Don't buy an external one, it wont last 5 minutes with the wipers on.

I disagree, mine is external and the ones of done for lots of other people all have been and not had a single problem. All stay stuck and dont cause any problems whatsoever.

Any good window tinting place should be able to sort you out with a sunstrip. You can have it exact how you want shade and size.

Hope this helps

Id like a sunstrip but im not sure if it will affect the tracker arieal which is stuck to my windscreen

And btw any cheap external strip would do, i have had loads on past cars over the years, and i allways buy the cheapest 1s i can get, i have never yet had 1 come off, well untill its MOT time, oh and the odd occasion when i had my 12" strip on my fiesta, but thats another story lol

On my hillclimb racer/road car i had to remove the sun visors because of the roll cage fitment across the inside of the screen.

I installed a 'limo black' 12'' internal tint and a Halfords solid black exterior strip to shade the sun.
Works a treat in road driving.

MoT man fine about it. That has been the case for 3 years now.


ThePower Station logo is simply on top of the external one.
