How to Cool Your Car Down Fast This Summer

Blistering seats, scorching steering wheels, and stifling air– few things feel worse than getting into a hot car in the summer. When there’s somewhere you need to be but your car feels like a mobile sauna, you’re going to want to cool it down, and fast! Here are a few things you can try to keep your car comfortably cool all summer long this year.

Use Window Shades

When it comes to keeping your car cool in summertime, the sun is your enemy. The windows of your car will let the light and heat of the sun in and then trap them inside like a greenhouse, so blocking your windows with shades can help to keep the temperature down. Try foldable shades for your windshield and sticky or suction shades for your other windows!

Try Light Seat Covers

Dark colors for a car’s interior look sleek and sophisticated. They also soak up and trap heat like nobody’s business, keeping your car sweltering on hot summer days. Adding some light-colored seat covers can be a great call in this season, since they’re less prone to absorbing heat and will help keep your car cooler. Plus, they’ll protect your seats and keep them clean from all the dirt and sand that comes along with summer fun!

Fan Your Doors

This weird trick can help you to take the edge off the heat in your car. Roll down your passenger side window while keeping the driver’s side window up, and then swing the door back and forth a few times like you’re fanning the inside of the car. This can help to push some of the hottest air out of your car, making it easier for your air conditioner to start making things comfortable and cool again!
