Bill, come see the great one and I will show you what I use.
It is a suction cup sunshade that I got at Pep Boys. It comes
in a small folded up size (with pouch).
The advantage over the Koger is that you can move it to different
locations based upon sun direction and your flight path.

Automotive tint film (the static cling kind) as sold by Wal-Mart has worked well for me. From one roll of the stuff you can cut out numerous small shades which let you and your pax slap them up wherever needed and reposition as the flight progresses. A nice under-$10 solution.

Have you seem those city busses with ads on the entire side of the bus,
even the side windows? You can see though them from the inside, but from
the outside they look almost opaque. I was going to look into getting
some of that material, I guess it's vinyl, in black, maybe 10" wide, and
putting it on the top of the canopy on the inside. It should be
semi-permenant. Thoughts?

Hi Larry,
Some time ago someone posted saying that they had attached some form of dark
cling like material. They described damage to the canopy due to direct
sunlight heating the film and subsequently the canopy. The canopy warped and
sagged if I am remembering correctly.
I decided not to try the above kind of approach based on the report. I had
originally planned on using a similar product that has worked very well for
many years in my pickup.
I have and will use the foldable suction cup type screens.

I've been flying with the Koger sunshade on my slider 9A the past 2-1/2
years here in 'sunny' Arizona and it is a lifesaver. Flew the first year
without it and I now wonder why it took me so long to put one in. Broke one
of the plastic clamps and they sent a new bow gratis. The small sunspots are
nice to cover up the direct sun in the windscreen but I think I'd be well
done with out the sunshade.
