X6 (G06) Windshield Sunshade - Where can I find a custom one?

First time I'm dealing with this issue. Until now, I was always able to go to Weathertech/Covercraft and get a windshield sunshade fitted for my car.

I got an X6 with Driver Assistance package which makes the rearview mirror assembly wider than normal and I'm unable to find a sunshade that fits properly.

I emailed Weathertech/Covercraft and they said no ETA on making one for my car. The closest I got to finding out that would fit an G06 was Coverking, however, they don't have one for the wider rearview mirror assembly.

Weathertech has one available for the X5 with the large sensor but I'm not 100% sure it will fit my X6.

Any suggestions?

If they don’t have your size they will custom make it for your car.
Check out the head shields for the glass roof panels during the hot summer.

Does your car have the driving assistance pro package?

Currently they are only available for G06's without:

"Item# 2066 w/o Driving Assistance Professional Package "

My Executive Package includes Parking Assisant Plus & Active Park Distance Control. No mention of Driving Assistance Professional Package but they could be one and the same

I think you're good to go, Driving Assistance Professional Package would be in addition to anything else, it's not a bundled package. For reference, I attached an image of my windshield that has that package. If yours doesn't look the same you're good.

I got a very quick response from Heatshield saying they'll let me know when they'll measure the G06 with Driving Assistance Professional Package. Hopefully won't be too long!

Coverking was horrible, they send me a sunshade that doesn't fit and I still had to pay for shipping both ways. Poor customer service.

Please let us know when you get your Heatshield and how it fits with the DAP Package. I always had good fits from Covercraft on previous BMW's. Hopefully they get their act together.

Looks like covercraft finally released one for the X6, however they don't list DAP as an option. I will email them.

Covercraft also added a custom fit sunshield for the X6, and they confirmed it fits cars with DAPP. I ordered mine today, will post pictures on how it fits.

Product: Covercraft UVS100 Premier Series Custom Sunscreen

Reply from Covercraft: "Shawn answered: Expert
"Yes, we do have a pattern for your vehicle, and should be the default option for your vehicle with pattern # UV11724. I double-checked with our pattern team and they confirmed this sunscreen pattern will accommodate your DAPP. Thanks for the inquiry always good to double-check if there is a question/concern." "

I finally got the covercraft sunshield. It fits my car perfectly, good coverage and compatible with DAPP. I did have to adjust my blendmount mirror mount to allow placement against the windshield.

Got the heat shield yesterday for my 21 X6 and was disappointed with the fit. I don’t have the DAPP, so that’s not the issue, but the heat shield was slightly too tall. Even with the bottom edge jammed against the windshield bottom/dash, the top of the shade won’t fit under the top edge of the windshield. It’s also pretty stiff to get around the rear view mirror.

Right now, I’ve got it propped up at a shallow angle held in place by the lowered sun shades hoping that over time in the sun it will soften up a bit. I’ve had heat shields before and this is the first one I’ve ever had fitting problems with.
