Just a thought re maintenance
 

I just sold my 2004 Infiniti G35x with leather seats, and the interior appears new. I think one reason is that, though I live in Virginia, I avoided sun/heat damage by ALWAYS putting a front window sunscreen in place when parked, even on cloudy days--never know when the sun will come out and bake your vehicle while you are in the workplace, for example.

For the 370Z, with the big rear window in the coupe, it would make sense to shade that too, but quite a bother. I just lay a sunshade on top of the cargo area cover and it raises and lowers itself when I raise the hatch. It doesn't fill the window, but instead of the sun hitting the black cargo cover and heating it, much of the light radiates right back up through the back window.

Keeps the interior noticeably cooler than simply using the front sun screen alone.

For what it's worth...

i just keep my Z in the garage during the week.

:iagree:

Or live in Michigan where it's 80% cloud cover year around....

That sounds depressing. Onzedge where did you get that sun shade?

It is depressing! it's called S.A.D.

So.. Sad...

I got it from Motorsport. It was a little more than I wanted to pay, but it fits perfectly.

The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts: UV Sunshield, 09-12 370Z

That heat shield looks pretty cool. It looks a lot better than what I have. I have used my for my last two Infiniti's (G35 & G37S) & now my Z.

park the car in the garage at night, park the car in the shade and with a sunshade during the day :tup: surround tint helps too...

What with my wife's perpetual garage sale, I have not gotten an automobile into my garage in about 15 years...

I could post a picture of my garage...
 

That would be nice. I'm wistfully wishing that my garage were not perpetually full of tables and Lenox dishes...

Hi Onzedge,

That's a great sunshade. I'll have to look for one.

Hello, Mr. SailFree. I recommend the sunshade -- go to zcarparts.com and get yourself one.

My Z is comfy in the garage since Sunday. (Crappy Droid pics -- sorry).
