    All the colour blind ones that is. Actually all hipsters ever knew was what they were told to know.

    Well just going slightly skew off topic, still heat related though.

    Yes any colour if left out will get hot, last week in W.A we had a few 41 something degree days, mainly the monday and tuesday, a customers new (just happen to be black) Range Rover Sport sitting in the sun, the dash had a carpet dash mat and my digital temp gun was reading 85 deg C on the dash. So at that sort of temp, it aint going to matter the colour of the outside panels.

    Regards
    Daz

    Did a long drive to lightning Ridge & back from Bne this week, in a black / industry roof Defender. The A/C struggled, but the exhaust wrap kept the floor and handbrake coolish
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    I'm about to fit a roof tray and I'm thinking of buying a rubber sheet, cutting it to size and fitting it to cover the tray. This could both reduce rattling of anything tied to the roof tray and shade the roof, I think.

    I reckon that is the best idea.

    Make sure you fit it in such a way that it doesn't hold pools of water...
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I thought I'd make some holes in it so I can feed ratchet straps through them to hold things. That should let the water run off.

    On the other hand it is a Defender so it might be better than it just flowing directly into the cabin !
