I have a set of the folding sun shades and they are
holding up well. I find that I don't use them very
much though, since they hardly make any difference in
the interior temperature of the van here in Florida.

My best advice is to park in the shade wherever
possible.

I posted a whole list of things you can do to make
your van more comfortable in hot climates earlier this
year.

A more complete list is also posted on
www.westfalia.org and in the file section
Wolfsburg_Camper group on Yahoo!Groups.
