Walmart has a fold up rear window screen that fits good.

This is the first time I've heard of the transparent roof panel being referred to as "sunroof".

I clicked on this thread out of curiosity about this "sunroof".

I had the same issue though with my T-Tops on my 1995 TA when I lived in Miami. I bought it with inserts that helped with the heat. Alternatively, you could always just stow the roof in the trunk and don't stop!

I ran the transparent roof for almost 6 yrs on my C6 (while living in central FL) with no heat issues using these headliners. I currently have the one from RPI and now live in central TX where the summers are in triple digits. Again, no heat issues...
