Question about window tinting
My factory windows are dark but not reflective. My uneducated thought is that the dark actually creates more heat. Would a reflective window tint film be an improvement?

I CANT BELIEVE THERE IS A LAW AGAINST TINTING THE WINDOWS OF A TRAILER?? THE IDEA OF THAT IS CRAZY..
Well as I said laws covering the DARKNESS of the tint gernrslly only before the "B" pillar. since the trailer is several FEET behind the B pillar. they do not apply.
However reflective tint can cause an episode of CHiPS
in this episode a truck transporting a Mirror crossed a bridge at just the right time to reflect the sun into someone's eyes and caused a serious accident.. The reconstruction team figured it out. .
I can see it happening... True story
I was headed from N.W. Detroit to a Campground in Jackson County MI.. As I approached the west end M-14 where it dumped onto I-94 west there is a Radio tower south of the Freeway. It appeared to be on fire.. I though what the Q)#E$. then OH! and grabbed a pair of polaroid clip on sun glasses and put them on OVER my photo gray X (Already at max dark) Glasses.
As I turned into the setting sun my wife cried out in pain (I was prepared so no problem)
That's can also happen from the reflection off a reflective tint.
