Untreated auto glass has one major drawback: it lets in a lot of light and heat. When it is bright outside, you may experience temperature gain, which turns the vehicle's inside into a sauna and forces the air conditioning to work overtime.Â
Solar control glass solves the problem by adding film or treatment to block out the excess warmth and brightness. On some autos, this layer sits on the surface, and on others, the window has two parts with a ray-blocking sheet in between them. Minivans, such as the Chrysler Grand Caravan, often have this feature.Â
Â
One of the benefits of solar control glass is that it reduces the amount of heat entering the vehicle. The cabin remains relatively cool, and you save on A/C usage and, in turn, fuel costs. The tint also keeps passengers safe because it protects them from exposure to harmful UV rays.Â
