I skipped the glass roof (it's really acrylic plastic) or those very reasons. My '02 had the transparent top and it was blistering hot inside whenever it was parked for 5 minutes in the sun. The a/c also had to work a lot harder to keep cool. I have glass tops in my '74 with the same issue.

The top is indeed blue, but from the outside looks gloss black. I looked at one just last night. It only looks blue from the inside looking out.
