How do I tint car windows without film?
I heard that tint can help keep your car cool in the summer, but I don’t want to put the film over my windows. Is there any good way for me to tint car windows without film?

Tinted car windows definitely have their benefits, but the application process can be tiring. Unfortunately, there aren’t any easy alternatives to traditional window tint film. That said, you can still use the following methods protect your dashboard and interior from harmful UV rays and keep the interior cool.
- Removable sunshades are a great way to keep your car interior cool without window tint film. They are usually made of black mesh that blocks out most of the sunlight. Plus, they only cost around $20 and easily mount to the inside of your windows with suction cups.
- Retractable sunshades are similar in design to removable shades, but they mount to your window more permanently. The big benefit of this tinting alternative is that passengers can retract the shades into their housing, so the windows won’t always be covered.
Hopefully, one of these options will help you tint your car without using any film. But if you’re only worried about
