It's not elegant, but I use a light tarp... the kind you find at Wal-Mart or
Home Depot for around $8.  I just fling it over the top and tie it down to
door handles, tow loops, or whatever is handy.  This plus a silver
windshield insert seems to do the job for me.  And it also gets hot here in
(sometimes) sunny Kansas.
