DIY: Installed insulation sheets for my Skoda Kodiaq panoramic sunroof

I found a space of about 15 to 20 mm between inner fabric & outer glass - decided to put some light material in between.

Panoramic Sunroofs - A Bane in Hot Sun:

In peak summers, with sun shining at its full strength & ambient temperatures crossing 40°C, I felt the car getting cooked up in direct sunlight routinely.

Hence, treated the sunroof to keep unnecessary sun radiations out of the cabin.

I found a space of about 15 to 20 mm between inner fabric & outer glass - decided to put some light material in between.

What stuff can be light enough to rest on fabric with ease & be the among best heat insulators? - Old dear Thermocol.

Went to the stationary, got three sheets of 10 mm thickness.

Fabricated into rear & front parts - because at the glass junction, there is almost no gap / space to fit in anything.

Secured the borders with tape to prevent Thermocol crumbs falling off here & there - they are highly statically chargeable - difficult to remove once stuck up charged.

In 15 minutes, sunroof insulation was complete.

Will take them off once monsoons hit.

Temperatures are cooler by 2-4°C & AC more chilling

Also, car cabin doesn't cooks up as much when parked in sun.

Rear passengers are happier than the driver!
