is there any effects from the sunheat to the car itself? its getting summer, and it was 93F today in houston, and i gotta park my car in outside parking lot evryday at campus.. worst thing is.. MINE IS NBP!!!

 

It does get hot - I live in Jacksonville, FL, where we get heat and humidity very much like in Houston. I've been experimenting with leaving the "moon" roof cracked during the day. Also, I need to remember to try opening the windows with the remove as I approach the car to see if that will help.

One thing I may try is to find some sort of seat cushion that will keep it from getting so hot. Mine's royal blue with the ebony interior, so that's not a combination known for keeping things cool. At least the a/c pumps out cold air quickly. The only other thing I could think of that would really help is a remote starter.....

 

The sun can affect your dash........ treat it with some 303. Keep the car clean and waxed. Condition the leather seats. Also a good sun shade helps a lot. Careful about leaving the sun roof popped up, never know when a sudden afternoon thunderstorm with hit.

 

Tinted windows help & front window shade.

 

ceramic tint. and use the moonroof crack technique. both of those helped me out tremendously last summer

 

Speaking of sun shades, this is what I got from AutoAnything.com. I had one previously for my Altima. It lasted 3-4 years before finally wearing out. As the saying goes, "don't leave home without one".....

 

tru on the sudden thunderstorms..especially in florida...and its almost that time of year...btw...hook me up with that 303 mike...i'll hook you up with the lexol...

 

Rod, where are you buying your Lexol? I've notice HomeDepot carries it now and I think it's cheaper than Pepboys....... Let's try to get together next weekend for some detailing. Perhaps some other J-ville peeps from this forum will join us........
