Don't know if you saw the chart below, it pretty much tells the radiant heat reflecting story.

The radiant heat transfer is dependent on the temperature difference and I think emissivity, reflectance and transparency. If you could somehow use radiant barrier on the roof, I speculate it woulId be an order of magnitude more effective. Maybe I'll test this out in my with the shield inside vs outside the windshield. I wonder why roof materials are usually black.
