Heat reflective windscreen - Rebecca
Do heat reflective or 'climate control' coated windscreens really make a significant difference to the interior of a car? BMW claim the interior temperature would be at least 10 degrees lower than outside, and the steering wheel and seats (black leather) won't get so hot. Is this option worth the money? (about £200).
Re: Heat reflective windscreen - Chris
I have an old (fifteen years old in fact) Peugeot 309. When new it was the top of the range model with bronzed windows. A few months back a side window broke when a shower of stones came off a truck on the M4. The window was initially replaced with clear perspex, and man, did it make a difference. The sun just roasted us all the way up the M6. I had no idea the slight tint could make such a difference. So proper heat reflective coatings probably do make a difference.
