neil, i have thought about putting such a thing on the outside of the
poptop.  get some of that nasa insulating foam bulley used (or other
similar material) and make a cover for your poptop.  i've seen "plans"
on one site or another.  it would keep the heat in (though not by
reflection) with no more condensation, and perhaps less because the
poptop surface wouldn't be cold.  imagine a big (pink, fleming) hat
over the poptop when it's up, rolled or flatstored when its down and
you're moving.

best,
bill
