Lower car interior temperature

[Spycraft]

Gong Xi fa Cai!!

 

I did not find a similar topic, so decided to create a new one.

 

All of us would have experienced 'green house' effect when parking our ride under the hot sun. The interior is extremely warm even with thermal flims installed.

 

Does anyone has DIY methods to control, if not reduce, the interior temperature?

Wind all the windows down a tiny bit to allow the heat to escape. Makes a lot of difference.

So long as no hot air escapes the interior remain hot.Suggest u slight open the windows.FOC

I once read somewhere that there's this product that is fixed to the a/c fans to remove the hot air mechanically. wonder how well it works.

LIQUIDH, if you not talking about FOC but a device, there is a aftermarket system where one could activate a button with a remote control just like an alarm system. By pressing or depressing the buttons, one could open or close the windows automatically.

 

I know that certain models of Merc has this factory installed and I believe other expensive brands do have this device as well.

i believe merc, bmw, audi, etc do have this function installed in some of their models.

 

to wind down the windows, press and hold unlock.

Last time I ever come across a device that sucks out the warm air inside the car.

It is a solar power suction fan install on the windows (slightly wound down)but doubt that it can reduce the inside temp much in our climate.

 

Best is to wind down all windows and drive off for a while to cool down.

Mitsubishi Grandis also have ...consider expensive brands?

Mitsubishi Etacs....same ,using key remote

for me ..i open all doors...

on the engine..let air con run as u normally would while driving...

then wait a while...maybe a min or 2 for the hot air to 'exit' ...

then get inside the car..wind up windows and move off...

but hor..my ride has lesser glass panels..

so dun noe whether the same would work for u

One trick is to have a spray gun or aerosol bottle spraying a fine mist of water.

Me always keep one of this aerosol bottle in the car handy. Can use for a quick spray to clean anything - e.g hand after makan KFC ...etc. Just a thought.
