Windows and Doors 

There is an easy trick that you can use to let some of the hot air out of your car. If you crack the window open a little bit, you will let hot air escape and make it more tolerable inside. You can also open the car door and let the heat out before stepping inside so that you’re not sweating once you get behind the wheel. 

Equipment 

The reason your car heats up so much in the summer is because of the sunlight hitting your vehicle. You can help your vehicle stay cool by investing in a sun shade that you can hang across your windshield from the inside. There are also solar-powered fans that can be helpful by giving you cool while the air conditioning gets ready. 

Tricks 

There are other, simpler ways to get your car out of the heat. You can, of course, park your vehicle in the shade, under a tree, or in a parking garage to give its interior a more comfortable temperature. You can also cover your seats with towels or blankets to avoid hot-to-the-touch surfaces.
