    Abstract: A sunshade for a vehicle sunroof is structured to have a base member for shielding sunlight from striking the inside of the vehicle through an opening formed in the vehicle body when the sunshade is closed, which is housed within a housing space formed adjacent to the opening when the sunshade is opened, and an edge member integrally provided with a handle, which has a shield integrally mounted on the advancing-side end portion of the base member to shield the advancing-side terminal portion from the view of the vehicle occupant. This construction of the sunshade improves the productivity and reduces the cost of the sunshade.
