Sun protection for X7
Hey everyone,
I am planning to take the X7 to a pretty hot place and keep it under the sun the whole day. What's your recommended products to keep the car covered and protect its paint? Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks. |

just remember, unless your car is and will stay perfectly clean, covers will grind grit and dirt into the paint. this will be far more damaging to the paint than the sun.
basically outdoors covers will do more harm than good as any dirt thats either on the paint or gets blown under the cover will turn into sand paper as the wind blows and moves the cover.

Thanks guys. I think it's better to let the car sit under the sun.

I used this sunshade for my windshield and I can confirm it fits perfectly for the X7 and is ideal for what you’re looking for. It made a huge difference in lowering interior temp and was easy to fold away.

WeatherTech sun protector for windscreen was about $65 plus shipping for XB7 when I ordered one a couple weeks ago. That screen really works here in the Florida sun.
