Can Cars Be Exposed to Direct Sunlight?
1 Answers
Cars should not be exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. There are many rubber seals on a vehicle, and prolonged sun exposure can cause these rubber seals to age. If the car has a sunroof, this may lead to leakage issues. Consequences of Prolonged Sun Exposure: Leaving a car under the sun for extended periods can also affect the paint, causing it to yellow or even crack. Additionally, prolonged sun exposure impacts the interior. Sunlight directly entering the car can damage plastic or leather components, accelerating their aging process. Plastic parts may even develop wrinkles over time. Ways to Protect Your Car from Sun Exposure: Window tinting not only provides heat and UV protection but also blocks most visible light, functioning like sunglasses. This makes driving in intense sunlight more comfortable for both the body and eyes.
