I have looked high and low for an interior, upper windshield heat screen/shield, to no avail. On my model X, I got one of those black mesh screens with the spring metal perimeter, that fit in just the TOP of the windshield-it make all the difference with the heat blasting me through it's large, over the head windshield. However, for the Cybertruck, I have been unable to find one-ANYONE KNOW OF ONE? I thought about just installing darker tint on the upper portion, OR just tinting the windshield (likely future outcome) but simply popping in a "Spring screen" would be so easy...

No, I'm talking about something similar to the sunroof shade sold by tesla-spring steel perimeter with cloth mesh to filter sun. The picture is of a Model X version of what I'm looking for-that thing was the single best add-on I put on that car.

I had my tint guy put limo tint there. Works perfect to reduce glare and heat.

Here is from the outside. Kinda hard to see, but I think it looks great. Used 5% Xpel Prime Plus.

I think it looks perfect-I'll do the same...or similar! I have some 50% VLT ceramic film that I could install in about 10min each side! It wont be that dark but it will block a LOT of the IR heat I get, which is the main problem sitting in the front seats with the sun blazing down!

You are welcome. I did it more for the sun coming in between the sunshades and the sheer amount of light coming in through the huge window. But it does really reduce the heat also. I have a full sunshade that I can put in when I park, but a rarely use it because it is pain to put in. I'll only use it if I leave my truck at an airport or similar for more than a day in the sun.
