    I've never seen that. Can you tell me what you paid for it and where you had it done.

    You go to Lumar website and search for dealers in your area. Then call and see if they will work on your truck, some of them don't.
    Paid $150 for two front windows

    I would not rely on the window alone. Adding some form of legal screen (several options mentioned) and/or sunscreen (I would really say *and*, especially if you're a flatbedder).

    "He was a truck driver for the majority of his life and never wore sunscreen," said Northwestern University dermatologist Jennifer Gordon, who reported the man's case. "We think the sun exposure just on this side of the face is what caused the damage."

    Maybe there will be a day when dark window tent will be considered an osha requirement for driver safety and ppe. Then mr. man can’t say a word about it.

    I know. No argument. But I’m thinking more towards the privacy protection thing. Same thinking with my home.Rolling down the road I don’t like people being able to see in to see what they can kill or steal.
     
    feldsforever and Long FLD Thank this.

    56834AFA-34D3-4F90-AF04-7519B6202A98.jpeg I spent 30 years Baking out in the sun when I used to work on the beach and the water.

    Buy one of these light weight long sleeve sun blocking shirts from Reel Legends. Their $20 and super comfortable and don’t get soaking wet if you sweat in them.

    You can wash them when you take a shower and they dry super fast as their lightweight polyester

    I wear nothing but these now days along with lightweight quick dry board shorts

    I like being comfy.
     
    feldsforever, DUNE-T, Hulld and 2 others Thank this.
