So this is my problem, i get hot when the sun is directly above me and i do need a solution to this. The small holes that the OEM sunshade has doesn't do much of a shade. Is there a cure for this cause im thinking to replace that OEM material with another one but that might be a lot of work!

 

You can wrap the glass with an OEM graphic and it cuts down on the sun, in 2011+ MINI the glass is darker. On my 07 MINI it was much lighter and an OEM roof graphic helped reduce that with the oem shade.

We have a few Union Jack ones left on sale.

 

Thanks but i don't want something permanent like a sticker. I need to have the diversity in winter time to have more light in the cabin, the problem appears only during summer time.

 

Welcome, I know some people go with zippeeshades. As they are a little darker

 

Get the sunroof tinted.
It's not permanent and it blocks a lot of the sun. Also, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

 

Tint is permanent, in winter time i don't want any sun blocking on the sunroof.
I was hoping for something that could be removed nice and easy!

 

It's not really permanent. It can be removed (but can't be reapplied ).
You could buy a really cheap aftermarket sunroof cover. However, you'll have to deal with the rattles and creaks that comes with it.

 

Any suggestions?

I gotta say that although i havent tried it, product seemed kinda what im looking for but with a 100% (or little less) sunblock tint.

 

this is probably what you want:

The fabric on these shades tend to get weak after time so it's best to invest a second set.

 

The only thing that worries me is that those suction cups might wear out over time with all this sun to melt them!

 

You can remove the suction cups.

 

Wont the shade fall without the cups?

 

Nope, the shades are the same dimensions of your sunroof glass. Without the suction cups, the sunshades rests on inner side of the rubber trim.

 

I bet you can fit the zippee shades in between the glass and the roller shade, and have them rest on the roller shade with no problem. You could put whatever you want between the shade and glass area. Maybe cut some dense fabric to size and save a lot of money Or even cut a cheap sunshade

 

Thats a good idea, only some how youd have to stabilize that fabric so it wont jiggle and perhaps make noise when cruising.

 

open the glass. You'd be surprised how effective the screen is at keeping heat in the car.

If I wasn't such a cheap azz I'd have the glass tinted completely black.

 

Open the glass at winter time with 0-15C, u must be kidding.
Theres no way id ever tint the glass black, that would make it useless and permanently.

 

I had the same issue. I used
It is completely removable and reusable. It's a little difficult to install but made a big difference.

 

I am in Texas and in the summer time I find the the heat is too intense coming thru the OEM screen. So since 2010 I buy white poster boards for couple of bucks, cut them to size, and stick them from the inside using two sided clear tape. It keeps the sun out very well and in the winter I take them off. Every few years I invest in new poster boards as they tend to get faded yellow looking with the sun. I had Zippee Shade for my 2004 Mini and with age the fabric was falling apart, and the suction cups had the tendency to periodically lose gripe.

 

A very low tech (and inexpensive) solution that works for me is to wear a fishing hat:

 

Hello, i have no idea what poster boards are. Can you send me a link to the poster boards that you bought? How thick are those poster boards?

 

LOL

 

Your question may have already been answered, but what I did was go to a home improvement store and bought some 5% tint for home windows. It's more of the static cling type as opposed to professional auto tint, and it's not particularly easy to install... Two layers of that and ,,,,,,,shady in there. The rest of the car's glass is tinted as dark as my state allows, but if someone in the future wants to pull the moonroof tint off and burn their scalp off in the Texas sun, then it's an easy removal.....

 

Posterboard is the stuff they use to make protest signs. It is corrugated cardboard usually white but may be purchased in other colors as well.
