Just about all automotive glass is now 99% UV proof, however, the infra red rays can do a lot of damage to your upholstery and plastics.
I'm in the same boat as Charlie Brown. When the car's being dríven, the roof and windows are usually down, so the tinit wouldn't have much effect, except to me, tinted windows look silly on a convertible, especially when the roof is down and the windows are up.
Is it worth getting windows tinted

not on black they don't benny........AND on really hot summer days, they make a HUGE difference to cabin temp & sunburn, even with the roof down................the original question was a bit silly IMO, these things are usually a personal preference anyway......do ya wanna spend the money or not???.........up to you i say 


Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often

Our car has the darkest legal tint but when the roof is down the windows look a lot lighter

But with the roof up it's harder for people to see in

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
