I’m thinking about getting a shade for roof window and wondering if anyone has had good experience with one
Any suggestions on which brand is best
My truck gets to 117* on a hot sunny day ever here in PNW

We have the grey color made by BestEVMods in our R1S. I'd say the fit is about 98% perfect in terms of covering all the corners and edges.

Did you notice a considerable decrease in cabin temperature during hot sunny days?
I don’t garage my truck

We are in San Diego parked in partial shaded area on driveway. Guest-imating a bit - the worst temp is low 100s before, to low to mid 80s now. I'd recommend using windshield shade too if not already.

This one will probably work fine too if you are good with black.

Roof shade and windshield shade absolutely make a massive difference. On longer trips when AC and wind cools down the roof glass, less so.

I recently installed a Vion sun roof shade on my R1T. Super easy to install or remove. I‘ve had it about a month and I can tell you, it definitely keeps the truck significantly cooler. Having said that, all bets are off if the sun is shining directly into the windshield. The trick is, if possible, align the vehicle properly, relative to the sun - face it west in the AM and east in the PM 🙂 I definitely don’t miss not having that big window on top of my truck. Wish I could have ordered it without that darn sun roof.
