Wait… I was born after the 90s and got my first Car a year ago. It still has a Detachable Radio, No Automatic Windows and also … is the last pic a trick against heat if you have no AC? Because I also have no AC and I always fucking die when I enter my Car after Work when the sun was blasting on it for some time. Are you telling me that I can just place that thing that is normally against ice in Winter in there and my Car stops overheating? I must be misunderstanding. This cant be so easy right?

It’s not lol It works perfect, it just has no AC or Automatic Windows or anything because this is an old car. Pretty normal for the first car.

It helps but it’ll still be hot as crap inside. You just won’t need your oven mitts to grab the wheel.

It’s a pop out windshield shade, yes. Put it in your windshield when you get out and it’ll block the sun and keep your car cooler. They’re incredibly common, can find a dozen options at any Target, Walmart, etc.

Is this any different to the thing I put outside my Windshield in winter? Or can I just use that?

You can use the same Windshield in winter and summer (I did many years). When it is used from outside, it helps even more against the temperature.

It is a bit more fun though, to use one with big eyes to be positioned inside and make your car look like from Cars movie. Example on Pinterest

We have the red version (strangely ours was much cheaper here in Germany than what I just found on Walmart website) in our little red Toyota and aside from keeping the car cooler it is looking really cute.

It’s the same if it has this silvery surface which reflects radiation. Also don’t expect miracles. If you park in the sun, the air inside will still be super hot. The actual advantage is that your dash, steering wheel and seats won’t be lava when you get in the car.

yes you can use that, and to be most effective you also obviously put it outside
