Works OK, but there have been at least 2 vendors that have promised a shade (thicker and truly blocks out the sun/heat) yet neither has produced one as of now...
For 25 bucks, its allright, you can also take out your top and cut to fit a peice of cardboard to press fit in it... I painted a peice black and while not the most stylish item, it works... Smells a little on hot days (cardboard smell)...

I cleaned the inside of my top, installed it and left it for about an hour, then worked on the bubbles. Then I left it over night just sitting in my kitchen, re-installed the top on the car the next day…
Never had a problem since, has been on for about 3 months now…
For what its worth…

For 25 bucks, it's a worthwhile investment.

Or, do what I did and make one out of cardboard, cost=$0.00...
I just hope the slight smell of cardboard on a hot day goes away... (-:
(really only notice it when I open the door the first time)...
