Anyone tinted windshield could share some feedback? Maybe 70%?
50% windshield, 20% front windows, 35% on top of back of car on top of stock tint. No problems driving at night. In fact it is barely noticeable in my opinion. Driving on bright days I even use sunglasses still. I had 70% done but got a crack in my windshield and went to 50% because you could barely notice it at 70%

Thanks. Did you do sunroof by chance? i heard people say tinting would cause it to crack. But my many pros say it won't be an issue at all. Pano sunroof is a pain during summer in TX!

Nope... But I live in the Seattle area so I'm not super worried about that. I'm just happy when it is sunny out.
I did the sunroof last fall when I got my car. Survived the hot Utah summer with intense sun without cracking - hopefully that doesn't happen in the future. I cant remember whether I ended up with 20% or 35% tint up there. I THINK it helps, but since I did it as soon as I bought the car I don't have a direct comparison to know by how much.
I also did my front windshield, I think at 70%. I agree that it is barely noticeable in appearance, but I think do think it helps with heat and even with sun intensity. I used to NEVER drive without sunglasses, but now I do no occasion, especially if not in full sun. It is technically illegal in many states (including mine) so I went with the lightest tint to get the heat protection without potentially causing a fix-it ticket, or worse.
I had the sunroof and the windshield tinted as well - highly recommend doing so. Like others had mentioned, windshield tint did not impact my HUD in any way. Windshield 50%, front windows and sunroof at 35%
