ABSTRACT:
Heat blocker system and methods are provided for preventing heat flow into the passenger compartment (118) of a vehicle (10) to reduce a heat buildup therein. A hole (12) may be formed in the door jamb region (16) or other convenient place that is not visible. A tubular insertion member (66) may then be inserted through the hole (12) to an exterior panel cavity (26). Insulation material (68), such as liquid polyurethane resin or other suitable materials, is injected into the panel cavity (26) and allowed to expand and harden. The hole (12) is then anodized or otherwise cleaned. A plug (62 or 64) may be used to cover the hole (12). The type of plug chosen depends on the location of the hole. A heat reflective cover (110) is secured on the exterior surface (112) of the windshield (114) to prevent heat from entering through the windshield (114). The cover (110) has a heat reflective coating (116) such as a metallic silver coating. Cover (110) is secured in place with strips of hook and loop fasteners commercially available under the name of VELCRO.RTM. (120) that can be positioned for each individual vehicle (10). Cover (110) is then locked into position by closing the doors (132 and 134) over the wing flaps (122 and 126). Cover (110) is separated from the windshield (114) to provide a gap (A) between the windshield (114) and the cover (110).
