Transparent top sunburn

My girlfriend and I drove from the bay area to Hollywood yesterday (7hrs). She had a model shoot for skinny bitch clothing. Tonight her chest is red on the part her low cut top wasn't covering. I say she did it shooting outside all day. She says it is from riding in the car yesterday.

Please tell me you can't be sunburned through the clear top...

If it doesn't block UVA and UVB rays, then it's possible. Related article: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/05/he...ally.html?_r=0

I'm not a dermatologist, but I play one on TV. I would have to see some photos of the area in question to provide you with my (un)professional opinion.

I'm in for more pictures of the princess.
Hopefully this won't make her unlike the car, or you could have a problem brewing.

No way from the car. That glass is SMOKED!! Outside, in the sun, uncovered, no sunscreen, all day...you do the math.

The top is treated...GM is not going to sell a part to the car that is gong to open up a window for a suit.
Skinny bitch clothing...well that'a another story.

not possible. I'm as white as they come, can burn from a harsh fluorescent light, and I have had the transparent top in both my C6 and C7. Never burned yet.

Seems unlikely. They sell a cover that suction cups in place for those long hauls, might be your next mod,

Thru the windshield or passenger window, maybe.
Or if the window was down, windburn is stretch, but possible.
Top? Doubt it.

Impossible... The Top and windows are UV protected and No UV light gets in unless the windows are down.
UV light causes the sunburn, not visible light.
