Just for the hell of it, I emailed the subaru company and asked about the windshield...

Quote:
The glass information listed below represents calculated reference values, and may not represent actual values determined by testing, except for the thickness information. The specifications for the windshield are:

Thickness - 4.76 mm
Solar penetration levels - 55.0%
UV penetration levels - 0.0% for both UVA and UVB
Visible ray light transmittance values - 75.0%
Just out of curiosity, say if the windshield tint heat rejection is 45%
0.55(factory penetration) * 0.55(heat through tint) ~= 0.30(overall heat penetration?)
Is that how the math works out?
