tinted windshield

[Travis B]

Uhh Steve, I belive you are talking about tempered glass, used in doors, quarters and rear windshields. The glass is substantially stronger, but it is designed to break and fall away. Winshields are laminated, two layers of glass with a layer of plastic in between, meaning that they are designed to stay together when they break. Also, if you head goes through it due to an impact, and your body stays inside, when your body gets thrown back into the seat there is a very good chance of your head remaining on your hood. Putting tint on a windshield would probably increase the force of an impact. I don't recommend it, due to visibility issues, but it was never said if the 30% was light reflectiveness (would be pretty light, practically legal), or light transmittance (pretty dark, deffinitely illegal).

the 30% is pretty light...20% comes on factory vehicles on every window except the windshield and drivers and passengers doors. Here is a pic of my truck it has 5% on the back glass 20% on the sides and 45% on the windshield.



If you look close you can see the steering wheel and my hat on the dash
