I just closed on a 172 and it will have to be tied down here in SW Idaho. I'd like to keep it cool inside and I'll use reflective window shades when its parked, but does anyone use a solar exhaust fan to circulate air or is that a trivial pursuit? As a kid, my grandpa was fond of the JC Whitney catalog and ordered all kinds of questionable doodads from there, and one of them was a solar exhaust fan that seemed to work. If you walked past the car window while it was running, hotter than ambient-feeling air came out of the fan.
I also got to thinking about the reflective shades inside the window...would that reflect heat back onto the plastic windows and make the plastic hotter than if there were no shade in place? I dont want to roast my "glass" to save the upholstery.
