I had those on my 82 for a while. They do block the sun but it will also put marks on the glass at the points it rest on the glass. I had to polish them out with a glass polish. Most came out but some didn't.

Not Cragars, but I'm thinking about taking these off this spring, if you might be interested in a few weeks...
