Car privacy and sun protection in autumn and winter too? Of course!

When we think of sun protection, summer often comes to mind. The hot days, the blinding sun and protection from too much heat in the car take centre stage. But even in the cooler months, there are numerous reasons why it makes sense to use car sun visors such as Sonniboys. In this article, we show you why.
1. Theft protection
How can car sun visors help to reduce the risk of theft? Sun visors can prevent passers-by or potential thieves from looking into the car. If valuables in the back seat or boot are not visible, there is less temptation to break into the vehicle. A car that looks well protected and in which no valuables are visible can appear less attractive to thieves. This can deter potential offenders.
2. Protection of privacy
Who or what is in your car is up to you. Especially in busy areas, it can be unpleasant when strangers look into your car. The Sonniboy provides a visual barrier and helps to maintain your privacy. If you make phone calls or have private conversations in the car, what is happening inside is shielded.
3. Less dangerous glare
In autumn and winter, the low sun can be particularly dazzling, making driving dangerous. The Sonniboy helps to reduce glare and improves the driver's visibility. This is also important at dusk, when visibility suddenly deteriorates. The risk of accidents is definitely reduced!
4. Noise insulation in the vehicle
Textile screens on the window panes also ensure that noise from outside is insulated inside the vehicle. This makes the car quieter and conversations or listening to music much more pleasant.
5. Protection from UV rays
One aspect that is often overlooked is that UV rays are not only present in summer, but all year round. Even on cloudy days, up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate the clouds. Sun visors help to block the UV rays that can penetrate the car and damage the interior and the health of the occupants. UV rays favour skin damage and can even cause skin cancer in the long term. Good sun protection is therefore also important in the cold season.
6. Avoidance of heat build-up
Although the outside temperatures are lower in autumn and winter, the inside of a car can quickly overheat on sunny days. The blinds reflect the sunlight and prevent the car from heating up. This is particularly important when the car is parked for long periods of time.
7. Protection of the interior
The interior of a car can be damaged by direct sunlight. UV rays can cause materials such as leather and plastics to fade and become brittle. Sun visors offer effective protection by reducing direct sunlight and thus extending the service life of the interior fittings.
