I fly my "coupe year-round here in Northern Arizona. In the hot summer I usually have the windows fully open on take-off, cruise and landing. The nice thing about the tinted sliding windows are that you can use any variation of open/closed you want. Sometimes I fly with just the pilot side down and the passenger side up. Other times I just crack both of them at the top a couple of inches. So....does it get hot in there....well, I don't know because I never have them closed when it's hot!!
