Tinting front windshield? Yes or no?

[ChrisMcP05]

I’m looking at tinting the front windshield lightly, but was curious if others have done it and if so what % do you go with where you don’t lose visibility at night but gain some benefit of heat reduction and light filtering during ultra sunny days?

No

It’s all personal preference. I’ve had 30,40, and 50.

40 seems perfect

Also, careful how dark the rear is tinted because it will make the windshield appear darker.

On my old truck I had the entire windshield tinted with 70% and then a 5% strip on top. Going to go the same route on my new truck too.

You’re in PA? Never any issue with the police?

I’m given the option of 55 or 45. Was contemplating 55 but never had it done before. I have the back done around 15%. Are you similar?

5% all around

I had 80 and I liked it. Going to do it again.

I have 50 on windshield, no issues. I'll be doing it to all of my future vehicles. My had f150 had 50 on the windshield as well.

Yes, PA.

Knock on wood, no I haven’t. My Lariat was risky with 30 on windshield and 20 over rear windows.

My 22 Raptor I had 40 and 15 on fronts and the rears to match which I believe they used 75. I drove it for a year with no inspection stickers at all.

I have 50% Llumar windshield tint & Clearplex PPF on the outside of the window for protection. Love it!
