If you want additional protection from the sun especially during summer when temperatures are high, you may want to consider using  car window shades. These accessories can be used on all the windows surrounding the vehicle to reduce the heat that is absorbed inside. Here&rsquo;s a rundown of the benefits of using window shades, which are also known as car sun shades:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Using Window Shades<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Reduce temperature inside the car<\/strong> &ndash; As mentioned, window shades minimize the heat absorbed inside the car, helping regulate cabin temperature. If you tend to leave your car outside under the sun for a relatively long period of time, these accessories could help the interior stay cool for when you&rsquo;re ready to drive. If you&rsquo;re tired of getting back to a scorching hot steering wheel, window shades could help prevent this unpleasant experience from happening.<\/li><li><strong>Keep the electronics inside your car in tip-top shape<\/strong> &ndash; The heat of the sun can damage  electronics inside your vehicle. Car sun shades can help extend the life of your car&rsquo;s electronic devices, so you can enjoy using them much longer. <\/li><li><strong>Make your car interior last longer<\/strong> &ndash; Window shades help prolong the life of your vehicle&rsquo;s interior as they shield the upholstery and dashboard cover from the sun&rsquo;s heat. Your interior can look fresh for a longer period of time and you can save on repair or replacement costs. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Side Window Louvers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Side window louvers are a series of slats mounted on the rear window or the quarter window of a car. Window louvers are more often used on sports cars such as the Ford Mustang, Datsun 260Z, and Honda Civic SI. While they are mostly installed for aesthetic purposes, they also serve to minimize glare when driving, among other things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7qTv7onP6c\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

The former covers the entire area of the rear window while the latter covers only a portion. It goes without saying that quarter window louvers are also more discreet than rear window louvers. Here are the benefits of using louvers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Using Side-window Louvers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Reduce glare<\/strong> &ndash; Window louvers can help shield your car against sunlight. Due to their special design and construction, you&rsquo;ll be able to comfortably look through your window despite intense sunlight. <\/li><li><strong>They can help make your car interior cool and comfortable<\/strong> &ndash; Just like car sun shades, window louvers also help prevent the seats of your vehicles from getting hot due to sun exposure. A cool steering wheel and seats could make for a more comfortable driving experience.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Window Tint<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/things-to-remember-when-getting-your-car-windows-tinted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Window tint\">Window tint<\/a> is one of the most commonly used car window accessories. Also known as window film, window tint blocks off sun rays, helping reduce glare. Window tint comes in several varieties, including dyed, metalized, hybrid, carbon, crystalline, and ceramic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Disclaimer: <\/strong><em>Some states prohibit the use of window tint on cars, so <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/legal-window-tint-percentages-and-how-they-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"check your local laws\">check your local laws<\/a> before tinting your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/traffic\/traffic-tickets\/window-tint-laws-state-specific-information.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"windows\">windows<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Using Window Tint<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a window tint comes with several benefits, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Reduce eye fatigue<\/strong> &ndash; Your eyes can get tired from trying to see through intense sunlight while on long drives. Window tint helps regulate the amount of sunlight that reaches your eyes, which makes driving more comfortable and also helps you avoid road accidents. Similarly, window tint can also reduce glare from  headlights when you&rsquo;re driving at night. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Extend the life of your car upholstery<\/strong> &ndash; As mentioned, window tint helps reduce heat from the sun, so it could help make your leather upholstery last longer. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Window Curtains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Window curtains can come in handy as a temporary means of protecting yourself from the sun. Window curtains also give you privacy if you can&rsquo;t get your car tinted as dark as you want to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Disclaimer: <\/strong><em>Some states only allow fitting of curtains on rear side windows of the vehicle so check with your local laws before you proceed with purchase and installation. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Using Window Curtains<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Shield your interior against harmful UV rays<\/strong> &ndash; Depending on the material used, window curtains may or may not provide additional protection from harmful UV rays. Most car curtains are made from polyester. Some are black out or mesh, and some come with built-in UV protection. <\/li><li><strong>Protect yourself and your passengers from glass shards in the case of an accident<\/strong> &ndash; While one might argue that the protection they provide is not that much, car window curtains can still provide extra protection just in case your windows shatter for any reason. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Car window accessories may appear to be excessive but installing them is actually a good way to provide additional protection for your interior while enhancing your ride&rsquo;s overall look. Their benefits tend to overlap with each other. Ultimately, it boils down to personal preference and vehicle fitment when choosing the right car window accessory for your application. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 5<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Car window accessories like a windshield sun shade can help protect your vehicle&rsquo;s interior and your eyes from the potentially&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/a-guide-to-car-window-accessories\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":7306,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3756,52],"tags":[2177,1287],"ppma_author":[2607,3269],"class_list":{"0":"post-7305","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-accessories","8":"category-diy","9":"tag-window-louver","10":"tag-window-visor-2","11":"entry"},"acf":{"adrotate_specific_mobile_ad":"","adrotate_specific_desktop_ad":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A Guide to Car Window Accessories - In The Garage with CarParts.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Window visors, sun shades, curtains--there are many car window accessories you can use to protect your interior from the intense heat of the sun.
