Abstract
An automatic sunshield device is disclosed, which is a unique sunshield that protects the interior upholstery of a vehicle. The automatic sunshield device comprises first and second body components that are configured to slide out on tracks installed on opposite sides of the front and rear windshields to protect the vehicle when in a parked position. The body components would run on a track above and below the vehicle windshield, residing in the front frames of the vehicle, so it would remain invisible when not in use. The two body components of sunshield material would roll out and meet in the middle to interlock like puzzle pieces to create a total shield from sunlight. Movement of the body components is facilitated by the vehicle motor or an independent motor.
