Tricky, may help with contact heat but I wonder how much it actually rejects from the total cabin rejection cant hurt. I have had my rear and sides tinted with 5% and windshield with 15% lumar. Did wonders, but I have been ticketed about a million times. I did finally take the windshield tint of because that's what was getting me.

so far this project has only cost me $30 for 2 big rolls of reflectrix.

Also when I run out of aluminum tape that may add to the cost as well

Anyone considering clear tint on your windshield please be advised of the risk of cracking your windshield. I had clear tint installed on my OEM windshield. It did help in reducing heat buildup but the price that I paid was having to buy a new windshield when I got a very small rock chip. The glass cracked the very same day while the car was parked. The tint changes the way that the glass dissipates heat and makes it prone to cracking ( as explained to me by windshield repair tech). He said further that even if the glass hadn't cracked he could not have repaired the chip in the glass because the resin that is used requires heating from the inside of the glass.

Just something to think about before tinting your windshield.
