I Was Hot
Guys the lady friend got a C7 with the clear top and with the weather only in the mid 80's I felt like I was in a green house but she was as happy as could be. Walking through Wally World I saw The Sun Cutter rear mesh sunshade part # 804878 size 19'x40'. Do I dare invest $6.97 to see if this thing works. Well, for the sake of my forum brothers and sisters I bit the bullet and the thing is great. The fit is almost perfect, cuts the heat,you still see through it and temperature is way down. We are both happy and the install takes 3 to 8 seconds.

Through glass, some UV does make it through (they say it's equivalent to an SPF rating of about 30). Through plastic however (and the transparent top is plastic), it is very unlikely.....

The transparent roof is great and I would not want anything but on the coupe. There are a few options out there to protect you from the heat...
