ABSTRACT:
A roller shade for use in vehicles having a T-top roof with a pair of removable sections separated by a central T-bar may be factory installed on the vehicle or retrofitted by a consumer. The roller shade includes an elongated cylindrical housing which receives a spring loaded shade roller. A pair of guide track assemblies extend from opposite ends of the cylindrical housing and are provided with spring loaded detents for engagement with mounting apertures for the removable roof sections. A clamping assembly extends from a back portion of the cylindrical housing for engagement with a channel formed in the vehicle roof T-bar. The shade is preferably formed from a tinted plastic material and is provided with a pair of rollers received in the parallel guide tracks. A key lock mechanism allows the shade to be secured in a closed position. In a second embodiment, a pair of overlying sunshades are provided for allowing the amount of sunlight entering the vehicle sunroof to be regulated by utilizing one or both of the shades.
