Roof Sunshade (R1T)

Sorry @NY_Rob , just black at the moment. We've tried a couple of grey options, but neither have been a good enough match.

Me too... please get the R1S version out soon!!!

Just got my R1S yesterday and already finding the heat pretty noticeable, shudder to think of what it will be like in August here in the Sacramento area.

Noted! We had a bit of a breakthrough with the R1S design yesterday, so all being well, we'll have them the right side of summer.

Is it safe to assume your offering will address both front and rear for the R1S?

Oh yeah, for sure.

Hi Pete...

Sunshade arrived today and I installed it. There seems to be about a 3/8" gap in between the shade frame (length wise, not a droop issue) and the rear headliner near the center-line of the vehicle and about a 1/4" gap between the frame and the front end (by the mirror) headliner. The sides are a very tight fit- no gaps between the headliner and the frame, but lots of gap space front and rear, almost like the fabric was cut a 1/2-5/8" too short- not like the tight fit I see in your photos from your truck. Do you think the fabric maybe needs to stretch in length (front to rear) for a day or so before it will fill in the gaps?

Of course I can slide the shade all the way forward so there is no gap at the front of the truck, but then the rear gap is so large the clip won't stay in the headliner.

Thanks...

@NY_Rob yeah, these are fairly low-tech things, so once they're unfolded the full memory of the metal can take a few days to find its feet, so just give the entire thing a bit of a wiggle after a few days and it should find its shape and close up the gaps.

^ Thanks Pete.. I'll give it a few days.

Hi Pete... It's been a full week and unfortunately the sunshade never stretched/filled out any any more then what you see in the photos in post #25 above. If I pull ti forward to close the front gap the gap in the back becomes so large the clips fall off. Same thing happens if I try to close the back gap, the front gap becomes so large the front clips fall off.
It seems this particular specimen was just cut too short for the R1T.

Please advise regarding next steps...

Thanks!

Rob

Hi Rob, would you mind just cutting and pasting this to our support form, if I do it for you it'll break a bit of our process, but they'll get you taken care of.
