## Abstract

A sun screen is taught that includes a left pillar assembly having a left pillar and a left screen panel and a right pillar assembly having a right pillar and a right screen panel. An outer windshield spans between the left pillar assembly and the right pillar assembly and an inner windshield spans between the left pillar assembly and the right pillar assembly and away from the outer windshield to form a gap. A left handle having a left magnet connects to the left screen panel and a right handle having a right magnet connects to the right screen panel. The right handle selectively deploys the right screen panel towards the center of the inner windshield and the left handle selectively deploy the left screen panel towards the center. When fully deployed the right magnet and the left magnet hold the right handle and the left handle together.
