I bought a roll of Black Magic Insta-Cling
window film for the ceiling of the canopy of the Legacy. I think I may
have found it at AutoZone? The roll is 26 inches X 78 inches, so I just
cut out what ever size or shape I want and stick it wherever I want it. It
comes in two tints, 5% visible light transmission, and 20 % visible light
transmission. I bought the 5% because it is on the ceiling, not in any of
my line of sight. It has been up for about 6 months now with no trouble.
Works great.

Gang,
Unless it's a frame-less film I would be leery of any shade intended to
adhere to the canopy with static cling. The fold-up type have a flexible frame
that might be unwilling to shape to the curves of the canopy, especially for
the larger sizes. If that happens you might not get enough contact between the
material and the window to promote adherence. Even with suction cups, a frame
that isn't flexible enough to conform to the canopy shape will probably be
unacceptable.
I'd stick (ha!) with the film type, or get several of the smaller fold
up style with suction cup attachments.
