Default Transparent roofs

Has there been any discuss into providing some type of pullout shade or insert that could be used so on extremely sunny/hot days there could be some relief when driving and/or being parked?

Thanks,

Mike

Check with Mid America Motorworks. They offer one that attaches with suction cups. I'll be buying one for next summer...


Happy Holidays to all.

Get the roll up kind if you're planning to put it in and take it out alot, get the solid one if you're going to leave it it. I have both and I prefer the roll up, it's easier to store. The solid one is pretty bulky.
