I’m not a mechanical engineer or a physicist, but Wikipedia says polar momentum only applies to cylindrical objects and should not be applied to non-cylindrical objects because of torsional deformation?About a year ago, someone here shot a Mach-E interior with an infrared camera (it can see infrared as an image...not just heat). It showed that a lot of infrared heat was coming through the roof glass. I'm in Sacramento, where it often hits 105°, and occasionally gets to 110°. But the primary reason to lose the glass roof is to lose WEIGHT, not heat. Look up "polar momentum".
