The answer is yes, but it is more effective wrapped around you loosely, more like a tent than a blanket.
(Nice time to be wishing you had stuffed that old snow suit, warm booties, a pair of mitts and that polyester toque in a bag in the trunk. A couple of those candy bars out of the glove box would sure taste good now too, if the kids left you any...)
Cardboard is an effective insulation too. I use it to line the bottom of the trunk in my car anyhow. (It keeps the carpet cleaner)
A couple of layers under you and the rest in the window, it makes a difference.
Keep an ear out for the snow plow. They have been known to hit cars that are stuck in snowdrifts.

Or bury them deeper if the car is alongside of the road. Happened to one of our patrol cars once, we didn't get the car (luckily unoccupied) back for a week...

Must be something peculiar to this board then. The tags and URL are correct.

Edit - I'm guessing it must have something to do with using PHP to drive your URL resource. Perhaps since there is no .jpg (or whatnot) to end your URL the board software is confused. While that will work on some board software, it apparently doesn't work on this one. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

The Reflectix is very useful stuff. I have wondered occasionally if it could be cut to fit inside the car doors without binding anything. There's no insulation in the doors.

I once had a Ford van that I bought from a guy who insulated it with fiberglass and paneling (very nice job) for his post-grad studies in Guatamala. It was very comfy for camping, hot or cold.

I also had a Dodge Ram window van (never again!). I used Reflectix for the windows, and it was still cold. I guess I should have bought a case of hot glue sticks and lined the entire rig with the stuff.

Thanks for the tips, guys.

That is going to wind up being a difficult job.

I use rolls of the "stick on" type magnets to attach to the metal parts of the vehicle so no permanent placement- I just leave the cover on the adhesive side.

I used that in My Element for camping with a mosquito net over the moonroof and back hatch, held on by the magnets all around. When I gave away my Element, I sent that along with it, so no feedback on long term durability.

For the space blanket scenario, wouldn't it reflect the heat away? Maybe place it at an angle to reflect the sunlight in and concentrate it?
