I know their was a question on the forum along time ago about the shades you can use on the inside of glass roof but i can't remember the what the answer was.Does anyone have those top shades that go on the glass roof with just using just a damp cloth to install them?Mid america sells them and i would like to know if it is worth buying one their $27.99.Thank you Charlene

I think that the response to this was that these plastic film, static cling,sun shades really do work, and that they keep the car alot cooler.This was the answer that members from the northeast, and from Florida agreed upon.

I put one on my 35 Anniversary ...they work great..just use a little baby shampoo in water to create the static cling that is necessary for it to stick well.

I have one and they do make it alot cooler. Mine clung on without using any liquid. On the downside, they do cut out alot of the light.
