Good question, I didn't even know they existed till I read this post. I wish I would have had some at the beginning of the summer.

I leave them in for those hot summer days, really makes a difference! but now its cooled off, so they just stay in the car.


I have an extra pair in the garage if anyone wants to make an offer.

Bought my TA new and have never had them in. Hauled them around in the t-top holder area for the first couple of months and have stored them in the garage for the past 5 1/2 years.

You can get a sunburn through the glass. I usually keep mine off during the winter.

A couple of years ago me and my dad swapped cars, I borrowed his truck because I was moving. Called me up and and said his bald head was boiling This was in October, I keep the shades in when its really hot.

They came with the car, never even touched 'em, they just sorta sit in the trunk, every once and awhile, when my tops are off and the wind is right they'll blow up against my rear window, I dunno why I haven't taken them out....

Summer temperatures in south texas make me keep them on! During the spring semester, I keep them off to enjoy the skies.

The poll is at 50/50, that's odd.

Its not the sun burn reason i keep them on most of the time. Its that in the heat and the sun beating down around here will make the interior a f*cking oven. If one day i leave them off and another i put them on, and let the car sit for a whole day outside, you will notice a huge difference.
