In the summer the big canopy of the Europa really works as a greenhouse.  Until now we have used sunshades purchased at Target and intended to reduce the heat in a car but they are not a convenient size or shape and the suction cups don't work well.  At Rough River Troy & Donna Maynor had Aero Shield sun shades fitted to their Europa.  We purchased a pair prior to our recent trip to Arizona.   Boy are they great!  They provide good shade, the suction cups work well and are easy to release and the size is big enough to reduce the heat but small enough that we could position the shade where it was most effective, even on the front windscreen to block the sun in our eyes.



We purchased 9" x 16" Aero Shields, Aircraft Spruce Part Number 13-09664.  The ones Troy and Donna have are the same width but longer.

Jim,



I just wanted to thank you for giving details about the sunshades. I have trouble reading the awful LCD displays in bright sunlight, especially the Garmin GPS. And for giving details about the product source.

We often get reports about wonderful mods but no information whatsoever about how we might incorporate them ourselves.

Karl

Hi All, 

Here is a link to the products we're talking about, in addition to Aircraft Spruce. I think the ones we have are 9 or 10 x 22 inches long. I'll check next time at the airport. I am sorry Jim and Heather I didn't tell you sooner but I think you ordered as soon as you got home. The website leaves a lot to be desired as far as pictures. And I didn't know it was called Pilot Armour also. Study closely or call them and tell them what you want. I got the copper colored stuff that you use in flight, not the thick silver stuff you use while you're parked.
