I'm not sure about most modern glass blocking UV. I've heard this, BUT I've taken some long drives in modern cars, on HOT SUNNY days with the air conditioning on and the windows up, and still gotten some sun (not full on sunburn) on the left arm from the sun coming through. So, I dunno bout that one...

As for the tint, most people get it done for looks, but it has other benefits.

It keeps the interior cooler when it's hot, reduces interior surface fading and cracking caused by the sun, reduces glare, and so on.

Also, there is some suggestion that it can reduce "smash and grab" type thefts because people won't break into a car unless they can see there is something valuable inside to steal.

Plus it can be a benefit if you're in an accident, because the tint film holds the glass together and keeps glass from flying around.

SO, I personally like it, but cops and customs DO NOT.
