Many car owners will make some changes to the appearance of their cars, and Rain Guards are one of them. After installing it on the car, the car windows can be opened on rainy days, and the rain will not flow into the interior of the car through the windows, which has a good rain-proof effect. But some car owners think that it is completely unnecessary to install it. What are the advantages and disadvantages of rain guards? Is it necessary to install it?
Today I will talk to you about this issue and answer your doubts. I hope it will be helpful to you.
Car rain guards are also called Car Window Visors. They are a kind of car product that can be used on rainy days and sunny days. They are installed on the top edge of the car window.
What is the role of car window visors?
Opening the window on rainy days can prevent rain from entering the car
The car windows often fog up on rainy days, and rain will come in when the windows are opened. If window visors are installed, a small gap can be opened to block rain, reduce the temperature in the car, and quickly defog.
Block the sun, open the window for ventilation and cooling
Similarly, the window visors can also block the sun. Therefore, in the hot summer, if the four windows are closed, the air inside and outside the car cannot circulate, and opening the window is hot and uncomfortable. If you install window visors, you can open a small gap to prevent the sun from directly shining into the car and ventilate.
What's wrong with installing window visors?
Window visors with poor light transmittance will increase the blind area of the A-pillar
The window visors are installed near the A-pillar, which will increase the blind area of the A-pillar and have a certain impact on the vision of the car owner. The rain eyebrows with poor light transmittance will make the A-pillar look larger and increase the additional blind area, which will affect driving safety. Therefore, when choosing rain guards, we should choose those with higher light transmittance to avoid affecting driving safety.
Car window visors will increase wind noise at high speeds
When driving at high speeds, you will encounter increased car wind noise. According to experimental tests, when the car speed exceeds 60km/h, you can clearly hear the noise getting louder.
Generally speaking, installing window visors will increase wind noise by about 10 decibels compared to not installing them. 10 decibels is equivalent to more than 2 times the noise increase.
Poor-quality window visors are easy to fall off
Some low-quality window visors are glued. If the glue quality is poor or not glued tightly, they will fall off over time. Once they are blown away by the wind while driving, they may also injure other vehicles or pedestrians.
When choosing window visors, it is recommended to choose window visors with 3M automotive tape. AEROMAXFIT's car window visors use automotive-specific 3M tape, which can be firmly fixed to the car window and will not fall off even after long-term use, ensuring driving safety.
Should I install window visors on my car windows?
In summary, whether it is necessary to install car window visors depends on our own situation, needs and preferences.
Situations not recommended:
People who often drive on highways and have sensitive hearing are not recommended to install
Situations recommended to install:
1. It is recommended to install in areas with heavy rain
2. It is best to install if someone in the family suffers from motion sickness or rhinitis
If you want to install window visors, you should pay attention to the following two aspects:
1. Choose light-colored, highly transparent window visors
In terms of color, you can choose a light-colored window visors with high transparency. Otherwise, it will affect the driver's driving vision when driving at night. If you are not careful, an accident will occur.
2. Choose acrylic materials instead of ordinary polyethylene materials
In terms of materials, you should choose a heat-resistant and sun-resistant material. Do not use ordinary polyethylene materials. Its material is too brittle and can be easily broken. It is best to use acrylic window visors.
