Best tint for the front windshield is Huper Optic. Think that's how it's spelled. Put it inside AND outside. Mine is 8mm I think. On the outside. It's that thicker kind business put on their glass for quick repair of vandalism. Helps with rain water too. We did I think 6mm for the front side glass. Something thinner. In the outside. That didn't work out for some reason. Had to peel it off. And I can't roll windows down. So that's not why. Maybe it was a different brand. Either way the front with thick clear Huper is great. Rear areas have darkest Pinnacle ceramic tint. Also great stuff. Soaked the original rubber in 303 Protectorant for days and days. Meaning with a cloth. Not in a tub. Reused it with no problems. Be careful to make sure you have the felt protection for the front side glass. Otherwise you'll scratch the heck out of that glass. Upon roll up/down, and even upon install. The rubber there has to be replaced upon removal.
