I may have to go the route you are. Old tint off and have the Pro put on the good stuff.
Thanks for the thread!
they do, to an extent. i believe you would have to tint the windshield to have a dramatic cooling effect. i have limo tint (the darkest you can go) and high quality on hatch, triangle windows, and driver/passenger windows... it still gets hot..

the reason? the windshield is RIGHT there, UNTINTED, and is directly going on the seats.. which = hottttt still..

just my observations

i thuoght about tinting the windshield 50% (about the lightest you can go..) so it would not make it dark, only block out the UV rays.. but have not gnoe that route yet
