Windshield Banner
Are you talking about a windshield banner? You can buy them from the internet - Ebay. They are wider than what you need so you install with a soap solution, then cut to fit once in place. This banner is 6 inches wide. I have a 10 inch banner that I want to replace it.

Sandman, thanks.
I was actually refering to the large shading thingys that cover the inside front windshield and block sun.

Ok. Understand.
I had one on an old CRX.
The window on that car was very long so I had to use a sun shade for a truck.
I would measure the length of the windshield, top to bottom and then look for one that is about that size. They also now have these round pop out ones that adjust to fit the area.

I picked one up at the VW parts counter where I bought the car from. It was more $$ then others but fits great.

I've been using the below on my last few cars. More than one place sells them, but they're all the same thing I'd guess. I got this one because it was available with a white interior. If you get one, cut just the end of the plastic bag it's in and you can reuse as a storage case.

Another option is to install clear or 70% window tint con the windshield.
CXP Carbon will block 100% UV and 50% IR.
I know there are laws everywhere on windshield but it is an option.
If clear how would they know?
I would not use the sun screen with a tinted windshield as the screen might scratch the film over time. The screen is cheaper but my windshield tint is working all the time.
Looking into the windshield tint at the moment. $150 for the windshield with ceramic tint. Sound reasonable?
I buy all of mine from Heatshield Store they are a perfect fit and resonably priced.

Yes
I had a friend do it on a small SUV and it was $170 for windshield. I did mine and it was in the $150's. Sounds ok. I think you will like the windshield tinted. A lot of heat comes in here and a black car interior needs it.
That all for the recos and Heatshield Store is who I went with and am glad I did... amazing fit and after 8 hours in direct 90 degree sun the car felt like it was under indoor parking all day. Amazing. No other windshield screen has even done that good of a job. thanks for the reco.
Would have liked to go with the ceremic tiny and still might but the screen was $30 and got it overnight.
