I just found the PERFECT place to store my sunshade
So sunshades are fantastic for keeping the car from overheating in the sun and protects the interior from the damaging UV wear. The biggest problem is they are bulky and there is not a convenient place to store them for regular use. Most people put them in the footwell of the passenger side or the floor or seat in the back to be accessible. But this is no good if you have passengers and it is annoying to have it laying there if you want a clean look. The trunk is not easily accessible for routine use…
But I found it fits perfectly just under the moonroof above the sliding access cover. It can slide back under the headliner as far as needed without restriction since it fits in the area where the glass roof would store when you open it to the air (I would not suggest leaving it up there when opening the glass sunroof to the outside). So you can still use the moonroof normally with the roof shade open while it is up there. And It is super accessible for routine use—simply slide open the cover and retrieve it to put in the windshield.
It has the added benefit of reflecting heat out of the car that enters the glass during normal driving! It’s fantastic.
