More thoughts about this test planning and a question.
The plan: remove the passenger side of the windshield tint and use an IR Thermometer I am waiting to receive to measure differences in heat on the two sides of the dashboard. I will observe temperatures over several hours to capture not just a moment but the relative rate of change over time.
When I do the test, I think I should (1) park the car facing the rising sun and (2) have both windows cracked open in the same way I have them while driving around in the summer. Open windows mimics my real conditions, but it also might prevent ambient temps inside the car from warming both sides of the dash equally. Does that sound right to people? I could do both open and closed window tests on successive days. Does it matter?
...and now, back to work...
