I saw a nice sunshade installation in a two-place Lancair at Oshkosh.  (At
least I think it was a Lancair.  I looked at so many planes....)  I believe
this to be a "Koger sunshade" made by an RV builder named Roger Koger.  This
sunshade is available through the Van's Aircraft parts catalog and the URL is:

http://www.vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi?ident=967009075-164-438&browse
=airframe&product=koger-shade

It costs $149.  I'm not 100% sure that this is the same item, but it looks
like it is.  The one I saw was a very nice product.  It slides back when you
don't need it and the rails install with little suction cups.  The passenger
and pilots shades are on separate tracks, so each can get what they want.  
Looked very lightweight, too.

By the way, in the gliders we just wear those goofy hats.  Baseball caps
don't work, since the brim hits the canopy when you turn your head and the
cap falls off.  If you do get one of those goofy hats, cut the little button
off the top.  They can fracture canopies when your head hits then in
turbulence.  (Of course, gliders have much lower wing loading than
Lancairs...)

[There was an article by Jim Frantz in issue 43 of the LNN regarding his
installaion of the Koger SunShade in his 360.  He spoke
glowingly of its
effectiveness and recommended the product highly.
