A quick solution for me is a mini portable window unit from Walmart ($60.00
with remote) stowed in the top bin. Simply lift it up on the ledge and it
blows into the screened window. Thermostat controlled and whisper quiet. I
found this solution in the archives. The guy that suggested it also
suggested sewing a closure to keep the cold air in. We used a blanket and
clothes pins to complete the Jed Clampett affect. We were very cold in
August last year.

 A nice refinement (also from the archives) is to build a hanger to hook
into the top stow bin and hang it down into the driver or passenger window
with a nice cut out to fit it to. Maybe this summer I will add that
refinement. Here in Houston it was 98F in the shade at 10:45 this morning.
