Can Cars Be Exposed to Direct Sunlight During the Dog Days of Summer?
1 Answers
Cars should not be exposed to direct sunlight. There are many rubber seals on a vehicle, and prolonged exposure can cause these rubber seals to age. If the car has a sunroof, this may lead to water leakage issues. Consequences of exposing a car to direct sunlight: Leaving a car under the sun for extended periods can also affect the paint, causing it to yellow or even crack. Additionally, prolonged exposure impacts the interior. Sunlight directly enters the car, and since the interior is made of plastic or leather materials, long-term exposure can cause these materials to age. Plastic components may even develop wrinkles. Methods to protect your car from sunlight: Car window films not only provide heat insulation and block UV rays but also filter out most visible light, acting like sunglasses. This makes driving under the scorching sun more comfortable for both the body and eyes.
