Serious question (from a Floridian):I use similar stuff to help cool our motorhome. It is usually behind a curtain so you don’t see it as I don’t think it is very attractive. I guess it would help in the winter too, but we are fair weather glampers.
The roof is one of the main reasons I purchased a select. If it had a retractable shade or made a functional sunroof I would feel differently. To me if it cannot open I have no use for it.
I personally think if you have to do things that retract from the appearance of the car to make it more functional there was an inherent design issue. After owning the Cadillac, and the Grand Cherokee Summit I expect more from a 50,000+ car.
I bought the car to enjoy, and not to reengineer for ford. None of us are being given our cars for feedback.
Did ford not take the car in cold climates and test it?
So my question is when you give someone a ride and they see the solar blanket over your head, what do they say and think? Glad I didn’t buy and electric car they are freezing to death trying to drive. They have a solar blanket on the roof and they don’t run the heat because it will use half the Tank / Charge.
Do you give your riders blankets too.
This is wild. Again I love my car, and I will buy some stuff for it, but we all need to tell Ford. Come On. Man!
What do you wear when it’s 20 below zero and you drive?
Do people bundle up to go outside, get in the car and take all their clothes off or something?
I don’t really get it because I’ve only vacationed where it’s cold and that involves snow skiing and many layers. I wouldn’t need much heat in a car with what I have on in the cold.
That said, yes the heater should work. But I wouldn’t expect Ford (or anyone for that matter) to design a glass roof to do much in below zero weather. Because physics.
