The simple fix for driving-side sun damage
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 — or reapply — sunscreen for car trips.
So daily commutes and quick errands quietly add up to serious sun exposure on your driving-side.
