Should You Install a Windshield Film for Your Car?
2 Answers
It is recommended to install a windshield film for your car for the following reasons: 1. It provides heat insulation in summer, saving energy for air conditioning; 2. It reduces heat loss in winter, helping to maintain the interior temperature; 3. It blocks UV rays, protecting the car's interior from direct sunlight and extending the lifespan and quality of the furnishings; 4. It reduces glare, ensuring safer and more comfortable driving. After installing the windshield film, please note the following precautions: 1. Avoid rolling down the windows for 3 days; 2. Do not use fingernails or sharp objects to lift the edges of the film to prevent dirt from entering; 3. Avoid attaching suction cup items to the film for 1 to 2 weeks; 4. Address any bubbles, shifting, or blurred vision on the film promptly to avoid compromising driving safety.
I used to dislike applying front windshield film too, until one summer when I drove a long distance and got my arms sunburned to the point of peeling—that's when I regretted it. Now I definitely apply it, just choose one with over 70% light transmittance. It won’t obstruct your view and can block 90% of UV rays. Driving under strong sunlight is the most annoying, especially in the afternoon when the light slants in. With the film, the car feels noticeably cooler. Front windshield film also reduces glare, so you don’t have to worry about being dazzled by oncoming headlights on rainy days. Just remember, don’t go for cheap dark films—police are strict about this. If the light transmittance is insufficient, you could be fined. Safety should always come first.
