• Rotating SunShade
  • No need to take down your sunshade with the Rotating Sunshade. Shown on the Prisma Arch, the canvas remains up when the arch is folded down to lower positions, and the sunshade has a rigid frame for tight canvas fit and articulates as the arch is folded down, remaining flat. Gas assist cylinder or full electric actuation options make it easily operable for one person.
