Roseville sits about 20 minutes up I-80 from our Auburn Blvd shop, and that westbound commute toward Sacramento puts the afternoon sun straight through your windshield. The windshield is the single biggest piece of glass on your vehicle, so it lets in the most heat and the harshest glare. We focus on windshield-specific treatments that calm that low, blinding light without breaking California law or compromising your view of the road ahead.
For the full windshield we install a clear, high-VLT ceramic IR film. Because it stays near-clear, it passes well over the visible light California requires while still rejecting solar heat and blocking 99% of UV. You get a cooler cabin and far less squinting on the drive home from the Galleria lots, with no dark, illegal look. The Avery Dennison Encore Supreme IR film is non-metallic, so it never interferes with toll tags, GPS, or driver-assist sensors.
On top of that, California allows a tinted strip along the top of the windshield, above the AS-1 line (roughly the top 4-5 inches). We add a computer-cut top strip to knock down the direct overhead and low-angle sun on Roseville's open stretches of I-80. Combined with the clear IR film, it makes a real difference for family vehicles and EVs that bake in Galleria parking all afternoon. Same-day roll-down keeps you moving.
