Sunshade ?

FERRARI · 08-25-2010, 02:09 PM

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?

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

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,

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.

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 when it is down ?

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

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

Zigen5 · 08-25-2010, 11:02 PM

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

Cheap fix tint the Windows.

FERRARI · 08-26-2010, 08:54 AM

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.

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