keeping interior cool and sharp
I've been debating tinting my windows and putting a sunshade in windshield when a park in the hot sun or maybe if i could find one of those car covers that just cover the top down to the bottom of the windows. What do you guys think?

Do it. The carpet in the cargo area takes a real beating from the sun unless you leave the cover over it.

Both my hatches have tint and my 93 has tint on the door glass. Makes a difference in keeping the carpet from fading, plus it looks good.

I can help you with a shade that is an accordian type, permanently mounts on the windshield next to the A-pillars. Grab a tab from both, pull to the middle and attach to each other with velcro. Retracts to almost invisible. No more storage problems with sunshades, etc. Had one on my vette for two years, most people don't know it's there till I open em up. Let me know. If you want more info, email me.

I sent you email on the shades. Let me know if you don't get it or have any questions.

I have tint and sun shades for the windshield, being all black though it still gets nice and toasty in the summer.

I think its a must for the back window. Plus you dont want people seeing what you have in your car. :yesnod:
