I live in Southern California and many of us order front and rear dash board covers to protect them from the sun. I have a friend who makes steering wheel covers using Insula-bright. I keep an oven mitt to prevent burning my fingers when using the gear shift. The interior of the car can quickly reach 140F to 150F from early spring until late fall. There are laws against leaving children, elderly or pets in parked cars as the extreme heat can quickly cause death.
