You can buy tinted film to apply to existing windows to reduce UV radiation, but maintain adequate transparency.

There are various degrees of tinting available, there are also there are reflective films.

Google 3M window tinting.

Or look for a company that does window tinting, it is a job best done proffesionally.

Haha, I take your advise into account but I am looking for something that can be removed and readjusted easily. Ι guess a rolling screen will do the job. Thanks anyway

In your OP (original post) you state that you intend to replace the windows. Surely this is in direct conflict to the requirement to "remove and readjust them easily"?

If you’re looking into getting your windows tinted, it definitely helps to choose a shop that understands both quality film and proper installation. A lot of places offer tinting, but not all of them focus on long-term clarity, UV protection, and heat reduction the way a professional shop does.

I recently had my SUV tinted through OC Tint Solutions here in Orange County, and the difference was immediate. The cabin stays noticeably cooler, and the glare reduction has made driving in the afternoon so much easier. If you want to check out the types of films they use or compare shade options, you can visit here for more info,helped me a lot when I was deciding what percentage to go with.

Overall, if privacy and heat control are your main concerns, proper window tinting is definitely worth it. Just make sure you go with a shop that actually explains the film quality and backs their work with a warranty.

PPG, Guardian or any the other glass manufactures in your area. Depends on the extent and what kind of protection. These companies manufacture glass for quite a few different applications. Look at your local glass distributors they will sell it, cut it to size, temper it if necessary and possibly install it for you.

Some one recommended films. Not the best for windows that you view through for driving or in your case steer. Films can distort the view. From distortion in the films itself and how it's applied.

Umm, not sure how often you'll be wanting to adjust it... But there is window tint out there that is "static cling" and should be easily removable, and you can clean and reuse it as necessary.
