Hello from Independence, KY! We just went and picked up a new 2020 P5 from M and E Honda in Bedford, Indiana. M and E is a great place and I recommend that anyone in the area give them a shot. After months of research it was clear that this machine was the one that met my needs, and so far I am absolutely loving it. This little P5 is meeting or exceeding all of my expectations. Looking forward to learning from all of you in this forum!

Hopefully I can contribute to the knowledge base as well. Here is my first attempt:
Was looking through my things for something that I could use for some shade, as I had not yet purchased a roof of any kind (bought the unit bare bones stock). I came across this sunshade that I had purchased for my Wrangler a couple years back and decided to try it on the P5.
After some adjustment of the ball bungees it fits pretty perfectly on the P5, with just an inch or two of overhang on the roll bars above and behind the seats (i actually like the overhang because it provides extra shade and helps holds my little Bose Mini Soundlink speaker more securely as well). We were very surprised at how well it fit, with the 45 degree corner cuts hugging the contours of the roll bars very nicely. It is a made of a durable material and there is no perceptible wind noise. It doesn't block out 100% of the sun but I would wager its about 75%. If you are looking for a cheap way to get some protection from the sun, I recommend giving one of these a shot! For $40 its hard to beat. I will attach some pictures in the next day or two.

Cheers!
