I'm sure you are correct Tombie2, but you can also get reflective film that works even better at the infra-red end of the spectrum and it is this red end that is the 'heat end'. Now, I don't know if the heat end reflective films are available for the auto market (as they are for the housing market) but I would be highly surprised if they are not.

Yes, and I winge about it as well. It's not only the added heat, but also the sun shining directly on your head. I have often had to put a hat on to keep the sun out my eyes.

I wouldn't have chosen it, but no choice it comes with the SVX. At most times it was a pain. But sometimes, like when driving through forest areas it opens up a great view. When the roof is over it it will be great to leave the sunroof open to let heat out, and rain won't be able to get in.

Mine is great - I have a normal 110 but ordered as an option (was only $150). Have had it at 24 degrees and no issues, but it could be:

1. My paintwork is silver - so probably cooler
2. Later models may be darker tinted - this is certainly quite dark

Could tinting be an option?
