Heated from Windshield and tint?

[Agarabaghi]

So I live in FL and it gets VERY hot during the summer. I was wondering if anyone has tinted their front windshield with the new UV film?

Basically im wondering if the heating element on the windshield will ruin the tint (aka melt it)

If it works on any other cars rear window with built in defogger then it should be ok with the LR4 front defogger. I would be careful as there are specific laws about front window tint. I had one officer almost make me scrape off the tint on the top of my front window because it went too far down in the corners. I would also be wary of any signal interference with your auto brights/sunpass/etc.

And where in Florida? I am up in Jupiter, North of West Palm Beach.

Orlando area.

The tint is actually completely clear. It just doesnt allow UV and reduces the heat from the front windshield.

interesting. If you try it, let us know how it works. It gets freaking hot down here!!

I was in Orlando the other day for work. You should look up the Florida Land Rover Club @ www.floridalandroverclub.com. We have several members in Orlando and you would be relatively close to the events.

I have my windshield tinted. 50% Llumar, charcoal-colored tint. No problems to report, except my toll-pass does not always read through the tint.
