Like a lot of other features in your car, climate control has evolved considerably in later-model cars, giving you the ability to fine-tune your interior temperature down to the last degree. However, that doesn’t change the fact that on a hot day, your car’s HVAC system is going to be working pretty hard for the first twenty or so minutes to get your temperature down. There are things you can do, though, to help make your HVAC’s job a little easier: - Auto Window Shades: You’ve seen them plenty of times, often serving as a baby window shade in the back window of a sedan. Designed for good visibility while blocking UV rays and sunlight, baby window shades attach with suction cups and can be pulled into place just like a window blind.
- Sun Shades: On a hot day, your car’s interior (with the windows up) can easily reach 150 degrees or more. A sun shade for your windshield can cut those interior temps considerably, while also protecting your seats, carpet and dashboard from sun and UV damage. Don’t just settle for a fold-up cardboard sun shade – a sun shade with a reflective surface will do a much better job of deflecting UV rays and heat.
- Sun Zapper – If your commute takes you east in the early morning or west in the late afternoon, you know how punishing the glare from the sun can be, even with your car’s sun visor and a pair of sunglasses. Now consider this – if you’re traveling at 60 mph, your car covers over 80 feet per second. A lot can happen in one second! The Sun Zapper shields you from extra-bright glare; it’s a section of dark polycarbonate that can slide into place, to where it will do you the most good!
- Rain and Wind Deflectors – Designed to help direct wind away from open windows, rain and wind deflectors have the added benefit of cutting ambient wind and road noise. Precision-fit for most cars, SUVs, trucks, minivans and vans, our rain and wind deflectors are smoke-tinted cast acrylic, and install quickly and easily without tools.
