I'm certain my totalled '14 had 25% all around. I found that too dark for a lot of my urban areas, much less my rural roads.
I can't count the number of times a family with stroller would come from no where to cross at the intersection where I was going to make a RH turn. When I do the front windows on my '17 (currently has nothing) they will be 32%.
I'd rather be a little warm than hitting kids.
You're Canadian, you've only ever had to deal with "a little warm". Atlanta is comparable to Saigon or Bangkok in heat and humidity, in other words, it's horrible lol. I will be more diligent but I really don't see that much of a difference in night time visibility versus my 2014 Mirage, that had 32% all around minus the windshield.Quote:

That was a wild heat dome. The day of the peak the entire town of Litton burned up.Quote:

My shade is 32%, and it's a great option until you have kids. I couldn't afford 25%, and I didn't need it because I live in an area where people only know about the sun from fairy tales. However, when sunny days do come, I have problems with transporting my son. It is quite a long drive from my house to the nearest shopping center, so the baby could sleep at this time, but he is fussy because of the minimal lighting. I ordered the car shade for baby because it looks reliable in the ad. Hopefully, this is my one and last experiment with car glass because I'm satisfied with the tint.
Yeah, but it's a dry heat! Like the quote from the movie Aliens as they were sweating their butts off.Quote:

Had that car nearly 10 years and haven't been pulled over yet about the tint. I guess because it's a big grandpa car and doesn't get noticed.
My plan is, if I ever do get pulled over, the first thing I'll do is drop all 4 windows. With the car turned off, and all 4 windows down, I think an argument could be made that if they can't measure the windows "in plain sight" / as-is, tough noogies. I'd hate to try to make that argument. But that's my plan if it ever comes to pass.
The only problem I have with the tent is, backing up, looking through the glass into the outside mirrors, at night, but only when raining. That's not often.
