Regularly parking your car in the sun can lead to a series of extremely dangerous risks for your car.

Faded paint

Heat and other factors over time will wear down and stain the protective layer of the paint surface, causing the car's paint to fade easily.

Normally, the car's paint surface has a thin layer of clear paint that protects the paint and makes the car shiny. If you often park your car under the sun for a long time, it will affect the paint's protective layer, causing the paint to fade easily. This situation is more common on popular cars with white or red paint colors...

Broken wipers, rubber gaskets

Rubber is a material that is less heat resistant than most other parts and materials on a car. Therefore, if the car is parked in the sun for a long time, the rubber parts will quickly deteriorate and become damaged.

It should be noted that not only the windshield wipers are made of rubber, but also around the glass panels, car doors, sunroofs, etc., there is a layer of rubber gasket that helps to tightly connect the parts, helping the car to insulate and soundproof to the maximum outside environment. The car owner will have to spend a relatively large amount of money to replace these parts if they are degraded due to frequent parking in the sun.

Heat-insulating film degrades quickly

Most window films will last an average of 5-7 years before their effectiveness begins to diminish. However, leaving your car in the sun regularly will cause the window film to degrade faster than normal.

Deteriorated cabin interior

With the vast majority of current car models, the details and parts in the cabin and interior of the car are often made of plastic, leather, etc. These materials, if regularly exposed to high temperatures, will not only fade but also easily deform, damage, and peel. Especially the parts that are often exposed to sunlight such as the front dashboard, seats, and door panels, etc.

Damaged or flammable objects in the car

Not only the car itself is affected, the habit of leaving items in the car of the user can also lead to unpredictable consequences if the car is often parked under hot sun. In fact, items such as shoes, handbags, cosmetics... are more susceptible to damage under the impact of temperature. In particular, if the car user accidentally leaves some items such as lighters, cans of soft drinks, spare chargers or phones... it can also lead to fire and explosion.
