If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

Although my first question is why get one like this in the first place?

Looks like the best thing for you would be an old skool Pune n Other sunstrip! Sure you would be able to find something that blocks out the sun where the roof should be and almost clear where the mirror is. You could also consider vinyl wrapping that you can use for 6-8 months of the year.

It was an offer I couldn't refuse 6 years ago Geoff :thumb:
I'm sure something must be out there.

Might be worth speaking to a company that does car window tinting, you would still be able to see through the tint film but it would cut down heat .

Phil/Pune,
I agree that window tinting is the way to deal with this, but i dont think the law allows full(as in area of screen) tinting of the windscreen. In this case, i am not sure if the area that is normally roof is classed as windscreen and this area may be allowed to be covered in some way.
