Abstract: A windshield shade, made of a generally rectangular piece of material, having a top, a bottom, and two sides. The shade is foldable, in accordion style, along a plurality of fold lines, which extend from the top to the bottom of the shade, and the shade can be secured in the folded configuration. The shade also has perforations, extending across the shade from one side to the other, so that the height of the shade can be adjusted. A section of the material is cut out of the top, so that the shade will not contact the rear view mirror of the vehicle. The shade may also have a thumb hole near each side of the shade, to make handling of the shade easier. The top of the shade is a straight line, except where the section is cut out for the rear view mirror, and the bottom of the shade is cut so that the fold lines which are closer to the windshield are slightly longer than the other fold lines.
