    Great tips and very well applicable and straight. Some other videos will first lecture you on the reason the sun must exist and how the interaction between your car and the sun may keep you to use the restroom and finally share the tips.

    “How to get your car broken into with just a 2in cracked window.”
    I’ll rather get into a hot car than having my radio, personal belongings and possibly the whole car stolen. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Anyone who gonna break in, can get in even with the door locked and window closed. Takes like 3 minutes max. Have you ever locked your keys in car and called emergency roadside like Triple A? If those guys can get into the car, then anyone can.

    I can testify that cracked windows and a sunshade do wonders in hot weather, especially 100+ like we've been getting the last two months. I don't understand people thinking cars are easier to break into with the windows cracked, how does it make things any easier for a thief than fully rolled?

    • @pseudonamejacobs9146

      if you dont have your windows open. they would need to shimmy their way into the car. spread the weather strip and slowly insert the tool to get into your car.
      if you DO have your car windows opened, you dont need to shimmy anymore so you just need your tool, shove it in and you're good to go.
      you're basically doing 1 less step for them to get into your car.

      where I live, it can thunderstorm without warning in the summer, even if the weather doesn't call for it. Otherwise, I would crack the windows. but I do use a sunshade and it makes a huge difference.

  • @DOBBAPHOENIX
    @DOBBAPHOENIX 2 роки тому +28

    1) Partially Open your windows.
    2) Use Solar Shade
    3) Turn Steering Wheel 180 degrees so the hot part is not the part you normally touch.
    4) Cover Surfaces with Beach Blanket

    Buy a white vehicle!! A white cover on the outside of the windows reflects the heat before it gets in the car. Twirl a wet towel and then when it's cool put it over your head and shoulders.

    Touch a white car in the sun, then touch a chromed piece, you guessed it the chrome is hotter. Then if you dare, touch any other colored car. With the windows covered in white on the outside of the glass there is no need to turn the wheel over. Also in the winter you can skip scrapping the frost and ice.
