How can you keep the top shade on your mini cooper sunroof closed?

I had difficulties in dealing with the mesh screen and keeping the sun out, when that didn't do the job. I would highly recommend that you look into a product called Zippeeshade, which is a sunroof shade made specifically for the mini cooper as well as clubman and countryman. My wife and I both have one in our minis and they work fantastic. Here is a link, http://zippeeshade.com, hopefully this helps.
