Your windshield is the largest piece of glass on your vehicle and the biggest source of heat and glare while driving. BestAutoTechs installs clear ceramic IR windshield tint that blocks significant heat without changing the appearance of your glass or reducing nighttime visibility.
Windshield tinting is the application of a clear or nearly invisible ceramic film to a vehicle's front windshield to block solar heat and ultraviolet radiation without reducing visibility. In California, windshield tint must allow at least 70% visible light transmission (VLT) to remain legal under Vehicle Code Section 26708. HiTek Ceramic IR film in the 70% VLT shade blocks up to 60% of solar heat and 99% of UV rays while maintaining crystal-clear optical quality. The film is fully compatible with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), rain sensors, heads-up displays, and toll transponders. Installation takes 1–2 hours and includes a lifetime warranty.
We use a high-clarity ceramic IR film at 70% VLT (visible light transmission) or higher for windshield applications. This film is nearly invisible — you won't notice it's there visually, but you'll immediately feel the difference in cabin temperature. The ceramic nano-particles in the film block infrared heat while allowing visible light to pass through clearly.
California law requires windshields to allow at least 70% of light through. Our clear ceramic windshield film meets this requirement when applied to factory glass that already transmits 70% or more visible light. For vehicles with slightly tinted factory glass, we measure the existing transmission before installation to ensure compliance. Drivers with a medical window tint exemption may be eligible for darker windshield tinting.
Windshield tinting is especially popular with Tesla owners, since Tesla's large windshields let in considerable heat. We also see strong demand from owners of BMWs, Mercedes, Porsches, and other vehicles with expansive windshield glass. Pair windshield tint with a full ceramic tint package for maximum heat reduction.
