You are absolutely right, this glass roof is tinted very well and barely lets heat in from the sun. However, there are other reasons to buy a shade like this. Some people don't like the light or glare coming in at particular times of the day. Then, there are some like me that don't like the radiant heat coming off of the glass. I am not sure what the temps are like in Chicago right now but here in Sonora the last few days it has been right at 100 and if I leave the car in the sun for more than two hours, the glass roof gets extremely warm. It is getting close to full summer and it will be well over 100 most days for a couple of months.

The A/C does a great job of keeping the car cool, no complaints there but I don't like the radiant heat from the very hot glass (not the sun) coming down on top of my bald head and I don't like wearing hats when I drive. I really like the shade because while it does let some light in, it blocks most of the radiant heat. I am not going to use the reflective shade above the fabric one as that would block total light and I don't want to do that.

I also purchased this sunshade, mostly to have for days I am working and parking in the direct sun all day. I like it. It is lightweight, fits well, and comes with a nice storage bag. I was hoping to just use the silver lining part when parking, but it is a bit of an inconvenience to keep taking it out and putting it back. During these summer months, I decided to leave it on all the timeā€”unless I will be driving with a passenger. Then I will take that part off so that my passenger can enjoy the pano glass. Tesmanian emailed me back directions which are below. (I didn't use the magnets and it still fits well.)

I had thought about getting my front side windows tinted and may still do that. Looks like WeatherTech may offer the side window sunshade package, and I submitted for a notification to let me know when it is available as I may purchase those instead.

DIRECTIONS FOR TESMANIAN PANO SUNSHADE

1) Choose the areas you'd like to install the magnets to keep saggy area flat . (our suggestion: 2 sides of the center as it will pull flat to the middle of the center).
2) Stick the metal piece w/ adhesive tape to glass roof ceiling
3) Install the UV Screen (1st) and the Sun Screen (2nd) with clips (UV screen should be in between roof & sunscreen)
4) Attach Magnets to the metal pieces to hold the UV screen and Shade together, it will keep the saggy area more secured.

As for the clips, we recommend 2 clips in the front and 4 in the middle . For the additional 2, you may put in the back or you may add it to the center for additional support.

Well, you received a better reply than me; they kept sending me pictures and wouldn't answer my questions. I have mine mounted without the magnetic pieces on as there is no sagging. Does yours sag? What does "two sides of the center" mean to you? I'm trying to envision this and come up with putting them in the middle between the front windshield and the back window and then drawing an imaginary line at this center move each magnet along a perpendicular line about halfway from center; one on each side. Below is my half assed attempt to draw what I'm trying to say: the part closest to this print is the windshield and the back part is back window. First line from windshield to back window divides the shade in half vertically. The second line perpendicular is approximately halfway down the shade and extends to right and left of shade. The circles are the magnets approximately half way to the side on right and left. Is this what you think they had in mind?

Yes. I think that is about right. I just went out to check mine. It isn't flush with the glass and I could probably push it up a good inch and a half in the center, but I wouldnā€™t say it sags. Perhaps in time it may stretch out and sag, but for now I am not bothered that it isnā€™t flush. I think it looks nice actually, and I am glad to have it for extra assurance for the summer. In estimating the space between, perhaps putting the magnets a little closer to center may be the best location when and if using them. If they are spaced too far apart, you may be left with a small center sag. IMHO. Just push up on the shade to get an idea where the magnets might work best.

I ordered the Tesmanian sunshade as I don't want my head to heat up either.

I checked out the weathertech link and became suspicious when a FuelGlove was listed as a related Mach E product. :oops:

Out here in the Inland Empire, east of Los Angeles, the temperature has been running 100 to 111 degrees F every afternoon for the past week.

For what's it worth, in combination with Huper Optik tint, this full sunshade (I have the second layer installed) does make a big difference in half days, when I enter the vehicle at lunch and then at close of business. Full days probably not so much, but I will take what I can get.

And if you raise your hand up to about 2-3 inches away from the windshield and repeat that with the sunshade, you can totally tell there's a difference in radiant heat.

Well worth the cost, if you ask me.

I was going to buy that glove, but it doesnā€™t say anything about being electron resistant. :p

I didn't use the second layer yet, but the first layer made a big difference too. It is not a perfect fit, (& some points aliong the edge are a little wrinkly in the fabric) but it's ok. I wish the clips were permanent because they fall off all over the place and will be lost after a couple of times taking it in and out. I plan on moving it to my GT when it arrives, so I hope I can get the magnets out and re-taped to stick again.
