Summer accessories FAQ (including window tint and Florida law)

When the sun is relentless, the right gear protects both your comfort and your interior. The Parts Department at City Kia stocks genuine OEM parts and can order accessories designed specifically for your model. Here are the summer must-haves to ask about and a heads-up that availability varies by model, trim, and year, so it’s always worth confirming fit with the parts team.

A windshield sunshade is the simplest way to keep your cabin and steering wheel from baking while you’re at work or in the parks. A custom-fit Kia sunshade is sized for your model’s glass for better coverage than a generic one, and it helps protect your dash and seats from prolonged UV exposure. It’s a small, low-cost item that pays off every single afternoon in Orlando.

Side window deflectors let you crack the windows to vent built-up hot air even during a quick summer downpour. without letting rain pour in. They’re a popular warm-climate add-on and are available for many Kia models; ask the parts team which deflectors fit yours.

Summer means sandy feet from the beach, melting popsicles, sunscreen, and afternoon storms tracked into the cabin. Genuine Kia all-weather floor mats and a cargo liner are molded to fit your specific model, trapping water and mess so your carpet stays protected and easy to wipe clean. They’re among the most practical year-round accessories for a Florida Kia.

Your air conditioning works overtime here, and a clogged cabin air filter makes it work even harder while reducing airflow. Replacing it with a genuine Kia cabin air filter helps keep cold air moving strongly and the cabin smelling fresh, a small part with an outsized comfort impact in summer.

If your Kia is equipped with remote start or the Kia Connect app’s remote climate feature, you can cool the cabin before you ever open the door, a game-changer when the car has been sitting in a parking lot all day. Not sure whether your vehicle is equipped? The City Kia team can tell you what’s available for your model.

On the Sportage, Sorento, Telluride, and other Kia SUVs, a cargo cover keeps groceries, gear, and valuables out of direct sunlight (and out of sight). It helps keep heat-sensitive items shaded on the drive home from the store.

The City Kia Parts Department stocks a wide selection of genuine OEM parts, and if something isn’t in stock, the team can order it for you. Genuine Kia accessories are engineered to fit your exact model and finish, so a sunshade actually covers the glass and floor mats actually sit flush. Because our parts and service teams design and test our parts for your vehicle, they can also explain how a specific accessory relates to your warranty coverage. When you want the right fit the first time, the factory accessory is the safe bet.

What’s the best Kia accessory for Orlando heat?
A custom-fit windshield sunshade is the easiest win and keeps your cabin, dash, and steering wheel cooler every time you park. Pair it with all-weather floor mats and a fresh cabin air filter for the biggest summer comfort upgrade.

​Can I order Kia accessories online?

​Does City Kia install accessories?
Many accessories, like sunshades and floor mats, are simple to install yourself. For parts that require fitting, ask the Parts Department or Service Center about installation when you order.

​Is window tint a good idea for the heat, and is it legal in Florida?
Tint can help with heat and glare, but it isn’t a standard genuine Kia accessory and Florida regulates how dark window tint can be (measured by visible light transmission, with different limits for the windshield, front, and rear windows). If you’re considering tint, have it done professionally and make sure it complies with current Florida law. Ask our team if you’d like a recommendation.

​Will aftermarket accessories affect my warranty?
Genuine Kia accessories are designed and tested for your vehicle, which is why we recommend them. If you have questions about how a specific accessory relates to your coverage, our parts and service teams can walk you through it.​
