Ok, I hate to be a skeptic here, but could someone please explain to me, in bunny rabbit English, exactly how you would feel a draft through a solid piece of glass?@EVinsulate is now officially selling its EVglass solution for the Mach-E. Head on over to evinsulate.com to order yours.
Big thanks to @Mach-Lee for proving the benefits of creating a thermal break for the panoroof to reduce cold weather heat loss/convection cooling of the cabin here: https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...ing-taking-requests.24393/page-10#post-595252
@EVinsulate created the EVglass kit for the Mach-E working with owners in Ontario here: https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...-work-with-evinsulate-for-a-mach-e-kit.33596/
I and a few other members so far have purchased and installed the EVglass kit on our Mach-Es and so far the results are fantastic. It maintains the factory look and feel of the cabin while dramatically reducing the draft you feel off the panoroof in the winter and at highway speeds. The kit was fantastic, well thought out, and very well made. Follow the instructions fully and take your time with prep and install is a snap. I give it 5 stars.
The interior glass feeling colder (which it absolutely does, as I learned last Winter and this Winter driving thru Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, Maine etc.) chills the cabin air, which in turn creates convection currents up & down across the cabin which chill said cabin air even further. Those cold convection air currents might feel like a slight draft as they waft across our exposed skin areas.
I'll update when I get it installed.
Much like the way I feel hot waves of air from the dashboard and roof. It's hottest if you touch it, but it heats about 1 to 2 inches from the glass, the ac blows that air around (or the heater) to it's waves of hotter or colder air. I waffled for hours on this. I figure it's really a much better looking version of the $50 sunshade thing I have.
Thank you! And your bunny rabbit English is perfect! ? I withdraw my earlier criticism. I don’t live in a super-cold climate, so I’ve never noticed any drafts. We do have hot summers and the cabin is always noticeably cooler than the cabin on my escape was.
No I haven't seen any condensation. The only thing I have seen is slight haze frost form on the panoroof glass when it's extremely cold and at highway speeds. when it warms up or the sun hits it that goes away again.
Thanks for this. Sounds like a good product, but not something I’ll need in Virginia.
The roof blocks a lot of the solar radiation but it isn't IRR. You're in AZ so why are you buying it again? I'd be concerned about trapping too much heat under the glass and causing it to shatter from thermal stress. This is primarily a cold weather climate product.
You wouldn't happen to know what the relative humidity was when you installed it, would you? I'm guessing Manitoba may be pretty dry, especially if it was installed in the winter...?
Yes our winters are fairly dry here and it was I think -10c outside when I installed it (right before a cold snap to below -20c) so it would have been pretty dry outside.
Thanks! That's very useful information. I doubt I'll get one unless I go on a winter road trip, but the humidity here in San Francisco is almost always well over 50% (currently 86%), so it's a factor.
