Clever hack reveals how to avoid touching burning steering wheel when your car heats up in the sun
DRIVERS have been blown away by a savvy tip to avoid scalding your hands on a burning steering wheel.
As summer temperatures rise, this easy trick could really help when you hop into your hot car in the summer.
DIY influencer account @mightycarmods_official revealed the effortless way to keep your steering wheel out of the sun’s glare.
The TikTok clip begins with one half of the helpful duo, Blair Joscelyne, sitting in the driver’s seat.
He explains: “If you know you’re going to be parked somewhere in the sun and you don’t have anything to cover your steering wheel, once you’ve parked, flip it over 180 degrees.
“That way the underneath of your steering wheel is hitting the sun.”
This, Blair continues, means not only will you “not burn your hands” when you eventually return to your motor, but the upper half of your steering wheel will remain “nice and new looking”.
The nifty trick inspired praise from viewers, with one admitting: “That’s hella smart”.
A second doubled down: “Moog back at it again with the genius take”.
It comes after drivers have been blown away by a viral video revealing how to keep your car cabin cool and save fuel at the same time.
Meanwhile, people are only just discovering a secret hack that helps you find your car in a busy car park.
