I too would like to know if there is a version available without the logo printed on the black.
And how it affects the functionality of fully opening the roof.
From what I would assume the "extra material" you have to tuck around the edges would block any incoming air with the R56 roof in the "Vent" position.
Does anyone agree with this?
If I can get one without the logo I will certainly buy one, especially at that price

Since this is starting to resemble an Abbott and Costello skit, I gave up, bit the bullet and ordered the shades for our R56. After they arrive, I'll report on the "excess material" described in the video, what takes place to said material when the roofs are popped or opened and how difficult it is to remove them on the occaision you want to see through the glass. If they turn out as I suspect, there may have to be some surgery performed w/ scissors. I'd prefer a little light coming in as opposed to flapping material; if that's the case.

Installed my Zippee shades on my R55 Clubbie and got to REALLY test them yesterday, as it was warm enough to open my sun roof on my commute home...so, as they suggested, I opened it a bit before moving. As gradually increasing speed I opened roof a bit more , then all the way, going around 60.
No problems!!.
The logo on mine is a dark silver, so it doesn't jump out at you. the excess fabric simply fills in any gaps when closed to seal out any light when closed!

Great service and shades are working well
I am very happy with these shades and they are working well on my 06 MCS.
It does look like conventional shades, silver on the side and black on the other side. But the silver side does the job very well and indeed reduce the temp under the sun.
Easy to install and make sure the loosen edge facing front so the wind don't blow away your shades when open the roof....Yes..I drove it few times with roof opened on the freeway and they were fine...make sure you check the rubber sockets..they may loose sometimes..
Love the product and my wife loves it...although we sacrificed the view but keep the car cool when driving will also make you feel good...more calm and peaceful....
ZippeeShades...I recommend....

?
Anybody know if these guys are still in business? My wife ordered two sets a little over a week ago from the link in the original post, but we haven't received them yet. She also sent an email checking on them and hasn't received a response. I'm just curious what's going on and it doesn't look like ZippeeShade has been very active here lately based on his posts.

I ordered these about 1 month ago and it took me around 2 weeks to get them, but I did send them an email inquiring about my order and they responded. I love them!! It has been almost 100 degrees here in NC for what seems like forever and they've made a big difference.

Hopeful!!
Just used paypal to purchase these for the North Texas heat and a popup window indicated they'd be shipped within 24 hours ($4.99 shipping). I was sent an email immediately stating that the shades were being packed and shipped immediately so in my books that's pretty exceptional customer service!!!

Follow up...
Ordered mine on Friday afternoon, immediately received an email with a tracking number and they arrived Monday... WOW. Pressed out the wrinkles as per the instructions and voila straight in with no problems. Can hardly wait until tomorrow to see how much cooler the car will be with these brilliant add-ons. Many thanks to the folks at ZippeeShade for their product and customer service!!

Absolutely!!!
Without a doubt I am thrilled with these... We're going on over 65/66 days of above 100 degrees in North Texas and I can tell you that these made a huge difference... this was the first day at lunch where I did not have to have the max AC option going with full fan output!!! One of the best $40 purchases I've made!!
Highly recommended!!

Can't see the logo...
My logo is a very subtle gray and you can not see it when you pull the mesh slide over. These have made a noticeable difference in our interior cabin and we're really happy with that as we go into our 73 rd day of above 100 degrees in North Texas.
cheers.
