I got the official one from the dealer and was shocked at how poorly it fit. Picked up the Covercraft from Costco, and it is much better, but not perfect. Real pain to push in the passenger side, helps that I've got a big wingspan, being 6'4".

I don't believe Costco has sold the custom cut Covercraft, was it a universal fitting one? I've always got the custom cut ones for my other vehicles, the universal fit ones just suck. I found online that these official ones have different part numbers for different vehicles. Could it be they get you something for another VW? The correct part number is "Part Number: 11A064366 ", and upon checking, it is a different part number from other VW cars such as GTI.

 

I have this which I repurposed from my old Chevy SS (Holden Commodore). It's not a perfect fit but works well enough for my needs.

Covercraft makes one for the ID4. It's just not listed on Amazon yet.
Part #: UV11769BL

I think my sonata's shade fits a little better than yours shown in picture. I just couldn't justify the extra cost on these covercrafts. Do you think they really worth the price?

I have the VW branded one, and like it a lot as it fits perfectly.

 

I’ve had Heatshield sunscreens in three cars including the ID.4, the fit is very good, as is the material.

I did try their side window covers which were ridiculously bad.

 

Where did you find that? I have been using Heatshield on all my previous vehicles. But I cannot find heatshield for ID.4 on Amazon.
I got Xpel ceramic film on all windows except the windshield. So side is really not a big concern for me.

 

I have the Covercraft for my Volt. Fit is perfect, and I used it everyday at the office. I am tempted to buy one for the ID.4, but I don't think I can convince my wife to use it everyday while the car is parked at her work, and it is in the garage at home.

Probably a waste of money for when it is parked outside on weekend trips and vacations, but I have wasted more money on less useful things.

 

I really like these. They also work for snow, but I don't get much of that in Florida. I've had this one for ~9months and still in good shape. Why I like it:
It keeps the car cooler than the ones that install on the inside.
When folded, it fits perfectly in the wasted space below the console.
They are inexpensive.
I bought mine on ebay for $7, but the listing is gone now. This is a similar one: https://www.amazon.com/HEHUI-Windshield-Layers-Protection-Defense/dp/B09921MXH6

 

I have the OEM accessory sunshade. It fits pretty well and the price isn't that bad either. I think mine was $30 from th dealer.

 

Just went to the dealer, and they want 40 for that shade.

 

As long as it covers the binnacle and infotainment screen, which can get very hot, just about any close fitting sun screen works wonders.

 

I had the official one from Audi that was I think made by CoverKing. It worked okay, but it was stiff, took up a lot of space, and still sagged under a lot of Florida sun. In the end, between Florida and South Carolina I've always had better luck with ones like things one that collapse:

That's not the actual one I had for a long time, but close. It eventually died and I didn't replace it yet as during COVID car(s) have mostly sat in the garage.

 

Genuine Dickies sunshield for trucks at Walmart for $16 does good job.

 

The Heatshield looks very similar to the VW OEM one, which seems to work fine.
