We are looking forward to the sun and higher temperatures. While traveling, they can bother us. None of us likes driving a car in hot weather. Today we can use air conditioning, it is found in most vehicles. Nevertheless, the interior of the car heats up, especially when we leave it in a parking lot in the sun. Each of us knows what it means to get into a car that has been in the sun for a long time. For the driver, high temperatures have nothing to do with comfortable driving. Passengers also do not feel comfortable in such vehicles. That's why sun protection appeared on the market. Do you have it in your equipment?
From the article you will learn:
- Why the sun is dangerous for drivers
- How to protect yourself from your vehicle heating up in the summer
- What are the optimal conditions for driving a car?
- What types of sun visors do we have?
How quickly does a car interior heat up?
Apparently, the color black attracts more sunlight. Many studies have been carried out proving that the color of the bodywork has nothing to do with the heating of the interior of the car. A red and white car heats up in the same way as a black or navy blue one. In a car parked in the sun in the summer, after 20 minutes the temperature reaches 50 degrees Celsius. The longer it is in such conditions, the higher the temperature. It is not difficult to imagine how high it will be after an hour or even a whole day. Such values threaten human life. Therefore, you should not leave children and animals in the car, even for a short while. It seems to us that we spent fifteen minutes in the store, but for people who stayed in a hot car it seemed like an eternity.
High temperatures and driving comfort
Visor is often not considered useful car equipment, but even mandatory. In summer, on hot days, drivers' reaction speed decreases by up to 20%. As French experts prove, drivers' reactions are clearly limited at temperatures as low as 27 degrees Celsius. This is not only less driving comfort, but also safety. According to data, in 2016 there were over 650 accidents due to heat fatigue. 98 people died and over 980 were injured.
Will air conditioning help?
We have air conditioning, so we don't have to worry about anything? And yet there is still a problem with hot weather, which adversely affects the temperature in the car. It is not able to cool the heated car interior quickly enough. It will certainly improve driving comfort and help reduce the temperature, but it takes time. According to experts, the optimal temperature in a car is 19-23 degrees Celsius. It will be easier to achieve it if we place a window on the front sun visor. It will also be useful on the rear side windows while driving.
Visor for hot weather
A large portion of sunlight enters the interior of the vehicle through the windows. This is why it heats up so quickly. The best option is to keep your car in the garage, but not everyone has this option. Those who only have parking available should use it sun visor. We place it on the inside or outside of the windshield and attach it using rubber suction cups or rubber bands. It is worth checking whether the selected model has them. You will definitely find such a variant in the Moje Auto offer, that's exactly it car windshield cover My Auto Virage.
How visor?
Why do you need it? visor, when you can put any other material on the glass? Above all visor effectively blocks sunlight. They do not reach the glass and therefore neither the glass nor the interior of the vehicle heat up. Not all fabrics have such properties. Sun visor is made of thermal insulating materials. It is produced taking into account difficult weather conditions. The sun is a pleasure, but in some circumstances it is also a very dangerous companion in everyday travels.
Visor on the side windows
Visor for the windshield is not the only option for sun protection. A very popular and often practiced solution is a side window cover. However, they can only be used on rear windows. They are characterized by a mesh structure, flexibility and universality. They fit all vehicles, can be folded and take up little space. We attach them using suction cups. They do not restrict visibility and at the same time protect against sunlight. Worth buying set with 2 covers, which you will find in the Moje Auto Virage offer.

The sun destroys the upholstery
Cars really don't like hot weather. The sun destroys the varnish, causing it to lose its natural shine and color intensity. At the same time, sunlight penetrating through the glass has a destructive effect on the car upholstery. They contribute to the fading of colors, which translates into the loss of the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle's interior. Aging processes occur very quickly on the upholstery. Visor slows them down, and we can enjoy the beautiful appearance of our car longer.
Summary
- After 20 minutes of parking the car in the heat, the temperature inside it reaches 50 degrees Celsius. It gradually increases the longer we leave the car in such conditions.
- As a result of high temperatures, drivers' reaction speed decreases by 20%, which translates into lower driving safety.
- Visor on the windshield made of thermal insulating material limits access of sunlight to the interior of the vehicle. It makes it easier to achieve the optimal driving temperature, which is 19-23 degrees Celsius.
- Side sunshades can only be used on rear windows. They improve driving comfort, reduce the heating of the car interior and allow you to observe the surroundings.
- The sun also has a negative effect on car upholstery, accelerating its aging process.
