Thread: Tint on Front Windshield?

I'm orig from NW and never heard of tinting a front windshield.

Spoke with someone local who says it really cuts glare and keeps it cooler inside. Anyone have experience with this. I forget what percent he said he used, but believe it was normally 50% and he went with 35%. He said he didn't have problems with night visibility.

I got 35% on my DD & i love it.

i have had for years tint on the windshield on all my cars. always 50%. Just took it off my p car cause the cops have been pulling me over like crazy the last couple of months just for tint.

Always have the windshield done and I'm fron the NW. 50% is what I go with. Love it

Dont do it. Depending on where you live and what insurance company you have if you get into an accident with the front windshield tinted; your insurance company will not cover you since it violates their terms of service. Only way you can legally use it is if you get a prescription from your eye doctor. I would call your insurance company first before you do anything you might later regret.

I have 20% on my Cobra, including 20% on the sides and have 35% on my Escalade, including 3% on the sides.

I would definitely recommend it, at least 50%. It will keep it much cooler and looks great.

In Illinois you'd get pull over in a heart beat, but it looks awesome!

i'd not do it. ticket magnet big time. i get tickets from side windows let alone windshield.

if you do proceed, do a light tint. less likely to be found.

some shops offer a clear bra like film to be applied on the outside of the windshield. this avoids rock chips on windshield. different purpose and i dont think it offers tinting.

btw, all glass provides 99% UV blocking. if you are concerned about sun damage or temp while parked, get a $15 heat shield.

Damn mixed bag here! Not sold on doing it yet that's for sure. While I already have cop magnets by w/ bright ass dark blue license plates cuz my cars are licensed through an LLC in another state that's tax friendly to an extreme, I guess adding front window tint as well really can't be any more of a draw than the noise level and strange ass plates!

Djantlive - thought my avatar looked okay til i saw yours! Now I'm gonna have to follow suit and find some clad wearin' models for a photo shoot!

They are extremely strict here on window tint in NY. I don't think I've ever seen front window tint at all.
