Default Removable Top...

I have one of those "see through" roof tops.
Any advice on how to protect against sun rays w/ this kind of top?... coating, after-market inside cover/panel....anything other than buying a differerent top?

Thanks.

You can buy inserts to keep the sun off the interior. I don't think they're expensive or hard to install.

Eckler's shade

I know this is for a C4 but they make them for the C5 also.
