Window Tint = Cooler interior?
No tints on the audi.
My last car (chrysler 300) had pretty decent tint all around and it did seem to me that it helped keep the interior a little cooler (grey cloth).
A lot of it depends on the "formulation" of the tints. Some of the more high end films claim to block a significant amount of IR and UV without necessarily being dark.
Hopefully someone with some of the "scientific" knowledge can chime in here.

I have 35% all around because that is legal limit in CT. I also have a black interior and all I can say it gets hot as ***** inside my car when it sits in the sun. I usually open the windows from the door, then get in turn on the A/C and stand outside the car until the idle goes down and it cools off for a minute.
I can't say if it makes it any cooler inside, but tints are also supposed to protect the interior from sun damage, cracking and fading.
The leatherette/vinyl doesn't help at all. Talk about swamp *** haha. Just start putting your boxers in the freezer before you go for a ride. I wish we could have cold air coming through the holes like new Benz and Lexus.
I was thinking about getting a windshield shade for when I park in the sun at work or at home.

Do you have pictures of the sport cloth.
