How to Use a Car Sunshade?
2 Answers
When the car is not in use, fix it on the front (rear) window glass with suction cups; when not in use, fold it horizontally into a strip shape. Here is some extended information: 1. Function: The main function of a car sunshade is to block sunlight, preventing light from entering the car in the shaded area, which to some extent reduces the heat inside the car and also protects leather seats and the dashboard from UV damage. Additionally, it enhances privacy by making it difficult to see inside the car from the outside, adding a bit of security. 2. Precautions: It is better to place the car sunshade outside the car, as it is more effective in blocking light and heat. Placing the sunshade inside the car means that sunlight first passes through the glass, with some being blocked by the sunshade and some being reflected back into the car after passing through the glass. In this case, the sunshade only absorbs part of the heat, meaning some heat remains inside the car, warming the interior environment, and it primarily serves to block light.
Using a sunshade when parking is something I do frequently—it's simple yet effective. First, pull down the sun visor for the windshield and fully expand it to cover the entire glass surface, ensuring sunlight is blocked. It’s especially useful in summer, significantly lowering the interior temperature and preventing leather seats and the dashboard from aging prematurely. I make a habit of using it when parked on the street for shopping or during full workdays—opting for reflective materials works even better. Installation is effortless, with most designs featuring magnetic or clip-on attachments—just press lightly. When folding it away, avoid stuffing it carelessly to prevent damaging the roller or causing deformation. While parking in shaded areas is ideal, a sunshade becomes a lifesaver when urban parking spots are scarce. It also keeps the car cooler and safer when traveling with kids. Regular dust cleaning ensures long-lasting effectiveness.
