Solution for metal roof section getting hot?
Solution for metal roof section getting hot?
Here in Vegas, the metal interior section of the roof where it connects to the windshield gets incredibly hot when parked outside for even a few minutes.
So much so that it can overtake the AC system's ability to cool the car during the hottest days.
Has anyone modified this area (Placing material between the cloth roof and this metal section perhaps) in an effort to mitigate this issue?

Re: Solution for metal roof section getting hot?
Do you ever park your car outside during the day when shopping, dining, etc ?
It’s hard to believe the large black metal section of the top that’s right above your head wouldn’t be getting hot in that situation.
i did have my top replaced by a dealer right after the car was purchased due to a minor issue (It was under extended warranty)
So perhaps there’s some insulation between the soft top and that metal piece which was not installed?
Mine gets instantly hot when in the sun.
