WHAT WE THINK
It was during our first lap of the map years ago when we realised how hot the inside of a vehicle can get , especially up north . We tried all sorts of ways to stop the sun from getting in the vehicle . We tried things like cardboard , corflute , towels , and even simple windscreen shades .
Each helped to some degree , but were not anything to write home about . We stumbled across Solarscreen after seeing it being used on a 4WD in the Kimberley . We learnt how good they were after speaking with the vehicle ’ s owner , so we enquired about getting a set made for our Pajero . We remember the day we fitted them while staying in a Kununurra caravan park after collecting our parcel from a local post office . They fitted nice and snug around the Paj ’ s windows and door openings , and blocked the light and the direct sun . They worked a treat ! The temperature difference inside the vehicle was noticed immediately , so we knew we were onto a good thing .
We ’ ve also found fitting Solarscreens has provided an additional bonus or two . Wagons , such as our Paj , have numerous large windows . We used to be somewhat conscious of travelling with a carload of gear that could easily be seen when left unattended . Although our vehicle ’ s windows are tinted , we ’ re grateful the screens further prevent prying eyes from seeing inside the vehicle . Another thing : we also like how the screens have helped with sound absorption . Acoustics inside the vehicle have also improved thanks to the screens , and they ’ ve also played a part in reducing outside road noise as well . Simple tasks like talking and listening to audiobooks or bopping along to our travel playlist tunes are even now more enjoyable .
