Hey all,
With the heat ramping up this summer I think its finally time I buy a sunshade for my car. I have 35% tint all around my car, windshield is 70%. Unfortunately its not ceramic, but I don't really feel like paying to get tint redone. I have an R7 mounted high near my window visor which I have hardwired and I really do like it. When I came back from Waterfest last weekend to my car, it was BLAZING hot. The shift knob I have is metal and i've gone a summer and a winter with it no complaints until it nearly burned my hand and I had to snag a beer coozie that my friend got from a vendor to put over it for the ride home.
Only problem is I have a feeling it will interfere with sunshades, maybe. I'm sure a sunshade also will be annoying for those who keep their RDs center mounted. I won't go to a mirror mount, I don't like having it in my center field of view while driving. Theres always the option to unplug and move out the detector every time I wanna put the sunshade up, but the suction cups will still be there.
Anyone have a sunshade? did you cut holes in it to keep your detector able to be posted up, or did it not interfere? I know this is a ridiculous question but it is so damn hot. Black interior dark gray car, 110 heat index, tints definitely made sure I didn't boil alive but it is BRUTAL. I went to uni for 4 years in the freezing cold too, so i'm acclimated to that.
