Transparent Top Problem
Too much heat is entering the cab through the transparent top in hot weather...i am trying to keep my painted top off so that the de-lamination problem can be worked out....anyone have an insulator for the top? it seems i need more than the cling-on reflector to get rid of the heat...any suggestions? thanks

Someone posted a comparison test of interior temps after the car was parked in hot sun with the tinted top or painted top. The difference was quite small, so you might not gain a lot with a liner.
Can anyone remember the numbers or link to the thread?
