car shade

Dashboard heat blocker

A car shade is a panel or screen placed in a vehicle's window to block sunlight, reducing interior heat and protecting surfaces from UV damage.

Most commonly refers to accordion-folded cardboard or reflective material propped behind the windshield: I always put up a car shade in summer parking lots.

Also called a sunshade or sun visor, though the latter more often means the built-in flip-down panel above the driver.
