Abstract
Sunshades for vehicle windows are provided, including a shade having upper and lower edges, and a pair of support members having free ends. One of the members is associated with each of the upper and lower edges, and the support members are constructed to be spaced apart to support the shade in an extended, open position during use. Each of the support members includes a self-straightening tape that is arcuate in cross-section and can be repeatedly folded without significant plastic deformation.
