Add rear sun-shades. It also gives the manual shades on the rear doors. Works great, specially if you have kids. Besides, in sunny FL, you will find a use for it.
i like the rear sun shade just for the fact -- that when trucks are tailgating at night (and all i can see is headlights)
i can block the direct light! (happens all the time in los angeles, since we are all waiting on traffic)

I never would have thought of this! But it's such a blindingly obvious use of the rear sunshade... (pun intended) Thanks!

Good point, that is one of the best uses of the shades, whether a truck is tailgating or just sitting at a red light. My rear shade stays up, unless it is dark and I am backing out and can't see well enough. Then it goes back up. Ironically, even on a sunny day, my kids usually lower the side shades when they are back there, since I usually drive with them up. My main use of them is for privacy, not sun.
