If I get pulled over, that’s not the message I want to be sending! Of course, a clear or nearly clear film that blocks UV light would be healthier for upholstery and skin and would not be a problem if you are pulled over. It doesn’t reduce heat in the car very much, but we do have air-conditioners.

I discovered some years ago that when I’m driving, my sunglasses eliminate glare and lots of the light and make driving so much more pleasant. However, sunlight was sometimes blinding me from the side when the sun was low and coming from the side. I figured out that for the most part, it was only causing a problem through the top couple inches of my side window. (I’m tall. If you can barely see over the steering wheel, it would be more of the window.) I installed a two inch strip of the darkest tint at the top of my side window. It may look slightly odd, but it solves the problem almost completely while letting police officers see into my car. There are no laws against even the darkest tint if it’s only a narrow strip.

You do know the Police have tinted windows so as long as your within the legal parameters, no harm and no foul.
