How do I protect the top of the rear seat from sun?

First off, anyone have trouble yet with the sun killing the cloth or leather on the top of the rear seatbacks? If your car's out in the sun a lot, I suspect it's only a matter of time before these areas crack and split.

I see that some people just throw a towel over the area and leave it at that. However, I'd like to try something more attractive. Has anyone found something that looks good to cover this area? Does anyone make a product to do this?

Thanks.

Yeah, but what about visibility?

Doesn't the tint make is more difficult to see through the window? Especially at night?

Yes, but you dont want to see objects at night through the rear glass, you want to see headlights. Don't worry about it.

I've had Llumar 20% titanium tint on the rear window for seven years now and there is virtually no damage to the beige leather, speakers/housing or deck material. No problems seeing what I need to see at night.

I live in Central Florida and the car sits in the sun all day, unfortunately.
