10/02/2002 - Moon Roof Shade - By: Peter Bowers
For those of you who drive a Z3 Coupe, this is for you. I'm not sure if all Z3 Coupes are the same, but mine is a 1999 with the flip-up glass moon roof without a sliding interior cover. BMW did a noteworthy job of heavily tinting the glass panel that is a large portion of the roof. However, when the sun is high in the sky on a clear day, you get baked on even the shortest drives.
