it didn't work that way for me. if it is hot enough to open the windshield, you will find it RAISES the temperature in the cab by 40 degrees rather than lowering it.

took our Coupe out for a test drive in the Florida summer heat one day while the hood was off, it was so hot I had to close the windshield.....
