would be nice if Toyota incorporated a sunshade in the future so we would not have to resort to stick on solutions. Has anyone tried a tablet anti-glare screen protector as an additional measure?

Cost aside, this one appears to fits the head unit much better that the sun shade I purchased. I did not come across the one you found in my previous interned searches. Thanks for sharing.FYI a cheaper option
