Would it work in the car if your windows are the UV blocking type (aren’t they all now?)?

Every day when I drop my kid off at nursery, I go past a BMW estate with one of these suckered on the inside of the windscreen. Up until now I always assumed the car was some rapid response vehicle and it was an LED screen or it lit up and flashed or displayed a message, now I've seen the solar panel it seems so obvious that I feel very silly.

Thanks, I see - it's massive. I need to put it in the car - this will probably fit fine but I'll measure it up.
I've always wanted a 993 and I think the 996 is just too delicate and expensive as a left-outside runabout and not special enough to be a keeper. It drives fine but the general quality of the thing is pretty poor, I guess it's getting on. I got a tip because I figured a manual would be annoying in traffic (plus my converted NZ license only allows me to drive an auto, haven't got round to getting that sorted). That was the biggest mistake, the tip doesn't suit me, I've enjoyed driving some modern autos but in a sportscar it's just not a compromise I can live with.
Having owned one now I think I enjoyed my Audi S2 more, and an old Audi is doesn't elicit the same (unwanted) reaction when people find out you drive a Porsche. I'd happily pour all my money into the old S2 but I'm just not attached to the porker. I don't really care how fast a car is so maybe now the 993 is coming down in price it could be worth a shot.

I fitted a 20W solar panel to the rood of my garage, but you could prop the panel on the dash or use suckers to attach it to the sunroof. This is the one I got (includes battery charger): https://www.kuranda.co.uk/20w-solar-panel-sfp020ma-solar-technology
According to the chap at Kuranda it'll happily keep two car batteries topped up even in winter sun.
What are you not liking about your 996?
