Garmin 27xx sunshade in a pinch

TheAxeman · Apr 25, 2007

All you need is a Glad food storage container, a little black Krylon fusion paint, and a couple of velcro stick on squares. Cut off the top, the bottom, and one side and you end up with something like this. The volume measurements on the top even add a little stylistic touch. Tested for over 500 miles with no problem.

A picture of two of the children while I'm at it....

So what size container do you need?

TheAxeman · Apr 25, 2007

The container I used was 16 oz I think but some of them vary in depth and have the same outside dimension....deeper sunshade, deeper depth.

:good:

I've already got a sunshade, but I may make one of these just to see if I like it better.

I bought a piece of ABS from the local hobby shop, used a heat gun, trimmed the edges for shape and cut out the switch location.

I attached it with 2 pieces of velcro. Looks inexpensive and it is. <$8

Frugal is good. I'm going to raid my wife's 'cabinet full of plastic stuff' and see if I can find something that fits.

Yeah, and that stuff always seem to vanish anyway, so she won't miss it.

Slick idea, Axeman. It looks good in the photos. I may muck around with something similar for my Zumo.
