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?

Super Dave. did you read my post about turning into the setting sun.
I've had sunlight reflect off vehicles and cause me to have to use skills to see. I'm generally aware of my surrounds so it did not cause a problem but it could have.. Like in the Sunset story above... I was aware so prepared.. Wife was not.. I kind of feel sorry for other drivers who were not.
That is no worse than the folks who have super high gloss buffed and shined paint on their vehicle and you get major glare reflected back at you..
Have been blinded many times over the yrs from folks that spend 90% of their life polishing their vehicles..
Are you gonna outlaw high gloss paint jobs and waxes?
Even plain car window glass when the sun is in the wrong place can blind you, are you gonna outlaw glossy glass?
Glare IS a fact of life if you are going to be driving, if glare is that bad, step on the brakes and backoff the behind of the driver in front of you and the glare will be reduced or at least moved away from your line of sight.
There is zero laws about reflective tints, just DARK "limo black" and those laws do not apply for windows behind the driver seat nor do they apply to trailers of any type.
