C-3 T-Top shade
I have a 82 with glass t-tops. I want to shade it from the sun in summer. Has anyone used the material style covers from Ecklers, or the peal and re-stick tinted covers from various companies? thanks.

Yes I bought a kit from Corvette Central that is a peel and stick which is a black film with small holes to block most of the sun. They work great and have been on the car for a few years no with no problems. I have no idea if they still sell them though.
OK here you go:

I have t top sun shades from Thompson Astro Tops. They are panels that snap into the glass tops. They were purchased from Thompson and are shown in the lower right side of the page:

I have had them for about 4 years and they are very effective. Since they are panels, and not a film they are easy to remove and reinstall.
