What anti-glare tint would you recommend?
I wish to reduce glare/UV entering through car side windows (driver and passenger). I would be be grateful if you could advise on products. The top quarter of the window would solve the problem as its when the sun is low in the sky that I have a problem. I understand that the law states that 70% of the light must still penetrate.

The law for vehicles first used after April 1 1985 does state that the front side windows must let through at least 70% of light, so this would be the maximum tint you could legally apply. We would suggest searching for a local vehicle tint company that can offer you a suitable product and install it for you, unless you feel confident to carry out the installation yourself.
