you stick on top of the glass and roll up the window on them..
Solar Car Ventilator

But, the amount of fresh air they bring in can't be close to enough on a hot day.

So, what about stealing that install location (on top of the windows) to place
a fresh air input on one side of the car and of the other side, place a warm air output.
The input would have a small scoop to bring in air
(making the cabin pressurized while at highway speeds)
and the output side would have the scoop point aft, to suck the air out of the car..

If you lived down in Texas, you might want to make the scoop large and maybe out of clear Plexiglas.

Something like this could go in behind the driver and not cause a blind-spot and use the mesh screen on the other side for the output?

Since it's taking in air, the drag won't be so bad.?.
