This is due to the fact that the Mini Cooper's sunroof is only equip with a see through mesh screen, rather than a solid screen, used to cover up the cabin from the sun.
By now I am entirely fed up with my sunroof, so I went online searching for some kind of sunroof sunshade to protect my interior, and I was only able to find 2 companies that produce a good quality sun shade.
Company #1:
http://www.stratmosphere.com/mini_interior.htm
Company #2:
http://zippeegear.com/
They both look like very good quality products, but I'd like to hear some reviews of which one is better. Has anyone here on this blog done any comparison and/or owned either one of these sun shades? So far I am leaning towards the Zippee one, since it looks very nice, and compliments the black trim of my sunroof. It also is made of that foldable material which I like a lot and priced a lot less than the Stratmosphere. Please let me know your opinion. |
I took your advice and bought the one from Zippee Shade and just received it yesterday. I really like it a lot since it's got a very sleek design, very easy to install, it folds up nicely and stows away into its own pouch, and uses suction cups to adhere to the glass on the sunroof. I also like how I can tilt my sunroof up, while the Zippee Shade is still in place, however the website specifically says don't open the sunroof without first removing the sun shade. Just in case it blows away. I can't wait til the summertime to see how much cooler my A/C gets. I am very pleased and would highly recommend this over my previous cardboard insert, kudos Zippee Gear.
