Last weekend Hubert Rowell showed me the tint of that type he'd just put on
his GMC windshield. He did the upper 2/3, leaving the lower untouched. I
had trouble seeing the transition at first. He says it makes a BIG
difference in cockpit heat. He didn't mention the density spec., but I'd
guess it was 70.
