It sure is convenient but doesn't look good IMO (especially when not open) and is probably another source of a rattle.

I prefer to take it all off when I start driving.

God forbid an "incident" when it comes loose while driving...

Ok for RV but definitely no no for our lovely IS. You better hope they don't come off during driving.

I bit the bullet and bought the OEM one through the dealership shortly after I bought my IS250. It's black inside and out with tint. The shade and tint combination keeps it very cool (relatively speaking). It's expensive, but one of the best shades made (UVS100) and should last for the life of the car. Just my two cents.

Looks like something that is better for the Drive-In than for sun?
