Driving-side sun damage is real
Front windscreens block most UV.
Side windows don’t.
Up to 79% of UV-A rays can penetrate closed side windows
(100% when open).
Most of us don’t apply (and reapply) sunscreen for car trips and so our daily work commutes and every “quick trip" add to a lot of damaging sun exposure for our driving-side.
