Do window shades help with heat significantly? - eviltoast

Hey, just got a 2014 Honda fit about a month ago and it’s getting hot. The windows have no tint on them and I was wondering how big the difference is between tinting the back windows and getting shades for the backseat. My state allows rear and back seat windows to be tinted, but I don’t have the money to do that now. I was about to order a shade for my front windshield and was wondering if an always on shade in the back seats and trunk would help with heat, or if it’s more of a privacy thing.

    I have a 2015 fit, and had tinted the windows sometime after I bought it. It is a significant difference.

      I love how much I can see around me, but the windows are huge and my job doesn’t have covered parking. Did you tint them all or just a few?
