I tinted the windows on an 86 Olds wagon ten years ago.
The wagon pretty much sits in the sun 24/7 all year long.
It alternately gets parked heading into or out of the drive.
After ten years the limo black seems to be holding its own and on the
rare occasion that I drive it to drag a dead Westy home or move a trailer
it is cooler inside than the many years before the tint.
It had some low level tint from the factory but the limo black really
cooled it down and that was a help when I went to the R134 refrigerant in
the AC system that notoriously only performs 90% as well as Freon.
