    I really like the editing. Suddenly appearing in frame then stooping down to the camera is original and inviting. Don't let anyone from TikTok give you "advice", you got this.

    This insulation also comes in four foot widths, which should work for most windshields without splicing. It also comes with silver on one side and white on the other. Found in most home improvement store with other insulation material.

    I would glue a black material on one side with a spray glue, cut it out and walla. Stealth and easy.

      Does the black side face the interior?

    • @MrEdwardCollins
      @MrEdwardCollins 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@GardenGirls1 If you want to warm the car, you should put the black side so it faces outside, so it faces the sun. The black color will better help to absorb the sun's rays. If you want to cool the car, do the opposite. The lighter side will reflect the sun's rays.
      Also, if you want to be in "stealth mode," put the black so it faces the outside. When looking at the vehicle from a distance, all you see is black, and it doesn't appear as if there is a shade on the window at all. It just appears dark, as if the windows were tinted.

    Good idea - for the windshield and on the outside - adding ear flaps on each side which the doors can hold in place? Might not last long when windy though!?

  • @GardenGirls1
    @GardenGirls1 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I have something similar to that except it's white on one side, silver reflective on the other. Do you think that's going to be enough insulation value? Again I'm not living in my car I'm going to camp once in awhile. It's more for privacy at this point.

    • @AdamDoesNotExist
      @AdamDoesNotExist  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Depends on how cold it gets. The video I made after this one was me sweating profusely in a snowstorm in Tahoe. But if you're camping in weather far below zero, you might want something more substantial.

    • @AdamDoesNotExist
      @AdamDoesNotExist  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you! It would work great during the day to keep your car cool. It's basically the same material that those windshield sun shades use. As soon as the sun sets, you might be better off with something less insulated. But I'm not sure. I've only used this in winter personally.
