    Window tint is absolutely a game changer in sunny climates. I have ceramic window tint installed on every vehicle I buy, including the windshield. It not only makes the interior of the vehicle more comfortable, but it blocks the harmful UV and IR rays that damage your skin, eyes and vehicle upholstery. It must be ceramic based tint for proper UV/IR blocking. Good move!

    We've been talking about tinting our van windows for a couple years now. Same as you - "oh, it'll be expensive, etc., etc." We're in the Keys right now and we are absolutely going to get ours tinted as soon as we get back to Central Florida, later this week. Thanks for the nudge!

    We just bought a car with all rear windows tinted. I never gave it a thought till I realized no one can see our dog in his back seat bed. Excellent!
    Now might get rest of windows done. Enjoy

    When I got my Jetta tinted I also had them do a 90% strip about 6" or 8" wide at the top of the windshield. It cut sun glare and the need to use the sunvisor by 80%.
    Safe travels!

      Tint Actions in Ocala, Florida but there are plenty around Florida. I believe the legal windshield stuff is called non reflective but still blocks the same heat and uv as the tinted. Each state has different laws on darkness of tint. Any tinter should be able to help you out.

    • @michaelscarfi3196
      @michaelscarfi3196 2 роки тому +2

      I did the lightest ceramic on my three sprinter windows so it would match and it wouldn’t look tinted. I feel like that was a mistake. Should have went darker but I was concerned about night driving. As you get older this is an issue.

    Ceramic window tinting seems like a must for van dwellers. Glad you guys got it done. Can't wait for details of your new adventure. I'm on pins and needles. Still can't do much physically because of my broken rib and surgically repaired collarbone. Sat on a recumbent bike for 15 minutes Friday. My rib hurt all the next day. I'm guessing Dave, after your bicycle accident, it was hard to sit still and just heal? So... I'm relying on you guys to take me out and about on adventures till I'm cleared to get out and climb this summer. Carey On!
