Is It Necessary to Install Car Rain Guards?
2 Answers
Car rain guards are necessary to install, especially in rainy areas. Rain guards are car accessories, which are protruding rain visors made of synthetic resin or engineering plastic material along the top edge of car windows. They can effectively prevent rainwater or strong wind from directly blowing into the car, improve ventilation efficiency, and prevent window fogging when driving with windows open in the rain. The main functions of car rain guards are: 1. In rainy conditions, they maintain fresh air circulation, ensuring a comfortable environment inside the car for passengers; 2. By maintaining fresh air circulation, they prevent window fogging under any circumstances, which enhances driving safety by ensuring clear visibility and operation; 3. They block glaring side light and UV rays, reduce interior temperature, and prevent rain, snow, and sand from entering the car without affecting external air exchange.
As a frequent city commuter, I find rain guards quite necessary, especially during rainy days. Before installing them, even slightly opening the window for ventilation would let rainwater splash in, soaking clothes and seats—really annoying. After installation, raindrops slide off along the rain guards, allowing ventilation without getting wet, which is much more comfortable. The downside is occasional minor wind noise at high speeds, but turning up the music easily drowns it out—a small issue compared to getting drenched. I also found that adhesive-mounted rain guards are more secure and less likely to fall off, with daily maintenance just being dust wiping. Overall, for driving in humid and rainy areas, this small accessory is definitely worth it, enhancing driving comfort. If you often take long trips or have rhinitis, the ability to breathe fresh air while staying dry makes it highly cost-effective.
