I have to keep my s13 fastback at the mercy of the blazing sun for like 9 hours a day at work. Between the glass sunroof/popup roof and all the windows, it gets hot in there.
My shift kbow, seat, sunglasses, spare change, everything gets hot! Anyone have any tips to keep the sun out? I am going to get a windshield shade, but I need some thing for the windows and the popup sunroof. What is the "sunshield" they talk about in the owners manual?
My door cards are coming apart due to the heat melting the glue &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cry.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cry:'>

They have those things that have suction cups that stick to the window. They dont realy cover the whole window but it will do a little better than letting it stay in the sun.

I bought a 2 piece sun shade from Wal-Mart. It folds into a small circle and unfolds to cover my entire windshield. It works GREAT! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to keep their car cool. I've got a black '91 and if i don't use my sunshade it gets wayyy too hot in there.

The sunshade is black/silver and about $12 canadian.

DO NOT PARK UNDER TREES. tree sap is a BEEYOTCH. take it from a detailer, you don't want to mess with tree's. there's not much you can do about the sun, put some meguire's shit on there with UV protectant...........i do, always have, always will.
