Is it necessary to install car window rain guards?
2 Answers
Car window rain guards can be installed, with the following advantages: 1. Eliminates fog and smoke odor: On rainy days, you don't have to worry about slow smoke dissipation inside the car. It also helps eliminate fog. 2. Blocks sunlight: During the hot summer months, if you don't open the windows and rely solely on air conditioning, the air inside the car cannot circulate with the outside air, which is not good for your health. Opening the windows lets sunlight in, but with rain guards, you can slightly open the windows, and they will block direct sunlight from entering the car. 3. Maintains fresh air: In any environmental condition, it ensures the circulation of fresh air, keeping the interior suitable for human needs. 4. Reduces window fogging: By maintaining fresh air circulation, it prevents window fogging under any circumstances, ensuring clear visibility and safe driving.
I think window rain deflectors are quite necessary to install in certain situations, especially in areas with frequent rain or if you're used to slightly opening the windows for ventilation while driving. Having driven for several years, these things were a lifesaver during rainy summers—rain wouldn’t splash directly inside, and the air in the car could still circulate, preventing stuffiness or fogging. The installation process is usually very simple; some models just stick on without damaging the original car paint, and they’re quite affordable, costing just a few dozen yuan. Of course, there are downsides, such as potentially increased wind noise at high speeds or making the car look a bit outdated visually, though modern designs have improved a lot. Overall, I’d recommend them for those who live in rainy areas or smoke, as they can enhance daily driving comfort and safety, avoiding fatigue from keeping windows completely closed.
