Go to Wal-Mart and buy one of those sun shields that you put in the front window. Buy the type that has two collapsible circles/ovals that fold and un-fold. You can store it under your seat when not in use. They sell about 3-4 different sizes. Just use the size chart on the back panel. I think it is the "small" sized one. Cost <$10.00.
If you can, park with the front of the car into the sun, and with your shades in, the interior will stay shaded.

At first I thought you meant sun protection for yourself. When I lived in Southern California, Thousand Oaks, I learned real fast to use sunblock. As for the Boxster, besides the UV protection already mentioned, if you plan on leaving it out sitting in the sun for extended periods of time why don't you go down to your local Porsche dealer and buy a custom car cover?

Chill, i live in Los Angeles/Newport California near the beach. My boxster is 7 years old and it still looks clean : ) relax a little sun will be ok. I don't think the designers and painters of the car would be that dumb

Thanks, all. It's reassuring to hear from those who live in that climate that it's not such a big deal. It will only be for a few days. I'm going to go for a couple of the less expensive options and not worry my pretty little sunburned face about it anymore.

Anyone got any fresh links?

Sorry, I don't. I don't see his covers on e-Bay any longer either. Strange.

It won't be an issue for just 1 trip.
+1 on the 303 Aerospace stuff, though. I put in on the whole interior occasionally instead of using stuff like armor-all and my red interior still looks like new after a few years of a lot of top-down California existence.
