Secrets, Tips & Tricks...Post Them Here

I went to the Amazon site and it says they do not fit a 2024 Ranger?

I have these struts on my 24 Ranger and they work great so far. Almost half the price of Redline - hopefully they work for over half as long...

Omg. How did I not know this? /s

I'm going to have to agree with myself on this one. You can see perfectly fine out of the windshield, and with the windows down, can see perfectly well into the vehicle.

I'll be the first to admit that this doesn't look very dark, and on a sunny day i'm sure it's fine. But this discussion is going to be a lot like the debate over motorcyclists wearing helmets, where many don't wear them and are fine but that doesn't make it a good idea. Or maybe like drinking and driving, where if you don't drink "too much" you're fine.

I work a lot with our local EMT's and township employees and interact with our local police regularly. While it's a small portion of the population who get windshields tinted, they represent over 60% of the deer strikes and police are starting to issue citations and take note of who applied the tinting and interestingly, who performed the state safety inspections.

Ive never tinted a vehicle, but was under the impression you could get ceramic film with zero tint and still reap the benefit of heat protection. Other than aesthetics, seems like the best option to me.

I think the lightest I've seen was 90% light transmission, which is about the same VLT as most factory windshields, IIRC. It's about a clear as you can get and still get IR rejection.

GLW, Like KrillOill, I would like to know how you mounted that inside the lid. Looks like it could be a useful addition for storage.

I used heavy duty Velcro strips to mount mine.
