Auto Tinting Toronto: Ways in Which Radiation Damages the Car’s Interior

 Excessive sun exposure has never helped anyone or anything. The same way it damages human skin and makes it prone to cancer is the same way it damages the car’s interior. Whether you live in an area prone to extreme sun exposure or are looking for temporary protection in summer, auto tinting Toronto will sort you out. Here are common car problems that result from prolonged exposure to UV rays.  

Upholstery Problems  

Prolonged sun exposure ruins the car’s interior. For instance, if your vehicle's interior is made of leather, excess sunlight and heat dry out all the natural oils in the leather, causing dryness, stiffness, and finally cracking. Cleaning or coating the car’s interior leather, fabric, or vinyl with other fabrics or silicon will not protect it from UV rays or slow down the UV-induced damages. The only way to keep the upholstery looking as good as new is getting auto tinting Toronto.  

Damaged Electrical Components  

When left exposed to unfiltered UV rays, the car's electrical components will suffer damage. These components include the navigation system, radio, and other electrical connections beneath the vehicle floor or dashboard. Wires and cable connectors crack, expand or melt when exposed to high temperatures.  

Faded Dashboard  

On a warm day, it is hard to resist the urge to roll down your windows and let the breeze in. However, as you enjoy the cool breeze, the UV rays, and heat accumulated inside your car significantly damage the dashboard. Since it is the most exposed part of your vehicle, you are likely to notice UV damage on the dashboard before any other part. Extreme damage will form cracks and splits and change colour.
 
Auto tinting Toronto should be your first line of defence against UV damage on your car's interior. A tint reduces UV exposure and heat transfer, the two factors that cause interior damage to a vehicle.
