   I put dark limo tint on my van's windshield and it works great.   If you
must see something up high in front of you, you have to 'change focus' a
little, like when driving past a beautiful mountain range....but if you
look, you can see perfectly well through the tint, you just have to 'tune
in'...and when driving west late or east early, I rarely even have to
deploy my sun visor inside.   Cooler inside, too.   I did it myself, not
hard at all using Chain Auto Parts window tint.
