Unfortunately, this isn't always possible, especially when our home doesn't have a garage or covered car park. One of the questions that then arises is: <strong>Will my beautiful car be damaged by the weather?<\/strong> Thanks to AdopteUnParking, you can find out all about the weather.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can damage my car?<\/h2><p>Who says <strong>parking<\/strong> <strong>exterior<\/strong> also means possible damage. Rain, hail, snow and cold are bad enough for us, but they're not so good for our little cars that sleep outside either. Even the sun can damage them. So <strong>how best to protect our car<\/strong> the weather?<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What damage can bad weather cause?<\/h3><p>It's easy to imagine what can happen when the <strong>hail<\/strong> scratches, dents or even cracks in the bumper or broken glass. The <strong>cold and especially frost<\/strong> can also damage your vehicle, and more specifically your windows. Windscreens don't like the alternation between hot and cold at all, and risk cracking. If your vehicle remains <strong>parked in the same place<\/strong> for a while, rain or snow can cause serious damage. <strong>erosion<\/strong> or the <strong>mould<\/strong> can form. The <strong>strong gusts of wind<\/strong> can cause objects to fall back onto your vehicle and cause scratches or dents. <\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can good weather do damage?<\/h3><p>We're talking about bad weather, but good weather can also be a problem. <strong>damage<\/strong> your car. We know that <strong>sun<\/strong> is not good for the skin. Who hasn't suffered from sunburn? The UV rays that attack your skin are the same ones that will also <strong>damage the paint<\/strong> of your bodywork. We also advise you to<strong>avoid parking under trees<\/strong>. In summer it's nicer because the car doesn't turn into an oven, but you run the risk of finding it covered with <strong>bird droppings<\/strong> (corrosive to paint) but also of <strong>sap<\/strong> (corrosive and difficult to remove). What's more, we're never safe from a <strong>falling branches.<\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can I do?<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to prevent damage:<\/h3><p>If you're not lucky enough to be able to park your vehicle in a sheltered spot, whether on a porch, in a garage or in a<strong> indoor parking<\/strong>there is an alternative: the <strong>protective cover.<\/strong> There's something to suit every taste and budget. If your car is going to be parked in the same place for a long time, the <strong>protects bodywork and windows<\/strong>. The car is protected from the elements, but also from the sun. You can find affordable covers or custom-made covers for optimum protection. If you have the option, you can choose to install a <strong>carport<\/strong>. It's a sort of covered area where you can keep your vehicle. You should know that some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adopteunparking.com\/en_gb\/car-parks\/nantes-atlantique\">our partners as in Nantes<\/a> offer a <strong>indoor parking<\/strong>so your vehicle will be <strong>protected in bad weather<\/strong>.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can the damage be repaired?<\/h3><p>If your vehicle has suffered damage during bad weather, you will need to <strong>turn to your insurance company<\/strong>. Compensation will depend on your <strong>car insurance <\/strong>but also <strong>zone<\/strong> where the vehicle was parked. There are several guarantees: the <strong>storm cover<\/strong>the <strong>glass breakage cover<\/strong> but also the <strong>natural disaster cover<\/strong>. Storm cover allows you to be compensated in the event of bad weather (such as hail). However, the storm must have affected <strong>several vehicles and\/or homes <\/strong>within a radius of at least 5km of your vehicle, or if the wind has blown at <strong>over 100 km\/h<\/strong>. Glass breakage cover will enable you to change your windscreen in the event of<strong> crack\/impact<\/strong>. Natural disaster cover allows you to be compensated if a natural disaster occurs. <strong>A state of natural disaster has been declared by the Council of Ministers<\/strong>. In this case, you have 10 days to declare the damage to your insurance company.<\/p><p>The best way is to find a <strong>sheltered parking <\/strong>but if that's not possible, try to <strong>keep an eye on the weather<\/strong> and protect your vehicle in case of need. You can try to find a plan B in case of bad weather so that your vehicle is sheltered if necessary.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We'd all like to protect our car against all odds, to keep it looking as good as new throughout its life, gleaming and sparkling like the day it was bought.
