Title: Re: Do you tint your wind shield ?
Post by: Olde English on June 09, 2017, 01:08:24 pm
  We have the double window set up with the heavy tint on the inside panes, it works well as a privacy barrier standing outside nothing of the coach interior is visible unless it's night and the interior lights are on.
  Basic physics tells us that the less light let in lowers the temp however marginal it's a reduction, lower light volume slows down fading.
  When I need to see clearly whats outside I slide the inside window pane out of the way. My tint guy who does our cars told me to clean the tinted surfaces with an Ammonia Free cleaner.

" I can see clearly now, the pane is gone "    :thumbsup:

  This topic of tinting side and double pane windows provoked an idea, sometimes dangerous but in this case one to act on. I'm talking about my windscreen and thinking why haven't I done the coach like the trucks with 1 foot or so of mirror tint at the top of the glass. Should help the cooling right ? and providing it's above eye level when I'm in the saddle then I'll be good to go  b^.^d

DW is an avid photographer so any color change would be an issue
