Is it just me, or does the sun shine a lot hotter through the Optima's windshield than it did in other cars I've had? I don't even remember my 2016 SXL transmitting so much heat.
I'm talking about when when I'm driving facing the sun to one degree or another, and it beats down onto my legs and arms. My side windows are tinted and they're not bad, but boy that heat sure comes through the windshield!
Not to Bad in my SWP and it's been hot! Now my former Black Forte, that was something else, that sucker got really hot. I had to wash/wax/detail pretty much before the Sun Came Up!.......................
Can you install a non-tinting tint to the windshield, to block the heat but not decrease visibility? I could swear I heard something about that, for when it's not legal to have tint in the front... maybe I'm wrong anyone else?
Ceramic tint knocks out the heat but weird effects with polarized sunglasses. $6.99 (Amazon)external shade helps, protects dash cam and dash from UV. View attachment 233961
The planet might of gotten a point of a degree warmer.
Yer getting Older. You not conditioned for the outside .
Another reason I refuse to get another vehicle with a sun roof too.
Turn the air conditioner down some.
Its already above 90* in Texas and I hear people complaining about the heat.
WoW.
Wait another 2 months. They get back to us.
I haven't measured with a thermometer, but I swear my interior heat goes down when I park with the the sunroof cracked open to allow air circulation. Lets the hottest air escape, without being trapped inside.
Yeah, I wondered about some kind of film that would reduce the IR rays and maybe the heat. Texas doesn't allow any tint on the windshield, but if it were clear they'd never know. I'll look into that Air 80.
It just seems ot me that the windshield of my '17 transmits more heat than previous cars. I was wondering if Kia made some kind of change in the glass or something.
O.K. I got in touch with my Buddy and here is the answer on what to do.
He has it on his Kia Soul. Said the sun can be bright outside and the sun hitting the windows and you do not feel it.
I understood they also have a clear to go on the inside of the windshield also.
Do not ask me where he got it installed.
I have did everything else .
There is a company called FlexfimnPanaflex carbon ceramic.
