Rumor: Is a car with a skylight unsafe? I'll tell you if you can buy a car with a skylight after reading it!

Once upon a time, models with skylights meant class and advanced, and skylights have always been the standard for luxury cars. However, with the decentralization of this equipment, skylights have become the standard of most models, and even panoramic skylights have become the selling point of manufacturers in advertising. At the same time, it is becoming more and more popular that cars without skylights are safer than cars with skylights. Will the skylight affect the safety of the car? What advantages and disadvantages will skylights bring to vehicle use?

Skylights are really harmful, and vehicle safety is irrelevant.

It is unscientific to blindly exaggerate the harm of skylights, but it is a bit exaggerated to say that skylights affect the safety of car bodies. In order to understand what problems the skylight will bring, we must first understand how the skylight is designed. First of all, for a car without a skylight, the roof is an iron, but there are still some transverse reinforcements in this iron. In fact, ordinary skylights also have reinforcements, and in order to increase the strength of the car body, the materials often used will be more expensive, the cost will be higher, and the weight of the car body will increase compared with the same model without skylights.

However, compared with panoramic sunroof, the design and cost will increase a lot, especially in other places, which requires higher requirements for automobile design and material use. When the vehicle collides or rolls, the pressure on the A, B and C columns may be greater, which will not have a decisive impact on vehicle safety. However, because the skylight is mainly glass, the broken glass during rolling is likely to cause harm to the people inside the car, and throwing objects at high altitude will also directly affect the safety inside the car.

The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and service life is the bottleneck.

However, compared with this small probability of harm, the benefits brought by skylight can be said to be more direct and obvious than the benefits. Especially when the car is exposed to the sun in summer, the skylight can ventilate quickly, reducing the influence of formaldehyde volatilized from materials such as seats on the human body. At the same time, the skylight can improve the openness and vision of the rear seats, and can also be used as an escape exit in an emergency.

However, because the skylight has sliding rails, sealing strips and other parts, there is a problem of service life. Many vehicles are likely to have water leakage and switch failure after years of use, which is also a problem that needs to be considered when buying models with skylights. This requires consumers to make more efforts in daily use and later maintenance.

? Reasonable design is very important and needs to be understood before buying a car.

Therefore, as long as the skylight is not cut by consumers themselves, the original skylight design of automobile manufacturers can be trusted. Reasonable design and rigidity that can completely offset the loss of sunroof, coupled with a series of safety tests by car companies, are basically consistent with the safety indicators of sunroof-free models, and will not affect the safety of vehicles as long as they are used normally. On the contrary, the benefits to the improvement of daily use experience are quite obvious.

It is best for consumers to know the safety performance of various models within the budget price before buying a car. After all, most fears come from ignorance. Only by making preparations in advance and fully understanding the advantages and disadvantages brought by skylights will the rumors that skylights affect vehicle safety be shattered.

Summary: With the gradual popularization of skylights, it seems quite difficult to buy a car without skylights now. Consumers don't have to panic about this rumor. If the skylight really affects car safety too much, then various safety assessment agencies and the media will definitely follow up. Rumors stop at the wise, don't believe in rumors, start with me!
