Hey, just got a 2014 Honda fit about a month ago and it’s getting hot. The windows have no tint on them and I was wondering how big the difference is between tinting the back windows and getting shades for the backseat. My state allows rear and back seat windows to be tinted, but I don’t have the money to do that now. I was about to order a shade for my front windshield and was wondering if an always on shade in the back seats and trunk would help with heat, or if it’s more of a privacy thing.

Having anything, whether tint or shades, to block direct sunlight will help immensely to block heat.

There could be a few tint shops in your area that has a display/demo they can show you: basically a demonstration of how much heat any given tint can block, but even simple shades will help.

Having something will always be better than nothing!
