Heat taking a toll on interior
 
Has anyone had their C5 door panels recovered in leather or vinyl or know if it's available?

This florida heat is really taking a toll on my DD's interior. Last year I had to replace all of my radio knobs, they cracked. Then bought a Lloyds rear carpet to cover my faded hatch carpet and it's fading now. The wire to my rear defroster fell apart. Now my door panels have the vinyl delaminating.

I've started this year to use a windshield sun screen and modified a Levolor retractable sun blind to cover my hatch window. Better late than never but the heat :mad:

Tried using a sun reflective car cover?

Have tint on your car? Ive got my windows done hatch/sides in limo and the whole windshield is done in 50%. Cuts down on UV beating a lot.

You can also get clear tint done that blocks a lot of UV beatings as well.

Do you park it outside with the windows up all the time or in a garage.
