Durable, useful Sunshade?

Years ago, I had a folding accordion style windshield sunshade. This seemed to be a bubble wrap that was sealed inside some sort of reflective foil. This did the trick.

It finally failed, after years of use. Late last summer, I found another one of these at AutoZone. However, for whatever reason - the fabric that was used at the sealed edge started deteriorating. As a result, after only a month or two of use - this new version was just shedding black lint all over my car (and me).

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I'm less concerned about an exact fit; I'm more concerned about durability and ease to place/remove. I'm not a fan of anything that would require some sort of "install this clip here" via 3M sticky tape kind of thing.

The thin flimsy cheap ones tend to do that. I have one I have used for four years starting with my 08 Mustang and it looks the same as new using it on my newer 2010. I got mine at Advance Auto Parts. It's the heavier one that is more rigid and will not sag. It has high quality edging that does not shed or come apart. The foil has never separated either.

I bought a cheap thin one for the 84 Thunderbird I recently had and the edging disintegrated turning into dust that went everywhere.
