Recommendations for window and windshield films?
South Texas summers are on the "warm" side.
I would like some suggestions on films for the windshield and side windows and sunroof. Minimum tint with maximum heat blocking.
3M Crystalline for the windshield? One shop has given me a good price on Prime XR ceramic.
Thanks again.

AFAIK laminated glass will block UV rays. Most windshields nowadays (if not all) are laminated.

Laminated glass on other panels, such as side and rear glass, was added for the 2006 XJ8. I am unaware if laminated glass was an option on 04-05 models.

3M is probably one of the best.
Wasn't aware that windshield tint was allowed in Texas, unless they've changed the law since I left??
Also I was informed that all vehicles post 2001 or 2002 had UV rated Windshields already, maybe not? I remember my crown vic, 2006 model, had it....

I had my entire front windshield tinted with LLumar Air80. It allows 80% light through and you cannot tell the windshield has any tint at all.
However, it blocks out a crap ton of heat/UV rays. the difference is incredible. It was the best decision ever in my opinion.
I also had LLumar ceramic 15% on the other windows.
Obviously some states have different tint laws than FL, but I figured Id give my 0.02
