A spring loop folding sunshield and method of manufacture in which a spring loop is enclosed within tape across the intermediate portion of the sunshield and around the edges of the sunshield. The tape is attached across the intermediate portion of the sunshield by creating two ridges across the intermediate portion of the sunshield and sewing or otherwise attaching a tape over the ridges. In one method of creating the ridges, the material is cut into two approximate halves, leaving an intermediate portion which is then sewn to the two approximate halves to create the ridges across the intermediate portion of the sunshield.
