Is it okay not to apply film on the rear windshield?

It is acceptable not to apply film on the rear windshield. Here is more information about windshields: 1. The windshield was an innovative idea by Ford, which involved sandwiching two pieces of glass together with a layer of PVC plastic in between, creating a laminated glass structure. 2. The front windshield of a car is primarily made of laminated tempered glass or zoned tempered glass, capable of withstanding strong impacts. 3. Proper use of windshield washer fluid is essential during maintenance. When the windshield surface appears blurry, cleaning it with appropriate washer fluid can significantly improve clarity. If you notice issues with glare or reflections at night, wiping the windshield with washer fluid can help. Additionally, when driving on highways or in dusty conditions, washer fluid is consumed quickly, so it's important to refill it promptly.

It's indeed possible not to apply film on the rear windshield. In my over ten years of driving experience, I've encountered this situation. If you prioritize clear visibility and cost savings, skipping the film allows direct light transmission and saves you the film cost, typically around a few hundred yuan. However, from a safety perspective, applying film can prevent glass shards from scattering in case of breakage, especially during accidents; without film, the glass is more prone to shattering, increasing risks. Additionally, many car models now come with built-in UV protection, but film provides extra privacy and heat insulation, keeping the interior cooler when parked in summer. Based on my comprehensive experience, if you choose not to apply film, I recommend regularly checking the windshield for cracks or signs of aging for added peace of mind.

It's perfectly fine not to tint the rear windshield. I personally prefer keeping it as is when driving. The main benefits of tinting are increased privacy, preventing others from seeing inside the car, especially when parked roadside at night, which enhances security. Not tinting provides brighter visibility and saves some money. However, during summer, the car interior heats up faster, and there's stronger UV exposure, which might cause premature aging of leather seats. Aesthetically, tinting can make the car look cooler, but I prefer the clean and fresh feel. As long as you drive safely, it doesn't make much difference.

Is it okay not to tint the rear windshield? Of course, it is. I don't really care about this; it's purely a matter of personal preference. If you're just looking to save money and hassle, not tinting is great—clear visibility makes driving more enjoyable. But if you often carry valuables or children, tinting can enhance privacy and prevent thieves from peeking. Simply put, there are no mandatory regulations; most cars can be driven as-is unless there are specific local laws.
