In summer, the sun's rays can cause the vehicle interior to heat up considerably. In addition, the glare from the sun can affect the driver and lead to accidents. Because of this, tinted windows are becoming more and more popular, and many vehicles are being offered with tinted windows. However, not all of them are equipped with darkened windows ex works, which is why there are retrofit options such as films or even completely new windscreens - but beware, not everything is permitted. While tinting car windows has many benefits, there are some limitations: Window tinting itself is permitted and is generally the preferred method of minimizing heat and glare while driving.
