Motorists have been told to place a common household towel over their steering wheels this weekend with the key component set to be “unbearable to touch” due to the weather.
Or use a reflective window shade and keep all the interior cooler?
I used to own an EP3 Honda Civic which had a metal gear stick knob; anyone familiar with that generation Civic would know, it sprouted from the dashboard, and was almost as high as the centre of the steering wheel. That thing would catch the sun, even on cool days, and got so hot, it was actually unbearable to touch. Sleeves, a cloth or a glove were hastily applied until it cooled down.
