I had all the windows professionally tinted two years ago with a strip along the
top of the windshield and limo tint on the hatch window. The van stays cooler
inside and looks cooler outside.

The installer managed to do a great job of applying the tinting to the closet
side window without having to remove any cabinets. I don't know how he did it.
