Nice.

How do those side shields stay in place?

 

Randy--

Mine fit rather snugly in the window trim. There are little suction cups strategically placed that keep the shields in place ultimately. Takes a couple minutes to put them in, another couple to pull and re-roll/store them when leaving. If Nicole makes it to Sharktoberfest, you can see them and buy them there. Bring cash, since her website clears through PayPal, and they confiscate sales tax on the sale. I know you send a check every year for all that avoided tax as I have to, but at least we get to use the money until April 15.

 

Any good tint shop that you visit will have at least two qualities of tint to choose from and will know exactly what the state restrictions are. Always go with the higher quality tinting.

 

Window tinting did wonders for mine, and with the all white leather interior, it doesnt look quite so much the pimp-mobile from outside as when the glass was clear.

Nicole sells an improved set (11 years newer) of what I have been using made by the same company (Heatshield). The windshield shade just fits behind the folded down visors and rear view mirror. The door glass shades use suction cups. The rear quarter glass shades are cut to press snugly into the window gasket - no suction cups needed. The hatch shade goes above the rear visors and has a bunch of suction cups. After 11 years, most of the suction cups have had it, but the shades still can be made to stay in the windows. The hatch shade droops but still blocks 95+% of the glass.

Show me another 238K mile 928 that still has straight rear quarter interior pieces. It only takes a few weeks in the midsummer sun to warp them.

 

I have that full set, and use them, a couple of weeks ago it was really hot here in Georgia, I used my IR temp gun and my car was 178 on the roof of the car, the console lid was 128, that is pretty good if you ask me.

 

I'll let you know how this works. I bought one.

 

Mine are still perfect at 190K

 

That's cause your hatch-bar is always open.

Works well, in my experience. Had one in Texas for the Scorpio. The hatch was actually a security device, with part of the cover locked inside.

The idea of a tinted windshield sounds good but scares me. 23 years ago my lightest available, highest quality available 3M tint on my side windows made it difficult to see out at night, like a one-way mirror. I came very close to removing the part of it that blocked the side mirrors. Maybe that's changed.

Just an FYI that most acquarium/pet supply stores will carry replacement suction cups withh various attachment types.

Andre here made some window shade panels from some insulation sheet material from Home Depot or Lowes and found some larger, sturdier suction cups somewhere. The insulation material will not hold up as well as Heatshield, but his scution cups were an improvement. I'm not sure how those aquarium cups will work. The originals are inserted to accept plastic screws and washers to attach to the Heatshield material. May the inserts can be swapped into the new cups. I'll take a look at them. Thanks.
