Too bad. Order placed! I will only use it when camping, anyway.
Jonce is right, you have to stop the light before it gets into the car for
maximum effect. But I have found that something is better than nothing when
you really need it, and the convenience of having the shade there all the
time, and not having to get out of the car to put it on, and not having to
put it away wet or deal with it in high winds, is something.
I would like to have both kinds, actually.
