Sun shield for a windshield

A sun shielding device for a windshield of a vehicle, the device cooperating with a rear view mirror assembly support arm extending away from the windshield for supporting a mirror, the device comprising a block of compliant material having a pair of spaced apart surfaces defining an overall extend of the block, the surfaces being joined by a peripheral edge defining a thickness of the block, a portion of the block being separated into two sections defining a slot therebetween, the slot adapted for fitting around the support arm, the thickness of the block being of a magnitude such that with the block forced between the windshield and the mirror, compliant compressive forces developed within the block apply a wedging action to hold the block between the windshield and the mirror in a position to block the sun's rays incident on the windshield.
