NEW Sunroof Sunshades...

I've got my first production samples back. Sunshades for both sunroof sections in the car (front windshield sunshade shown). Just unroll them, put them up and pull the perforated shade. They can stay up without the shade, but it's cleaner. Same material as the front winshield sunshade we sell. I've have pics, prices and a way to order coming up later this week. -Pete, Stratmosphere. 1-866-533-1777

OK, these are now available for order. Just unroll the shade and place it in the space inbetween the factory shade and the glass. Pull the factory shade closed to make sure the new sunshade stays in place.

Normally I will stock these sunshades at all times. If you order now, expect delivery in about two weeks. Your initial orders will be custom made to order. $29 for the front sunroof shade. $26 for the rear sunroof shade. $49 for the pair. Here are some pics. You can order online or call us anytime Toll Free at 1-866-533-1777. -Pete, Stratmosphere

I am interested, but concerned as well.

I have been told by 2 different window tint places that tinting the glass would cause it to crack or shatter.

In addition, to put a reflective type sunshade in there would do the same.

That is why I put a roof graphic on to block out the Arizona sun.

Any ideas on this?

I have a graphisc and limo tint. I have had this through the entire Florida summer.

I have had no issues at all.

I like the stratmosphere option, looks like a good product.

Well...we've sold 1,000's of the same for the front window on all sorts of cars. One side is reflective silver and one side is white. I guess you could flip it to the white side if you wanted to cut down on reflectivity. -Pete, Stratmosphere

This shouldn't be the same as tinting the window... beacuse the heat absorber and REFLECTOR is not the glass itself, in this case the heat should'nt get too much hotter than it already is... black like tints problems are 2 fold one is that they ABSORB tons of heat, because thats just what dark colors do.. lighter colors reflect, it's all there in yoru physics or chem book form highschool. second, tints are applied to the glass,, when they contract contract and expand they do it at a differtn rate then the glass in the window and they casue surface tension is I"m sure woudl be condusive to a sunscreen failure. Now I don't work for they company or even plan on buying one but i'd say I doubt they could cause much heat.

just to let everyone know, I ordered a set and got them yesterday. They fit great, but I have yet to walk out to my car this afternoon to see if they are doing their job. I imagine that they are however. Good product, decent price.
