Is it necessary to install rain guards?

Rain guards are necessary to install. Rain guards can effectively prevent rainwater or strong wind from directly blowing into the car, improving ventilation efficiency; when driving in the rain, opening the window can also prevent the window from fogging up; with the integrated design of the car body, the lines are unified and perfect, and the shape is pleasing to the eye. The method of installing rain guards is as follows: 1. Use a clean cloth to wipe the corresponding window part where the rain guard will be installed. 2. Confirm the most suitable sticking position, tear off the protective paper, use a heat gun or electric hair dryer to soften the 3M tape to enhance the adhesion strength of the tape. 3. Slowly align the position and stick it on, then press the bonded part with your palm or fingers.
I think installing rain guards is absolutely necessary, especially in rainy and humid regions. They allow you to open windows for ventilation during rain without water directly pouring into the car, significantly improving comfort. Having driven in southern China for many years, I find them extremely practical during heavy rain – cracking the window slightly ensures good air circulation without worrying about wet seats. Installation is also simple, usually secured with double-sided tape or clips. Just choose products made of UV-resistant and warp-resistant materials. While some worry about increased wind resistance affecting fuel consumption or noise, the impact is minimal in city driving. Long-term use shows that rain guards are low-cost yet highly convenient. If you frequently take long trips or prefer not to always use air conditioning, installing rain guards is definitely worthwhile. Remember to follow the instructions carefully to ensure secure adhesion and avoid loosening.
