Do you think popping a sunroof up while the car is parked in the sun actually makes the interior cooler? Assuming all the windows are closed, is the small roof vent enough to make a difference? > Do you think popping a sunroof up while the car is parked in the sun > actually makes the interior cooler?

Any kind of circulation in there is going to help somewhat. >Do you think popping a sunroof up while the car is parked in the sun >actually makes the interior cooler?

Assuming all the windows are > closed, is the small roof vent enough to make a difference? Based on my experiences in several different cars, yes. The inside of the car gets hot enough that the temperature differential between inside and outside the car starts some airflow, similar to a thermosyphon (no water pump) cooling system. It's still freakin' hot when you come back to the car, but less so than with the sunroof closed. nate >Do you think popping a sunroof up while the car is parked in the sun >actually makes the interior cooler?

Assuming all the windows are > closed, is the small roof vent enough to make a difference? Yes, it helps. Try cracking the side windows just a bit too. > Yes, it helps. Try cracking the side windows just a bit too. With a hammer, of course ;) |
