Subject:      GoWesty windshield retractable shade--good product after all
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Sorry, those of you who poo-pooed Felder Industries' investment in the
GoWesty retractible sunscreen a year ago. After getting my new windshield
installed I couldn't wait to install my year old sunscreen I bought on
sale.

Contrary to the theoreticians who said that it wouldn't do any good inside
the glass, but had to be outside to reduce heat, this thing ROCKS. I don't
know where you live, but where I live, the sun coming in like a military
laser heats the interior to an uncomfortable state, even with all windows
and hatches open. It isn't a greenhouse with all hatches open. It gets hot
because the sun reaches the interior. Period.

Today, for the first time, parked in the sun my interior temps were a
couple of degrees lower than the outside temps.

Wish I had bought this years ago. It has a very cool retractor on each side
that bring the folding silver curtains back to the edges of the windshield
when not in use. To use, it, grab the two tabs and bring them together in
the center behind the mirror and the velcro makes the seal. Cool in every
sense of the word.
