172CUP SUMMER INTERIOR ROASTING HOT TIPS?

[CupRacer172]

I've had the car since day one and it never ceases to amaze me just how hot the interior gets - has anyone made any mods to increase heating insulation ?

I want to drive into Europe for a road trip but may have to wait until september october :/ to survive melting away -

I just go with the windows down & drive faster method as there's sod all else you can do about it 😂

You’ve had the car 20+ years and now you want to do something about it 😂

Surely insulation will make it hotter rather than colder. Just get a sun shade for when you aren’t using it if you insist on reducing cabin temps. And as above when you are mooching about.

I didn’t have an issue in my old one which I used daily, it was a bit stuffy but once a breeze had gotten through it, it was ok. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Theres nothing you can do apart from either fit a/c or sell it for one with a/c.

Buy a 182 instead

Buy a 182. The aircon won't work mind.

Surprised nobody's mentioned this but a 172 with aircon is always an option

Park in the shade if possible, fold seats, leave windows slightly open, use sun shade. I have a 172 without AC but I am Greek and used to it at this point.

That just makes the car insanely fast.
