For my shower overhead skylight I used a free sample of the "clear" (well 15% = almost clear) Ceramic Window tint. You can remove the inner cover and place on top. install on top like your doing a window then replace.
It eliminated most of the heat plus it leaves the bathroom nice and bright and its one less thing you have to do in order to keep the heat out.
As for the cockpit bubbles. I cut one piece for the front windsheild then lower the blind. Its holds it pretty good overall but its not flat and tight like the dinning/kitchen/bedroom windows are since you dont have a frame to tuck it in (and its too large and heavy). I might use some HD velcro down the road.
The side cockpit windows tuck in the top and the front edges (mostly under the curtain valance) but the lower part wants to drop. I thought about using HD velcro on the lower rear corner to hold but I have not yet. If you rotate both captains chairs and put small pillow behind them it will hold the bubbles in place.

I use the foil when in storage: for the front window I just drop the shade and lean the foil up against it.
For the side windows I cut them close enough that they tuck under the bunk and the curtains at the rear hold them in place.
