Sunshade ?
 
Is there some type of retractable sunshade for the hatch ?

SE 08-25-2010 02:25 PM

Yep.

All touring models have it standard, 2010 Nismo models have the correct panels for it but no actual cargo cover.

If you have a base model you have to swap out some of the interior trunk trim pieces to add it.

Why would you need one? Even on a sunny day, no significant sun glare enters the cabin from the rear window. The Touring models come with a retractable cover to hide whatever you have in the trunk. Is that what you meant?

FERRARI 08-25-2010 02:42 PM

I am worried about sunbleaching ......is it something you can see thru while driving?

Sorry, no sunshade availiable on any model. As stated above, cargo cover is available for touring models, although that really wouldnt do much for "sun bleaching". Do what I and many others have done... get the windows tinted and be done with it :tup:

I don't think I have one on my roadster... LOL....

Cheap fix tint the Windows.

I dont want a film on the inside of my windows......and I think the cargo cover is not meant for using while driving......and it has to be lowered every time you stop.....I think.....lol

Cargo cover just covers the floor board in the trunk just like a sport utility cargo cover does. It attaches to the hatch so it goes up with it when opened. My wife leaves her cover on all the time. Tint is the best option.

?? What is the big deal with having film on your windows? Tint has been around for a long time, and I can't think of any reason NOT to get it (unless its illegal in your State). Pretty much all places have lifetime warranties on it as well.

^^ +1 just tint the windows. much more efficient than the cargo cover.

if you decide to do a sub or something down the road it'll be hard to see inside too...which is good. cargo cover could work against you in that situation.

Does she leave it down while driving ? Added tint can and does get scratched......

What are you doing to your tint to scratch it? I've had tinted cars for 15 years and never any scratches. Especially for the inside hatch glass, I don't think I've had to even clean it once yet. If you use decent microfiber and a good spray like Invisible Glass, you won't have any problems.

I primarily use my cargo cover to hide what is in back, from the sight of thieves. I need to retract cover when I load up the back with groceries. The paper bags etc. shift and touch the glass by the time I get home. I do not know what it takes to scratch tint.
When I put rifles in the back and go to the range, they are hidden from all eyes, which becomes one less talking point with the police, if I were to be pulled over.

I have tint and I leave my cargo net pulled down while driving. Been that way since April of this year. So far no issues.

I found the same problem in my base model. When I bought the 40th s/t it had it and I love it. No more reflections. I leave it on all the time. so, :iagree:

Good point. But I have a hard time seeing anything road-related thru the rear window anyways - seeing what's in my hatch will at least give me something to look at. :icon17:

But for OP, no retractable sunshade like what they find in premium sedans offered for the Z, either from the factory, or (AFAIK) aftermarket.

Tint right now is the only option ATM.

Can you see thru the retractable sunshade with the rear view mirror ?

It attaches to the hatch, so when it goes down, it covers the trunk compartment only.
