Is the Car Sun Visor Only Needed for the Front Windshield?
2 Answers
Car sun visors are certainly not only needed for the front windshield; they also include rear and side visors. The details are as follows: 1. Classification: Sun visors can be divided into front, side, and rear visors. In summer, sunlight entering through the side windows can still be quite intense with strong UV rays. 2. Functions: They prevent sunlight from affecting the driver's visibility, ensuring driving safety. They also help prevent the interior temperature from rising, improving comfort inside the car. Additionally, they shield the car's dashboard, leather seat covers, etc., from direct sunlight. 3. Other Benefits: Besides blocking visibility to enhance privacy, car sun visors can also increase the security of personal belongings inside the vehicle.
Actually, using just the front windshield sunshade isn't enough for cars. One summer when I was driving, although the front windshield was covered, the afternoon sun came in at an angle, making my left arm burn from the heat, and the rearview mirror reflected light, affecting visibility. Without side window sunshades, the car could get as hot as a steamer. Especially when taking kids out, direct sunlight from the side can easily cause sunburn. I personally keep a set of magnetic sunshades—five pieces in total, covering the front windshield and all four side windows, folding up to just the size of a palm. Now, when I park in hot weather and install them all, the steering wheel isn't even hot to the touch when I start the car. The front windshield shade mainly protects against sun damage and aging, while the side windows really determine how hot it feels inside. My advice is not to skimp on those few extra bucks when buying sunshades—go for a full set with UV coating. The sun protection and heat insulation effects will double.
