I know the 3M Ceramic films on all the windows ( *including windshield) provide some degree of "glass scatter protection".....but I wanted it for heat rejection more so than security.

I will say----it makes the (filmed) interior side more reflective. Particularly noticeable night driving, and even more so on rain glossed night drives. Sometimes enough to cause an "Oh ****!" moment only to realize it was an illusion.

I don't have the ceramic tint on the side windows, and get that effect often. In fact,i remember seeing ghost cars was the van was new with no tint. I chalked it up to the large, straight vertical windows.

Kevvyd, that is very good to know. I had been considering the film and MrNomer gets quite disturbed by distractions in his peripheral vision. Thanks for saving me a big hassle and a lot of money.

The windshield is the biggest heat source as it's angled and quite large. I have noticed the ghost car effect on the stock side windows, and have had no issues with vision, day or night with the windshield ceramic tinted.

And the car is significantly cooler when returning to it being parked in the sun, and makes a noticeable difference driving on a hot, sunny day.
