I haven’t noticed that issue, but I haven’t been here for a summer yet and the temperatures haven’t been high enough to be of concern yet.

What's your windshield tint percentage, i.e. how much light is allowed?

Before /After
Just another option, I had Llumar Air blue 80 installed on my windshield and it's barely noticeable from a tint perspective. At night/dusk looking in, you can tell it's tinted, but you really have to be looking. Looking out, completely fine, you won't notice it. One thing to note is if you have polarized sunglasses, some colors will be affected. White cars have a purple/pink hue to them. Doesn't bother ya, but was a bit odd till I figured out there can't be that many pink cars on the road. Haha

I did the windshield for the same reason, heat coming in, so far so it's been great.

Gorgeous man. Welcome back to the states. So far I've only had the suntek on the fronts and windshield. Sill need to tint the sunroof and the rest of the windows. But that line was $400. I was afraid to do any more at the time. Couldn't fathom $1000 for tint haha. The windshield was clutch though.

Thanks for the recommendations/options. I was thinking MPBK but also considering the recommendations you made other than the chargepipe, unless it won’t cause a CEL.

Chargepipe won't cause CEL.

MPBK is a must too.
