The sun’s harsh UV rays don’t only damage exterior paint. Interior surfaces are also vulnerable. Here are tips to protect your vehicle’s cabin from sun damage.
How Sun Damages Interior Surfaces
- Fades and dries out leather
- Damages vinyl and plastics causing cracking
- Bleaches and fades carpet and upholstery
- Causes dashboard components to deteriorate
Block UV Rays with Window Tint
Adding professional window tint blocks up to 99% of UV radiation from entering your car. This helps protect surfaces and keep interiors cooler.
Use Protectants on Surfaces
- Leather conditioners with UV inhibitors help protect seats
- Vinyl/plastic dressings contain UV blockers to prevent fading
- Ceramic coatings for glass provide a UV shield inside and out
Buy UV-Resistant Accessories
- Dash covers and seat covers made of UV-resistant materials
- Carpet floor mats with UV-stabilized rubber backing
- Purchase a sunshade to block rays through windshield
Park in the Shade
When possible, park your vehicle in covered parking or shaded areas during the day to minimize constant sun exposure through glass.
