Default Sun shades for RV-9A? And hinges to tip up a slider?

Recommendations and comments on inside the canopy sun screens? This is for Georgia where it does get toasty...

Also, somebody makes slider canopy fittings so that you can raise the back end for easier baggage loading. Thoughts and comments?

Thanks!

Ed

Seems like everyone that has either recommends them. Plenty of threads on VAF about them both.

Default 15 bucks works great

I use this in the summer.
Black Magic, Insta Cling, Jumbo 5%

Simple, cheap, reusable, low profile more headroon.

It will make the plexiglass warm when parked which I choose to worry about. I do leave the canopy cracked a bit when parking in the sun, and I use a canopy cover over that if parking for a long time. But so far no damage.
