Default SunShade vs Heat Reduction

I just returned a IntroTeck ($40) to AutoAnything because it was still 114+ inside the car. It was 114 with no sunshade. So, Austonian , please tell me how Covercraft does with the heat. Thanks

Hottest it has been inside the car this year is 103.

I usually park my car wherever the shade is in the early afternoon and move it again after 4 or 5 to the east side of our building.

Default Austonian?

That's good info. Are you using the car's thermometer or do you have a seperate one for the inside? A sunshade that will keep th inside temp down to 103 is pretty good. Please let me know about the thermometer.

I'm from Chicago so there is nothing I enjoy more than getting into a car that has been baking in the sun all day. Especially those first warm days in Spring. If you endured our winters I'm sure you would understand that I don't even have a concept what a sunshade is. I prefer sweating to shivering. I hardly ever even run the A/C. I'm like a squirrel, but instead of saving nuts for the winter, I try to absorb as much heat as possible.
