UV window protection?
Hey I was wondering if anyone knows the amount of UV-A and UB-B rays the factory windows on the Yaris filters?
I see this little print on the window that says UV and some other stuff but does that mean it filters UV rays or not? It says Toyota Nippon Safety UV and a bunch of numbers around it. |

Called High Solar Energy-Absorbing (HSEA) glass in Toyota vehicles, this automotive glass was specifically designed to help reduce or stop the ultraviolet and infrared rays that penetrate the windshield, door windows, quarter glass, rear window and sunroof (if equipped). Ultraviolet and infrared rays cause sunburn, increase the temperature inside the vehicle, and can also damage interior materials. UV reduction glass can reduce ultraviolet and infrared rays by as much as 70 to 100 percent.

Thanks, so does anyone know exactly how much of each UV ray gets blocked?
I'm assuming at least 70% of either UV-A or UV-B? |

I haven't seen exact numbers, but from what I have read, UV-B is much easier to block, so they are likely saying that it blocks 100% of UV-B and 70% of UV-A.
