Would you recommend Sun Shields/HeatShields over a cover if I am hangared and only use covers for day and cross-country trips?
We would only recommend using sun shields or “HeatShields” for temporary use during day trips or for a couple of hours at a time. Over time, the silver reflective surface can cause damage to your Plexiglas windscreen and laminated windshields as it traps heat in between your glass and the HeatShield. Additionally, more often times than not, the HeatShields are more difficult to install than an exterior cover. Imagine having to crawl around a cramped cabin of a Cessna 182 or a Piper PA-28 to install a HeatShield set in every window instead of installing a cover over the exterior of your plane.
