Windshield decals anyone?

[Dr. TJG DVM]

I've had my '25 Lariat for 8 months now and realized during this Kansas summer that I always have my sun visors down. Since light glare really bothers my eyes I usually have them down even at night. Even still the windshield is so big that I feel the field of view is more than adequate for safe driving, I mean I'm not watching airplanes, hot air balloons, birds or UFO's. I am considering a decal across the top 7 or 8 inches of the windshield. I know the rearview mirror mount comes down at least that far and there is a camera and/or sensor setup in there that probably can't be obstructed. Also noted about 4 months back that there is a Built in Michigan decal on the passenger side; more proof that I'm not to observant (maybe the wife is onto something there).
Would love to see some Ranger pictures with them installed, comments or suggestions. I would like to go with a distressed US flag in gray to match my other accents and the azure gray paint. Searches largely come up with those for full sized trucks that would need to be trimmed down and that seems like it would affect the proportionality of the designs. I have found some paired fender decals that could go from the mirror mount out but that would put one flag flying with the stars to the right: Would that be offensive or counter to standard flag code? Thanks crew

Get a 5% tint strip. Mine is probably 10" wide.

You could do a "brow" tint, which would come down to the AS-1 line on the windshield (this is actually printed on the windshield glass on the edge, you can find it next time you drive if you've never noticed it before). If KS is anything like OK, you might have specific laws about what you're able to do as far as opacity and color on the windshield there at the top.

LOL! And I’m sure I missed that line mark on the windshield as well

35% tinted windshield AND a 5% 8” tinted sun visor strip across the top. May seem dark to some, but I’m telling ya, it’s the setup!
Doesn’t bother me at night either, granted I’ve been running this setup for well over 30 years so I’m accustomed to it.

You could use some Nano ceramic window film (not tint; tint does not cut UV or heat transfer, just darkens). We have both high UV and heat in our beloved State so use nano ceramic. My truck photo shows XPEL Nano ceramic window film.

Did a wide brow on my RR, and also had one my 19 ranger. Helps a lot, although on bright days I sometimes use the visor also. I'm a few inches below the sight line, but over here in kc on the Missouri side no one seems to care

I'm probably going to put a Ford Performance banner on my upper windshield.
