Something like this: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pspages/sunguardbig.php?clickkey=18189
Slap it on, peel it off, move it around. Can usually find something similar at your local Walmart aircraft dept. or RV superstore (Camping World) and usually cheaper.

I started with cling film which worked fine for one season, then the pilot's side decided to loose it's cling and I had to remove it. I replaced with an inexpensive WalMart retractable shade which is OK for the moment.

Paul, I thought you had the one with Dora the Explorer on it...?
I used cling film (home depot) but put it on before mounting the canopy so the edges are captured. No complaints after 4 years though I think the visibility is not as good has high quality more permanent films.

Go to your local auto supply parts store (Advance Auto) or (Pep Boys) and pick up a pair of retractable sun shades. they have suction cups and each fits perfectly overhead. They're normally under $10 each. They're perforated enough to where you can see through them while giving lots of shade.
