Sunroof Shade Option

[SocalR1T]

Took the bait and tried this. Fits about 95% right and does the job. Until something better comes along, best $50 spent to solve this problem

Don't know how good this shade is, but its available on Amazon now

I tried it, couldn't get it to fit at all.

This is what I did. You don't need the best tint on the roof. I got XPEL with 80% protection or some sort. Roof is already kinda dark, so you just need the protection against the heat.

Any issues with the roof glass? Some concerns that the tints may overly heat the glass and cause cracking.

Did you have to cut it at all?

Haven't logged in here in over a month so I didn't see this. May be too late, but I had to do a little trimming. It was trivial since there is a gap between the glass and the rest of the roof. Just use a brand new blade or 2.

I found that Rivian (both models) is in Manufacturers list on the HeatShield Store website. I have these for my last 3 or 4 cars/trucks and they are great.

This included windshield, the front windows and a Top shield so I bought them all. They also had a rear window which I did not buy.

Will report what I find when they arrive.

I'm curious what your review of this product would be. I'm considering getting the roof and windshield. Are you happy with your purchase? Thank you.

I have the heatshield ones on my R1S. Happy with the windshield, I flip it black side out when stealth camping. The roof shade I put in last summer when I first got it, and it's a little clunky looking. Haven't used it much since, but will in the summer.

I ended up not using the roof or side shields because I added thermal tint all around inside so I cannot use anything with suction cups. I still use the windshield sunshade and it stays quite comfortable. I am happy with the windshield sunshade.

Is there any update on the R1S shade? The website still says spring(ish). Summer is quickly approaching.

The Hansshow option is working well for me:

Thanks again OP. This thing is exactly what I was looking for! You just tuck it under the edges of the trim and it is great!

I received mine yesterday but I wasn't able to get it under the edges of the trim. Any tips? I could only get it under the trim on the front of the car. The side trims and back trim were so tight I was afraid to press any harder trying to wedge my fingers in.

Just pull down on it. You won't hurt it. A plastic automotive trim tool is ideal if you have one, since it won't scratch anything up.

I have this as well and think it is fantastic. It looks 'almost factory'.

I've got a 4'x5' piece of this sunroof PPF on the way, PPF Paint Protection Film Glass Sunroof Clear Bra VLT70% UV99% Block W – EzAuto Wrap . I"m hoping it'll cut down on IR, and protect the sunroof glass a bit. Will report back after it's installed, hopefully by the weekend.

How did the install go? Did it make a difference on the heat?
