    I think the legality of tint depends on what state you are in. <br>
    I know that in some states it is illegal to tint the driver and
    passenger windows, others allow it.<br>
    The fear of tint by law enforcement might be more about being able
    to see what the driver and passenger are doing if stopped, I know I
    would be a little uncomfortable approaching a vehicle that had all
    windows tinted so that I could not see inside.<br>

      &nbsp; Back in those same 70's. the Utah state troopers were especially
      uptight about windows and vehicles.&nbsp;&nbsp; They opined that having a
      dark tint on your windows was the same as admitting you were doing
      something bad inside....And they really hated silver reflective
      tint.&nbsp;&nbsp; They stopped one of my pals in his Bay Window westie,
      passing through Utah,&nbsp; for having reflective film camper windows
      on his van....pulled him and his GF out and patted them down (she
      was a really stunning blonde), searched the whole van...and found
      a small roach...of the smoking type...impounded his van, put them
      both in jail.&nbsp; It cost him a bundle to get free and get his van
      back...<br>

            The previous owner of my van tinted the windows as well as a
            strip across the top part of the windshield. It works well
            on sunny days, but can be a little annoying on cloudy days
            or at night,<br>

            Subject: Vanagon external sun visor?<br>
            <br>
            Just returned to Ohio from a 5,500 mile trek to Missoula,
            Mt. and misc. points in between. The Westy ran fine, only
            complaint was the sun cooking us. Have had the side windows
            tinted which helps. Have thought an external visor for the
            windshield would help.......any thoughts?<br>
            Like the one for sale on the Samba, but the shipping is a
            little prohibitive. Anyone know of any other sources, or
            have one for sale that would fit an '84 Westy? Thanks<br>
            <br>

            Damon. Great guy, good flick) &nbsp;:-)<br>
