Default windshield shade

well im looking for a pair of those windshield sun shades that fold up in a small circle, the type that have a spring wire around the outer and then you simply twist them in to themselfs, they sell them at walmart, magic-shade, but the smallest ii found are 25X28 inches. the 28" wide is fine but the height is way to much and makes it a pain to install, i need about 18' or 20" tall, any one found these.

I just had to cut mine out of the car. I put it in the dash and it got caught behind the sharp edge of the vin plate.. So after fighting with trying to get it out for about five minutes, i went to the trunk and grabbed some wire cutters and cut the thing out.. Now I have to get another one and figure out how to keep it from getting stuck again.

I'd recommend an actual Window Shade (at least I think that's what it is, I'll double check tomorrow). My mom got me one for christmas a few years ago and it works very, very well. It's a thick insulated material with a silver reflective surface on the outside that rolls up for storage. It takes up more space than the fold-up ones, but it works infinitely better and will last longer. After 5 years or so the only problem I'm having is that the velcro strap is starting to wear out.
