    Don't know. But I'm hearing that it can also keep sun heat out.
    Maybe someone can say where to have it installed and the cost.

    Now tell me you don't need to protect yourself. After my shoulder, came my arm, and after my arm came my face. It's a destructive cancer that's relatively easy to prevent. There's really no excuse.

    I had no idea they cut that deep.

    Good job on making them take a pic.

    I wear long sleeve (flannel) shirts every day even in summer. I remember one of my former trainees (who was in his late 50s) telling me he had developed skin cancer on his left forearm after driving locally for many years. He said he was fine but has to visit the doctor routinely in case the cancer returns. Many people don’t know, but skin cancer is the most common type of cancer.

    I can't stand it to feel the constant sun on my arm. As for the side of the face, for a while I was in a Volvo with a pull down sun flap, but now I'm in a freightliner. I might figure out something for that next summer.

    Otherwise, I found these UV protective arm sleeves on Amazon. I think they make a big difference.

    Missouri and Iowa hate tint. I have dark tint on my tuck and just roll windows down. However have been caught by Iowa. Only 1 point on CSA score. I have a note from a Dermatologist stating I need window tint due to having 3 spots of skin cancer removed on my face. So yeah they can #### off
