Your sunscreen looks like its made from a fabric material.
Now what happens to your tee shirts in the dryer, it shrinks right ?
Just a thought !

It could be the summer heat. Black interior of a car is worse yet.

I spent 80 bucks on this thing too, damn! I'm having my tint guy do the clear UV film on my windshied next. Hope that helps keep it cooler.

Hmm, mine has not shrunk. I suspect it is more a matter of where you fit it in the front and tilt it back. You are more likely sticking it in closer to the bottom of the window than when you started.
