The Hidden Damage Florida Sun Is Doing to Your Vehicle (And How to Stop It)
If you live in North Florida, you already know the sun isn’t playing around. Whether you’re driving through Gainesville, Ocala, Lake City, or anywhere in the 352 or 386 area codes, the Florida heat is brutal year-round.
It’s not just heat damaging your car — it’s ultraviolet (UV) and infrared radiation slowly destroying your interior every single day.
From faded seats to cracked dashboards, the damage adds up fast. Let’s break down what’s really happening and how professional window tinting can protect your investment.
What the Florida Sun Is Really Doing to Your Car
1. Extreme Interior Temperatures
In Florida, cabin temperatures can reach 130–160°F in minutes. This causes:
- Burning hot steering wheels
- Overheated seats
- Electronics overheating
- AC systems working overtime
2. UV Radiation Damage
UV rays are the same rays that cause skin cancer and premature aging. Inside your vehicle, they:
- Fade leather and cloth seats
- Dry out dashboards
- Cause cracking and peeling
- Damage plastic trim
- Break down adhesives
Factory glass blocks some UV, but not enough to fully protect your interior or your skin.
3. Infrared Heat Penetration
Infrared radiation is what causes that deep, uncomfortable heat you feel inside your car. This leads to:
- Constant AC usage
- Higher fuel consumption
- Uncomfortable drives
- Heat fatigue
The Long-Term Cost of Sun Damage
- Reupholstering seats
- Dashboard replacement
- Faded door panels
- Cracked center consoles
- Lower resale value
- AC system wear
