Windshield Tint in Riverside, CA
Your windshield is the largest piece of glass on the car and it faces the sun on every drive. We install windshield sun strips and clear heat rejecting windshield film that cuts heat and glare coming through the front glass, so your dash, steering wheel and hands stay cooler on the commute.
Why Tint the Windshield
A huge share of the heat that hits you while driving comes through the windshield. It sits at an angle to the sun, it is the biggest pane of glass on the car, and it shines straight onto the dash, the steering wheel and your hands. Treating it is one of the most noticeable comfort upgrades you can make, especially for morning and evening drives with the sun low on the horizon.
Windshield film also blocks UV that fades and cracks dashboards, and a sun strip cuts the glare that comes in just over the visor.
What Is Legal on a California Windshield
California limits windshield tint more strictly than any other window. A non reflective tint strip is allowed along the top 4 inches of the windshield, which is the visor strip most people picture. Beyond that, the windshield has to stay clear, so a dark windshield film is not street legal in California.
Clear, heat rejecting windshield films are designed to block UV and infrared heat without visibly darkening the glass. We will tell you exactly what is allowed for your vehicle before we install anything, and we never put a film on your windshield that we would not drive with ourselves.
How We Install Windshield Film
Windshields are large, curved and often have sensors, cameras and rain sensors behind the mirror. The film is heat shrunk to the exact curve of your glass so it lays flat with no fingers or creases, then cut around the sensor and camera areas so lane assist, auto wipers and other driver aids keep working.
Because the windshield is the glass you look through most, we take extra time on cleaning and inspection so the finished glass is as clear as it was before.

Windshield Tint FAQ
Can I tint my whole windshield in California?
Not with a dark film. California allows a non reflective strip along the top 4 inches. Ask us about clear heat rejecting films for the rest of the glass, and we will confirm what is allowed for your vehicle.
Will windshield film block my cameras or sensors?
No. We cut the film around the camera and sensor areas so lane assist, auto wipers and other features keep working.
Does clear windshield film really reduce heat?
Yes. Clear films are designed to reject infrared heat and UV without darkening the glass, so you feel less heat on your hands and dash.
How long does a windshield install take?
A windshield on its own is usually a short visit. Booking it with the rest of the car is the most efficient, and we will give you a time when you book.
Can I add windshield film to an already tinted car?
Yes. Many customers come back just for the windshield after tinting the side and rear glass.
