What is the mat in front of the car called?
1 Answers
The mat placed in front of the car, below the windshield, is called a dashboard sun shield. Functions of the dashboard sun shield: Prevents sunlight refraction, enhancing the windshield's transparency and brightness; blocks reflections from the outside and the dashboard on the windshield; its base layer protects the dashboard surface from damage and reduces the temperature of both the dashboard and the car interior; absorbs UV rays and strong light, reducing glare and improving driving safety. Drawbacks of the dashboard sun shield: The dashboard sun shield can affect heat dissipation. While the driver's airbag is mostly located in the steering wheel area, the passenger airbag is positioned exactly where the sun shield covers, which may interfere with the airbag's deployment.
