I loved mine...especially in the summer...it really helped on the heat inside the car and was alot easier to cool with the AC...but....they started to sag like most peoples headliners do...so I re-did the headliner and haven't figured out what I will do to recover the shades...but they are great!!!

same here, never used them yet, but they look like they come in handy. for me i take my t-tops off alot so i think they would get in the way most of the time for me.

I have a pair but the problem is that I have C&C tee tops and they wont fit. I will probably go to a place to have them adapted to fit. Too bad they dont make them for aftermarket tops.

I have a set that came with my car, which are sagging. I too have extra material from when I put a recovered headliner in. I had started a post a while ago about how to recover the sun shades. I would like them to be recovered with this material and retian the original stitching. Also, I suppose I could spray paint black the opposite side of the shades. OR, I could just buy a new pair of them.

The previous owner of my car lost them so I got a grey set from a wreck. It's mint, but my interior is black.

I had made my own out of a sheet of cardboard.. and some tin foil.. no pics of it.. but the only way to put mine in are to tilt up the t-top.. never sags.. works great on keeping the car cooler.
