Agree, which is why I purchase 2 and double them up (they're really cheap), attaching 2 mesh screens to the same pair of suction cups.

Oh holy moly, this is expensive for no good reason! I wonder how many of these they sell at $1,500+ per set. I feel like I could buy a lifetime supply of automotive shades for that price.blsewardjr wrote: āWed Feb 27, 2019 4:40 pm New Jet Shades for DA40 are out -- https://jet-shades.com/shop/propeller/j ... nd-da4042/
Jet Shades now has a new formulation that allows them to stay in the windows while parked on the ramp. This new formulation will reflect most heat and absorb only a small portion. They can stay in your windows while parked at a ramp. They will become about 20 - 30 degrees warmer than the interior temperature of your aircraft. In some climates, the interior could get over 140 degrees while parked. If these conditions exist, remove your Jet Shades from your windows.
Please let us know how those work out.blsewardjr wrote: āFri Mar 01, 2019 6:27 pm I've found that while normal shades block glare they do next to nothing with regard to heat. I'm planning on trying the cockpit solution, which is $1000, to see if they can cool things down. They have a 30 day return policy so if it doesn't work I'll return them.
