Default Mid Am Removable Top Shade

It's junk. Took the top off my car, set it down on the bed, applied the shade and rubbed it down per the instructions. After putting the top back in the car, the shade fell off.

And to top it off, the shade is too small.

Is the shade from West Coast Corvettes any better? They look the same to me.

Thanks.

Did you clean the top several times with alcohol? For static cling it needs to be very clean. Hope that helps
