I agree. I loved the look of them but the practicality in WA is questionable. Out on a drive in 37 deg yesterday was very pleased not to have them.
Youre right of course.
Or a QLD hail storm...
This mirrors my experience perfectly. The feel of the cabin, it just becomes that much more expansive with the safari windows. I actually called my dealer and modified my order after a drive in a Gren with safari windows. I'll probably hack up a way to get a sunshade for filtered light through them for the times with intense sun.
I was surprised at how dark the tent was already. But if you want more the great thing is you can just pop them off and slap another layer on them in about 5min each.
Was in one of those in Brisbane in 1985 and vowed that and the heat was something I didn't want to live with in my future.
Or a thin sheet of polycarbonate, or cut a $10 camping mat, or silvered insulation panel, and a few bits of double sided velcro, or better the smallest 3M wall hanging stuff that comes off without leaving marks…
That's odd. It was 44c in Texas at times and never seen this. Maybe it's some cheapo stuff being used but if the inside of a car in a parking lot can reach 120 degrees for basically months on end during the day and there's no issues I don't see how any overhead tint would. But the grenadier comes with tinted glass, at least the one I drove, and at high noon on a sunny day it was a non-event.
Safari in QLD - either too hot and they do not help, too dusty, too smokey from fires and then to top it off they let in all the other vehicles particulates from old fuel guzzlers. Or it rains or hails and then still no use! Full sized roof rack is the pay off!This is why most Aussies don't want safari roofs. This is 2 weeks before summer officially starts.
<Storms carrying the risk of heavy rain, large hail and damaging winds are set to hit much of northern and eastern Australia this week while Western Australia bakes under a potential record-breaking November heatwave.>
Luckily I live beneath Australia

When I was in Bris in '96 for a 2 week course in December I walked 1.5km each morning at 7.30 to the hospital/med school. We spent the mornings studying difficult cases in a room with no aircon. Gross.
You are floating in a boat south of Tassie or do you mean you live below{I am not saying under]the rarefied cultured mainland?
My series II has no roof but a trampoline-type shade cover for normal days and you don't head out if the BOM is telling of storms...yes we have a canvas cover just in case we're caught out...no safari windows for me but they look great
