Why motorists are increasingly ditching the windshield reflector

Summer time has already crept up, which means that the sultry days will begin very soon, and with them new problems will come. Many of them will fall on motorists as well. The impossibly hot interior of the car is one such problem. Very often they try to solve it with the help of a reflective screen. In reality, this approach is far from the best.

A reflective windshield screen can really help protect the interior. It is able to protect the seats and dashboard from the harmful effects of sunlight. It is also important that it allows you to reduce the degree of heating of the air in the cabin and thus make the subsequent ride more comfortable. However, a reflective screen has two big drawbacks.

But there are nuances. | Photo: drive2.com.

First, the reflective screen is absolutely unsuitable for long-term use, since it gradually heats up and thus loses its protective properties. In order for it to work at 100%, it will have to be turned over regularly. And this, in turn, requires additional time and effort to maintain the machine.

Second, by protecting the passenger compartment from damaging sunlight, the reflective screen enhances the negative impact on the windshield. This happens due to the fact that the sun's rays pass through the glazing twice in a row. Thus, the glass is heated even more. Ultimately, this can lead to not very good consequences.

Therefore, the sun reflecting screen is recommended to be used only during short stops. In all other cases, it is strongly recommended to use good old covers to cover the windows, and even better - the entire car body from the sun's rays.
