Someone was making a roll-up sunroof shade...

A while back someone posted that they had a idea for a roll-up sunroof shade that remained in place with the roof open or closed. They were going to try to get it produced.
I was wondering if this has come to production yet?

I actually saw one of the ragtop deals on a PW MCS last week. It was cool, but I wasn't able to talk to them about it.

I've been trying to get my idea produced...still tryin'....its a roll-up permanantly installed opque shade that does not at all interfere with using the mesh shade, so you can have no shade, or just the mesh shade, or just my opaque shade, or even half mesh/half opaque...blocks the sun glare and also keeps the car from getting overheated..........one of NAM's vendors is looking into it now so we'll see what happens, but does anyone out there know of a manufacturer who would want to take on a project of a specialty product for a limited market???

I do know of a outfit that makes "pressed fiber card" (really heavy paper/ cardboard)
My Dad and I have them make battery boxes for old Porsches
We were able to have Porsche "officially approve" of our product for restoration.
Also have worked with some plastic
and metal fabricators
let me know what direction you may be going.

PM OK
