Let's Get ready to Rumble!!!

Here is what I have tested over the last few years.
Any and ALL windshield covers that are on the inside will not stop
thermal Transfer. Heat will still get inside the windshield and hit
the cover and bounce around the inside and warm it up quite nicely.
But if you want to Really reduce thermal transfer you need a
windshield cover on the OUT SIDE!

Of course the shameless plug is:

I have spent way to much time and effort playing with inside and
outside sunshades and make them for 40 Foot class As and everything
else in between.
If you have any questions feel free to let me know. BUT, anything on
the inside will allow it to get hot inside . The sun has already
penetrated the Glass when it hits the sunshade. OK it will reduce sun
fade on the stuff the sun hits BUT, it takes care of the front glass only.

Good luck with anything and everything you wish to try, Have fun with it!
