It is okay not to tint car windows. The functions of window tinting are: 1. To provide heat insulation in summer, saving air conditioning energy; 2. To reduce energy loss in winter and maintain interior temperature; 3. To block UV rays, extending the lifespan and quality of interior furnishings; 4. To reduce glare, ensuring safe and comfortable driving. The steps for car window tinting are: 1. Lay a large towel on the front hood and dashboard; 2. Cover the seats with seat covers and wrap them tightly with plastic wrap; 3. Thoroughly clean the car windows; 4. Spray a small amount of window film installation solution on the outer surface of the window glass; 5. Carefully position the soft template over the glass and slide it into place; 6. Cut the window film according to the template; 7. Apply the window film and use a squeegee to remove any bubbles between the film and the glass.
Actually, it's perfectly fine not to apply window film. I've driven my car for over five years without any film. The biggest advantage of not applying film is the exceptionally clear visibility, especially when driving at night or on rainy days—there's no hazy feeling. Plus, you can save a considerable amount of money; a set of reputable brand heat-insulating film costs at least a thousand yuan. However, it does get much hotter in summer—the steering wheel can get scorching, and you'll need to turn the air conditioning up higher. Personally, I think as long as you take proper sun protection measures, like using sunshades and wearing sunglasses, these issues can be completely resolved. Most importantly, safety is key—some low-quality films can actually impair driving visibility, so not applying them eliminates that risk.
