Notice my name is used. I totally agree one or two holes in front of compass position on top of a glider cover over instrument panel and add some aluminium gauze will HUGELY reduce the temperatures instruments cop.
Heat is the enemy of any electronic instrument plus slick magneto plus coil on 2 stroke rotax etc plus permanent magnet regulator as in most pop up engine motorgliders. You are mad (in Australia) if you do not make those holes in cover over instruments.
