Default Glass Top blackouts

What are the best glass top blackouts to buy? I've seen the type that use static to hold them in place, and I've seen the ones that clip into the roof panel. There is a big difference in price so I wondered if anyone has used any of these products. Out here in Vegas your air needs all the help it can get.

I have the static cling ones and they work great. Had the other ones that are held in place by tabs, but several problems. The tabs did not always want to slip under the edges where they should, the center would sag, and, most irritating thing, the back side is a yellowish white that you can see through the ttop. You could also see all the staples where the black cloth for the bottom side was attached. That is just poor design. Threw they away - $100 worth of junk.

read this post think it was for outside t-top, but now I assume you are talking about the inside. Has anyone done anything to the outside of their mirrored t-top to change the look. I don't rerally like the looks of the mirrored tops. :steering:

I bought the black out kit that has little holes in it. It is easier to install. You can push air bubbles out through the holes. They are easy to remove and clean the glass ect. :conehead
