The problem is that windscreen tinting can be illegal in some places for safety - police in the UK don't like it at all.

Maybe one of those beach sun reflector type things might help there though ?
No no, I have a sun reflector which I deploy when parked. I'd only tint the windows behind the driver. Here, tinting the front glass is illegal, and the front side windows can't be tinted to less than 70%.

But I brought this up because I want to understand how making the glass darker actually keeps the heat out. I want the physics of it (well, at an advanced high school level).
