Post DIY Sun Roof Cover.
I couldn't stand driving in the daytime with the sun glaring, and didn't want to look for/buy an OEM sunroof cover. So I made my own for ~$20.

A guy locally did the same thing out of an old headliner, then wrapped it and his existing headliner with new fabric. Very good idea since the OE piece is like a unicorn.

I used velcro with adhesive on the other side to secure it against the glass.

Neat.

I have two sunroof covers in the garage.

One blue w/bag(literally in brand new shape) and a decent condition gray one.

Still gotta glue the tabs back on the sunroof(pieces you slide the cover onto) so I can finally start using the gray one.

Definitely a good write up for those that don't have sunroof covers at all.

This is fucking RAD. Especially for cars w/aftermarket sunroofs where covers aren't even available!
