It is a bit oversized so it can fold round the A pillar and be locked by the doors, rather than the windows.
I will add a photo soon. I'm on my tablet now.

So here it is:

As you can see it has 2 flaps, but is just wide enough to get clasped between the door and the A pillar anyway. Makes it more wind resilient.

Front is alu foil, back is thin plastic foam. It is a bit worn from frequent use.


Rolls easily, weighs just a couple of ounces.

They sell these for a couple of euros in general auto parts stores.

Had it on today, full sun, ambient 25C, windows closed. Temp inside on return was 36 Celsius. Beats cracking the windows imho.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
