A sunshade apparatus for use with an automobile having a roof includes a plurality of panels, the panels, in use, having respective retracted positions wherein they are disposed on top of one another in stacked relation on or in the roof, and each being movable from its retracted position to an extended position projecting beyond the roof. The panels are substantially coextensive with one another when viewed in overhead plan in their respective retracted positions. In their extended positions, the panels define a substantially contiguous sunshade extending beyond the roof both lengthwise and sideways with respect to the automobile. The apparatus also comprises a panel guide mechanism for constraining each panel for movement along a respective substantially linear path between its extended and retracted positions. One version of the apparatus can shade both the roof and the windows of a vehicle.
