Any suggestions on a sun shade I could install overhead in a pa-18?

I have been giving a guy his CFI in a Maule M7 (newer), it has a really slick roll up shade that I thought would be great in a super cub too.

I think it came with the plane when it was built.

It’s been in the cub awhile but I think I got it from here
Works great. Never move it.

Do a Google search for “baby window blind for car”. They are roll up type and should be small enough.

I use 4 of those in my Cub. I just slide them over the X brace. They weight less then nothing.

This one is the perfect size for a super cub. I don't use the suction cups, I attached it to the top of the windshield frame and when down it just lays on the V tubes. even with the door open. Push the button on the right and it disappears. Its cheap, try it and you'll love it. Great safety item when flying towards the sun

Silkscreen or stain something else on it. Shoepolish?

Glenn, the first thing I bought before leaving Memphis with my plane was to stop by Wally world and pick up one of the baby shades like yours. worked great flying back to NH. Chip

Four of them! How do you keep their arms and legs from dangling down and blocking your vision?
