I prefer the lighter colors for my Georgia commuting for that reason.

Plus the light colors highlight the lines and trim of the FB nicely



I have the glass roof on my current DD, the Silver One. I don't feel it's any hotter than the metal roof, but that may be because I like the glass roof better.
What really helps is that heat sink area on the hood Draws all the heat away from the passenger compartment, neat idea

R12 on ebay?? wow So much for the certs your suppose to have to purchase it.

Freeze 12 is being discontinued?? **** missed that memo Just recieved 2400 cans of the 12oz



Guys I am not here to sell anything and I take most on here have heard their fair share of snake oils and magic motions but look into a lubricant "Ice32" many of the big rebuilders are installing it at the factory if that tells you anything. I've also seen a a retail parts outfits little a/c related display that a couple of the lubricants claimed to have of this product added to it, really

My personal experience was ...

I had my wifes DD at the time at work (what a pos but sometimes we do things we are not proud of) anyway there was a salesmen working with some of our outside people and talking up this product years ago. he came to me with the blah blah blah I was like nice to meet you, you can spare your breath I've heard all the stories over the years and I'm *!@)(!@ busy. So a few hours later he comes back to me with an offer if I let him put this product in my wifes vehicle and it did not lower the vent temps and quiet the system that his company was prepared to pay a shop of my choice to evacuate my system and re charge with new lubricant

So I told him (cause I'm an *** sometimes) that I'd kick his *** then his company would fix the wifes pos!!

son of a bald bitch it took a couple of minutes and the vent temps dropped 9 degree's and the compressor noise/rattle was gone. Not one problem with the a/c and I sold the dayum mini van several months later

MD Highly reflective

I have used a highly reflective one (shinny like alum. foil) for years. Works great.

the foil type as close to the window as you can get and the smallest one you can get.

I am using my SA with a'c non op, car is facing due west during the afternoon in the Vegas sun and actually since I have been parking it with the foil towards the sun the car hasn't been an inferno to get into making the drive much better

Now I can't actually say how much the Vinyl top is helping my situation lol

I was just repeating what their website says. I think they are fazing it out for the ES12a.

That sounds interesting. It appears that Walmart, Advance, Autozone, O'Reillys and Amazon carry it. $27. Do you know if the injector comes with the bottle or do you have to purchase it separately.

lol I was second guessing myself I get so much product related email in the ton of work emails I get sometimes you miss one

Last I know of the tool and product were sold separately. Kind of like oil and a funnel, sorry best I could come up with quick lol

I dare mention your CARQUEST locations should have in stock as well
