Window tint reco

I was wondering if it is ok to tint all the glass in my '17 Cabriolet including the dash. Also are there any specific tints I should be using. The car gets so hot and the dash buckled. I use a sun shade but it doesn't help enough. I know there is wires inside the windshield so I don't want to effect that but after I go spend the money to go fix the dash I want to be able to keep the car much cooler if possible.

The side windows are double glass and you can see a light tint in the middle of the panes. I have had 2 C217 and I tint both of them. I know the sides are 20 tint. I think the rear is darker but not sure if its 30 or not. This car already had the windshield tinted although it is illegal to tint the windshield.
It is light Dont know the #. Maybe 5
I just left it on.
My shop is using xpel prime xr now, but they were using llumar and suntek
As long as you get a good install, any of those are the best

My local vinyl shop has a clear vinyl that is supposed to cut a large percentage of the UV rays while remaining clear and thus doesn't trigger a problem with the police. I haven't tried it but it might be worth looking into. Good luck!

oh man, hot cars are the worst. I've heard good things about 3M Crystalline tint, supposedly it blocks heat without being super dark. might be worth checking out, but im not an expert.
