You may have thought that keeping your window up in the summer will help protect you from the sun's UV rays, but new research says different.

Only four of the nearly 30 cars researchers tested blocked more than 90 percent of the rays.
Chief Health Editor Dr. Partha Nandi joined The Now Detroit to talk more about the research.
