Just get goggles and a tarp for when it rains.
I used Dynamat sound deadening and heat shield material for some portions of the engine compartment and under the bonnet to reduce heat. Cheaper copies of this stuff can be found at JC Whitney. Apply it to the underside of the body and footwells and as much as you can on the bulkhead with the aluminum side facing the heat source.

The warm weather has be looking at my rover in a whole new light. After a
cold winter (I got the Series III in October) I thought the inside was cold.
After a hot day and driving I cant believe how much heat is coming in from
the front and bottom of the footwells! Any ideas on just how to keep this
heat out? The carpets are aftermarket (or should I say 'After office' as they
look like someones office rubber mat cut to fit sloppily) but I didnt think
just laying down new carpets would do it. (or would it?) I DID apply a new
heat sheild on the exhaust manifold and change to a summer thermostat.
Now for the other biggie - anyone have some leads on a good used soft top?
I'd love to take the top off for the summer but the occasional downpour and
the fact that the Rover is my only transportation has me thinking I'd better
get SOME way to drive if it starts to rain.
Thanks All!
