Just to stress this, tinting is a very good idea. Also, our GL is white, including white roof. This really helps, along with a cardboard window shade. The van is bearable inside even after sitting in the sun all day. The black Talon, on the other hand, is an oven under the same conditions, esp. with dark interior. Sun shade is a must if you want to touch the steering wheel and shifter. -Karl Ivan Boyd <boyd@unm.edu> wrote: > I had all the windows tinted on my '85 Westi and it makes a big difference > in the heat in the car.
