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 had my wife’s widows tinted and when the window is partly opened, i can actually feel the difference in heat load by putting my hand on my shirt in the direct light and in the light passing through the tint.
