Sometimes on the road you can come across cars with a very strange tuning at first sight. But on closer inspection, but also after a conversation with the driver, everything falls into place. And what used to seem exaggerated and kitsch is in fact an essential necessity. For example, external visors that motorists mount on the windshield and rear windows. Portal “AutoVzglyad” discovered their true purpose.
Drivers have always been inclined to embellish their cars. In reality, however, what everyone around finds indulgence and excess turns out to be an extremely important option for the owner of a vehicle that has been given a strange set-up for others. We are talking about visors, which some motorists install on the windshield and rear windows from the outside.
So let’s take a closer look at this accessory. The outer visor for the windshield is essentially no different from the sun visor installed in the car or the tinted strip on the top of the glass. Its vocation is to protect the driver’s eyes from dazzling rays. However, such a visor will not work in the morning and in the evening when the sun is close to the horizon. And here you can not do without sunglasses. The outer visor also does not protect against the headlights of oncoming traffic.
Another function of this deflector is beauty. Some drivers find that their car looks more attractive. And they don’t care about the possible aerodynamic noise that can occur. Because the exterior beauty of the car is at the top of their Must Have list.
But if the front visor is meant to keep out the sun, what is the rear visor for? And here are a few more options.
For example, some rear visors fit well against the glass. These are posted for beauty only. Usually they are painted in body color so that they do not stand out, but complement the look of the car.
But there are distractors. Their shape is more pronounced, more meaningful and indicates some kind of advantage and functionality. As a rule, this diverts the incoming airflow a little further – behind the rear window, thus protecting it from the accumulation of dust, dirt and excess moisture. Because it is made using special technology and has a certain anatomy, a real working visor directs water that rolls from the roof to the edges of the glass down into drainage grooves.
The deflector, if it is expensive and real engineers have worked on its invention, and not just artists or Chinese designers from home, performs, among other things, the function of improving the aerodynamic properties – in particular, it increases the downforce, which in turn affects the better road holding and other handling characteristics of the car.
And of course, unlike what hangs over the “lobash”, this spoiler definitely improves the look of the car, making it more aggressive and sporty.
