How to protect your car interior from sunburn

The burning summer sun only draws attention to the problem of discoloration of plastic and upholstery due to fading. In fact, this process goes on both in summer and in winter - always when the car is under bright daylight.

To prevent the interior from fading, ideally you should always park your car in the shade to avoid exposure to direct sunlight. But this option is not available to anyone and most drivers have to resort to various technical tricks.

The first thing that can be named among them is an individual tent. It is pulled over the entire car while it is parked, like a sock. It protects not only the interior but also the paintwork from the sun. The trouble is that you have to constantly carry the tent cloth with you, and not in every trunk there is enough free space for it. Yes, and pulling it off and pulling it off is still a job, not every fragile woman can handle it.

Therefore, we move on to less laborious methods. Our main goal in protecting the interior from burnout is to keep the direct rays of the Sun out. That is, somehow "caulk" the side windows, as well as the front and rear windows.

We act radically with the windows of the rear doors and the rear glass: we tint “tightly” - we cover with almost the darkest film, with a minimum percentage of light transmission. Moreover, traffic rules have nothing against it. With windshield and front side windows, such a trick will not work.

As for the “frontal”, a special flexible reflector can be installed under it for the duration of the parking lot. These are sold in many retail outlets that sell auto accessories.

It is primarily designed to protect against interior heating, but also protects it from burnout along the way. If you don’t want to carry it with you in a folded form, instead of it on the steering wheel, the “window sill” and the front seats, you can spread out old newspapers or any rag - they will take the brunt of the “sunstroke”.

The front side windows can be protected with "curtains" - for some reason people from the southern republics and citizens with a low level of culture in the body are very fond of putting them on their cars. The disadvantage of such devices is that they require some kind of, but installation. And the traffic police officers look askance at these rags.

Instead of such drapery, you can use removable curtains - those that, if necessary, are quickly molded onto the glass using suction cups or an adhesive backing. They can even be ordered exactly to the size of the windows of your car, so that a minimum of light enters the passenger compartment during parking. Before the start of the movement, the curtains are easily dismantled and removed, since these accessories do not take up much space.
