I haven't used them in my car but they would seem to work great in the roof with the tint. It gets hot under the sun.

I've been running a static cling "stick on" shade that keeps the sun from beating through the top so much. Bought it from one of the catalog companies a few years back and works pretty well...but the car is still extremely hot after it sets in the Florida sun for awhile.

i prefer the solid top but mine came with the glass top unbearable, put in the visor clips right it and noise went down and since the side facing the sun is white it reflected alot of heat away from the inside of the car, yes i reccomend it and do it soon, it is cheap; at ecklers

it is money well spend you won't regret it

only caveat.... you will lose a little headroom.....
