UV protection or windshield, side windows
I bought a UVA+UVB meter (Solarmeter 6.5, $213 on Amazon).
The results.
With side windows down, I measured UV index 7.5.
With the side window up, 0.4.
Through the front windshield - 0.1.
I haven’t done any tinting.

First off, that UV measuring device is useful for more things than just the car. And secondly, the results show that no tinting is necessary. UV Index of 0.1-0.5 is completely harmless.

I've got 3m crystalline all around the car including windshield.. Live in AZ which has arguably the hottest weather year round in the world.
I am stunned at how low the heat and sun ray levels are inside the cabin, even when the car is parked outside all day in the summer. The tint is still worth every penny.

Does that device measure UV A & B? The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends tint: https://www.skincancer.org/preventio...un-safety-cars
