I'd be worried about eventually cracking glass from the extraneous, repeated, rapid thermal stress. Garage the car OR park in the shade OR put up a solar shade in the window, crack the windows, and/or crank the A/C before getting in. Also, don't have a car with a dark paint or interior, or metal seatbelt buckle housings.
- fullstkinventor 2y agoEverybody puts solar shade reflectors in the front and side windows - else you’ll burn your hands on the steering wheel. Phoenix historic downtown homes don’t generally have garages and shade is hard to find. We always leave the windows cracked. It’s a very extreme environ akin to Death Valley and it’s hard to imagine if you haven’t lived through a summer here.
- hi-v-rocknroll 2y agoI've been around a bit, but I don't understand people who don't help themselves by practicing enough adaptive habits. My mom appears allergic to solar shades for some reason.
- dylan604 2y agoI gave up on those collapsible shades you have to take down and put somewhere in the car until the one day you're in a rush and put it in the trunk trying to make space or just hide it because it doesn't look cool on date night, but then you park to realize it's in the trunk but your in a hurry and decide you get it back out next time. Continuously for weeks. I upgraded to the retractable ones that attach to the either side of the windshield. They were never put in the trunk ever again
