Because it blocks out a large part of the UV rays from entering and damaging the interior, etc without impeding visability.

I would have loved to do Llumar clear or really light tint on my front windshield but NH has inspection stickers that go on the window. When you go in for a yearly inspection you'd have to scrape it off ruining the tint. Sucks.

I called my local glass shop and they were telling me about it... 150 bucks but its clear not tinted and according to her it blocks 65-70 percent of uv rays, but what I want is a darker look from the front.. dont care for the uv rays lol

I have clear tint on my windshield, it does help keep it cool in the summer. When I go out to my car later i can take a couple of pictures inside and out.

I originally wanted it dark too. At first I was going to do 5% tint on everything but the front windshield. All the shops I chatted with wouldn't do it, 15% was darkest.

 

Honestly, after driving a few weeks I don't think I'd go down to 5%. If I ever went with anything on the windshield it wouldn't be much, maybe 50% but more likely 70% if they offered it. Pain in the ass seeing out of it at night on any country roads.

 

On the plus side, the left/right and back are all basically pitch black at night so the lady isn't as nervous about laying down in the front seat. To relax of course.

I wish I could get mine tinted, but we have window stickers here in Texas for the windshield. I'm sure I'd ruin the tint every time I got a new sticker.

A good tint shop will cut a hole the size of the sticker. In PA we have stickers on the windshield and I have a hole just for the sticker
