At my office, there is no covered parking, so I park my TL in the sun. I just bought one of those sun reflectors for the front windshield. It is one of those long ones that unfold to the length of the dash.

Those of you who happen to use one or used to use one, where do you usually keep it when it is not in use? Right now I just dump it in the back seet, but I'd rather keep it somewhere more or less concealed and non-obtrusive to other passengers. This is hardly an issue, but I just thought I'd find out what other people are doing. Thanks!

 

I bought one of those and there is no practical place to keep it because it is so big.

Since I don't park outside for any length of time I don't keep it in the car unless I know I will be parking outside and then it goes in the back seat or the trunk.

 

...in the trunk!

 

Would one of those space blankets work with the foor corners clipped on at the four corners of the windshield, or wil it make the car like an oven? They sell those at sporting good stores and my local museum gift shop(MoS Boston) for about seven bucks, they could show some real potential.

 

I have the UVS100 for my TL which is probably as bulky a sun shield as you can get, so like you, I don't like leaving it in the back seat.

- When I get to work, the UVS comes out of the trunk to do it's job
- For lunch runs with friends, the UVS goes back in to the trunk
- After lunch, UVS is out of the trunk and back into the car
- Leaving work for the day, the UVS goes back in the trunk (more specifically, in the cargo net) until the next morning when I do it all over again.

Just a small price to pay for keeping the car about 20 degrees cooler during the day - of course tint and leaving the sunroof tilted help too!

 

Actually, I never thought of leaving the sunroof tilted. Thanks for the tip. Looks like I'll have to resort to the trunk too. Wish I wasn't such a lazy ass
