I'm considering getting "clear" ceramic tint on my windshield to reduce the heat coming into the car and to reduce UVA light entering the cabin.

A number of very good local tint shops offer this service.

If you have had this done or decided not to have this done, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Cheers!

 

Would it cause reflection? I once put on a coat of liquid glass auto polish on the windshield and saw reflections clearly.

 

Supposedly no. Among other things that are touted is a reduction of glare.

 

had windshield tinted as part of tint job. I like it and as it was explained to me a lot of heat would come in an untinted windshield.

 

I have my windshield tinted with 70% ceramic and there is some reflection but no more than before from what I can remember. Overall I am happy with it and hope it helps preserve the dash. It looks great from the outside too.

 

How does this work? Is the tint applied to the outside or inside of the glass?

 

You can even put the ceramic tint on the inside window and a clear bra film on the outside to protect from rock chips.

 

I have XPEL Blue 70% Ceramic on my windshield, as well as all other positions, and I love it. Makes a big difference here in AZ.

 

Won't the wipers leave scratches or weird marks if tint is on the windshield? I've only had my side windows tinted.

 

The windshield would be tinted on the inside, just like your side windows were tinted.

 

All my vehicles have 5% all around and 35% on the windshield. The windshield tint does help and make a difference especially rainy nights when traveling in a well lit suburban area. Find someone with a tinted windshield and go for a ride night/day and see how you like it.

 

I would do so, but I don't think it's allowed in my country or state (Vic, Australia). I have the glare coming from the dash, which actually hinders my visibility on the road. I am now considering one of those dash mats, but personally I hate the look of them.

 

Not the LS, but I have 70% ceramic tint on my GX windshield. It’s justttt dark enough to take away the edge on sunny days when I forget my sunglasses and takes away some of the heat coming in from the sun. It doesn’t hinder visibility at night or in the rain. Worthwhile mod I think.

 

I hade mine tinted for awhile and loved it… but a few rock chips later and a crack it was money gone with the new windshield. Loved it while I had it though lol.

 

I always run 50% ceramic on my windshields, love it
