I also live in AZ with a T-top car. I tinted the panels with 5% metallic film and that helped some, but since we live directly adjacent to the sun, I needed more. I could not find any factory shades, and since my first T bar had them and they were always falling and rattling, I decided to make my own. I used a china marker to mark the glass while the panel was in the car. I cut some cardboard about 3/4" larger than the outine from the glass. I test fitted and trimmed the cardboard as neccessary to fit over the opening, but within the weatherstripping. Once I had trimmed the cardboard to the right size, I used it as a template to mark and cut 1/4" masonite the same size. 3M spray adhesive and mousefur on the interior side and foil-backed thin insulation on the other. I spent about $35 to make my set, and they look and work very well.
