Is it necessary to install a sunshade mat in a car?
2 Answers
Whether to install a sunshade mat in a car can be decided based on personal needs. Here is more information about sunshade mats: 1. A sunshade mat, also known as a glare shield, can prevent sunlight refraction, increase the transparency of the front windshield, and effectively prevent other reflections from obstructing the view on the windshield. Additionally, the sunshade mat can prevent the dashboard surface from aging and help reduce the interior temperature. 2. If a low-quality sunshade mat is used, it may emit odors when exposed to sunlight, which could be harmful to human health. 3. If the sunshade mat is not securely installed, it may fall off during driving, posing a potential safety hazard.
I think installing a sunshade mat is quite necessary. My car has been used for almost two years, and in summer when parked outdoors, the dashboard gets too hot to touch, while UV rays accelerate the aging of the interior. The sunshade mat acts like an umbrella for the dashboard, reducing the temperature by about 15 degrees during intense sunlight, protecting plastic parts from cracking and fading. Moreover, it reduces glare from the windshield, making it clearer to see the navigation while driving. When choosing one, be careful not to buy the cheapest options, as they often have strong odors and are prone to shedding. I opted for an eco-friendly material for peace of mind. During installation, pay special attention not to block the passenger airbag area, as it could affect safety. After use, simply pat off the dust, and it hardly requires any special maintenance.
