cover in cases like this (going to the fair all day, going to AZ Mills =

  Living here in sunny Phoenix and approaching the summer I'm wondering =
what are some of the better options for covering my 2008? What I'm =
looking for is something simply and hopefully not too expensive but =
effective. Summers here are often in the 100's and 110's! I'm looking to =
keep the inside of the car cool primarily.

  As I see it there are about 3 options. First is the windshield covers =
- we've all seen them - you put them up when you are leaving the car and =
they are propped up by the sun visors usually. Cheap and easy to do I =
think I should get one of these no matter what for those quick trips to =
say the grocery store when the other options seem a bit much...

  The second kind I've seen seem to be compromise between the windshield =
screens and the full car cover in that they attempt to only cover the =
windshield, roof, back window and side windows. Seem like a good =
compromise in that they would stop the interior from heating up by the =
sun shinning through the side or read windows. Additionally I have a =
transparent top. Seems like this solution would keep the interior =
cooler. Cons: It's probably a little more time consuming/cumbersome to =
put on.

  Full car cover. While these obviously cover the most and probably =
protect the most, I can't picture stopping at a grocery store, for =
instance, and going through the bother of pulling out and putting on one =
of these. Then again, it'd be good to get one of those to put on when I =
park my car for the full day while at work.

  I just don't want to have to buy all of them!

  Can anybody share their experiences with these types of car covers...
