    Dude... It is ARIZONA. It's a dry heat.

    20 miles from water, 2 feet from hell. Damn, I miss the desert!

    Those are kind of pricey, but besides helping keep the cabin cooler, they may also make it harder to see into the boot.

    I use them and LOVE them!
    I have the set for Clubman now, but I used different set on my old R50 as well (I have that for sale now, contact me as it will fit your R53:D).
    It's the same fabric/texture as the sun roof shade and from the outside (few feet away) looks like tint...
    Easy to remove and no worries of damaging as tint film...

    I am not in AZ, but here in Ontario in the summer it can get almost as hot:devil::devil: as down South (and humid, too)....

    It does help. Period!:Thumbsup:

    How does it attach Tata? I assume via suction cups?

    Interesting. I saw those on a JCW at MOTD 8 and I've been looking for them ever since. Ran by the local dealership and I got some info on them. I'll have to dig up the accessories manual they gave me to see what the quoted price is. I think both sets attach with tabs.

    In some states you can't tint the rear windows darker than the front. So, shades are a good way to get around them. I'd use them with tint, not as a substitute.
