Car roof reflector
A reflector attached to the roof of a car reflects much of the heat away | |
Much of the heat cars gain in the summer
comes through the roof. An insulated
reflector attached with magnets (or even
glue) to the roof of a car reflects most of
the heat away, and the insulation reduces
the heat conducted through the roof.

I'd bet more heat comes in through the windows than the roof. |

Actually I just got my car painted
yellow, after having it black for 2 years
and the temp difference is very
noticeable. But I also have tinted
windows, but so would anyone who
lives in the south and does not want a
150° car in the summer. |

Unlike the carbrella, my device would
stay on the car even while being driven. |

ups trucks employ such a panel, it's painted white. (+) |

Hmm... "Carberella". Now there's a pun just waiting to happen. |
