Default Does anyone have this sunliner?

Has anyone tried this sunliner from ecklers. It says it is black with the static cling design. I just wanted something to block some of the sun to keep it cool inside and also keep the sun out while I am driving. If anyone has any info please let me know. Thanks

Yes, I use the same roof liner and it has worked great. Take your time installing it. Make sure your roof is clean and you smooth out all of the wrinkles/folds in the sun shade as you apply it to your roof.
I noticed a distinct difference in sun/heat in the cabin after it was installed.

I use it also, I put it on this summer and haven't taken it off yet. It's relatively easy to install and it stays put.

Can it be taken off during cooler months? Any storage issues?

Yes I have it also. It sure does cut down on the heat with the top on. Good investment. Plus it gives you something to do at stoplights. (squishing out the little bubbles that magically appear after you install it)

Easy to take off and it rolls up like a poster.

I had one for my 97. It stuck to the roof panel for a couple of weeks and then dropped off. I could never get it to stick for more than a few minutes after that. Must have been the wrong kind of static.
