Is it effective at protecting the vehicle from extreme heat/sun?

Probably not well suited for that application. I used mine as a dust cover in a dry garage.

It will provide partial sun protection but I would recommend a thicker material if fading is an issue. Light color helps with heat reflection

No. Not at all. I had mine outside in an average if 70 degree heat and the cover rotted right off my car. I contacted the company and although it says it's fine in mild weather they don't recommend it for outside. Apparently this happens a lot as the customer service person knew exactly what I was talking about. Terrible product.

Don't even bother! I had one for 3 weeks in the Los Angeles, Santa Monica Mountains, and it DISINTEGRATED!! in 3 weeks!! This product is worthless for outdoor use in the sun.

I brought for preventing tree debris falling on the car, not sure about 100 degrees sun blocking.

We live in El Paso, TX and it gets over 100 degrees in the summer. The material did get hot, especially if the sun was directly on it. It wasn't extremely hot to the touch, but it was very warm. We kept a white towel in the car to cover the seat up when we were not in the car, and also would put ice packs on the seat under the towel to keep it cool, which helped tremendously.

To be fair engine compartment may be warm, but it should be fine.like insulation. You can layer it. Best to let the sun warm it. I use it on my trunk lid for my speakers. ..use a thick millimeter

This is the best I can answer your question. We got it to use in a camp ground to protect the car from dust, oak fog and cotton wood debris. It does the job and we consider it waterproof too. It was in a bevy rain Saturday night . There were a few drops laying of top of the cover but nothing wet underneath. And, yes, we feel that it also protects from the sun. Hope this helps you.

The solar panel works well but only with direct exposure. You would have to clean the panel every so often to remove accumulated dust. Once installed, I would create a moisture barrier from your local hardware store since the rubber is not a waterproof fit. Although it will ventilate it just doesn't have the capacity to keep a med-suv car cool in the summer heat.

Well it doesn't work well at all IMO but I doubt it's any worse with a UV windshield. Besides... Aren't all windshields UV protected?

I think so Betty. It is recommended by 3M for vinyl protection on automobiles. A nice product and easy to apply. ---Ted---

I am not sure but it does a sufficient job of blocking sun at both am and pm drive. Extra protection with the sliding guard that gives double broke tin. This is my second one and I've not found another brand that works for me. Hope this helps!

The case is mostly aluminum, the screen is glass, the edges are plastic and the back has a plastic center. This is the most "metalic" a GPS I've ever had, so I suspect that it is going to be quite heat resistant. I always put my GPS in a dark hidden place, so even when the cabin of the car gets hot in the sun, the device is never I. Direct sunlight when not in use.

Yes. I live in hot, wet, and humid florida and it has stayed on my car for a year plus. Great investment for any business.

Yes, I noticed a significant decrease in heat and road noise. I used a single layer and am very happy with the results.

I would say it will protect your vette from UV rays. Mine is stored in a garage but the cover will shield the car from the UV rays..

I have this shade, and it fits near-perfect in my 2013 Rav4 Limited AWD. I like it - it works great at keeping the interior cool, even on very warm days.

It does a good job of keeping the car cooler. Nothing will prevent heat from getting in. I have a white car, live in Florida, and the interior still gets warm even with heavy window tinting and the heat shield. Guess it depends on where you live. I am happy with the design.

It is a very thin piece of cloth so I do not think it would help much with sun. It is not reflective and might actually absorb sun.

I originally wanted to use this product on top of the glass areas of my car to prevent the hot sun from heating up my car when it was parked. It worked very well. So it should work for your needs. The material is very thin, so you would need to determine a good method of attaching it to your fridge, eg tape.
