Way back when - high school days - a couple of uwere running around in
a mil surplus Jeep with a home made metal half top. It needed
painting pretty badly so when the highway department left a 5-gallon
can of reflective International Orange out one night - well, you can
see the rest coming. I'll bet we made more than a few new members for
AA (not to mention UFO reports). Picture that sucker driving along
the top of a hill on a dark night when you headlights pick it up.
Looked like it was floating and you could see it for miles. Funny
thing about it, I don't remember ever noticing any glare from the
inside - but at that age I was probably oblivious to everything except
the immediate needs...

I had a Kayline on my '74 Bronco and wasn't all that impressed with it.
Bestop makes a much more well thought out design and uses better materials.
