Had a warm sunny day in North Carolina - 82 deg F outside and R1T was over 100 deg F... need to set my plan to block UV for the summer. After a lot of reading, I am settling on a removable shade for the roof window and UV tinting the front windshield in an attempt to avoid 140 deg F temps in the cabin like last fall. I know there are older threads on these topics, but looking for input on latest offerings and views on existing items. I found 4 shades on Amazon as of today:
Hansshow: $68

BestEVMod: $50
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BP696T25/ref=ewc_pr_img_2?smid=A2IB1J4HBP2C4M&psc=1
Rivigear: $56
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BJ72VPN4/ref=ewc_pr_img_3?smid=A1MAEPS69K378Z&psc=1
Generic: $35
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BRJVBMHJ/ref=ewc_pr_img_4?smid=A88RTWKCDCCW3&psc=1
Not a lot of Amazon reviews on any of these, some comments here on older threads. Any clear preferences or others out there I missed? Clips or no clips better? Get one with the extra reflective layer, and if so, do they fit well?
windshield tinting seems to be specific to local offerings but all seem to be around $250ish for the front windshield only. Lots of comments in older threads here, but looking primarily at UV protection/heat reduction, not how dark they are. Any brand recommendations?
Thanks for the input!
