Around year 2000 Toyota told importer of the brand that new cars would have UV protection in their windows in order to prevent skin cancer for their customers. 2017 models still have only protection in the windshields. Just like most other car companies have had in their cars since 1990. Side windows are protected by glass and nothing else, meaning not at all. Taxi and truck drivers are often having skin cancer in the hand near the side window (in UK right hand and US and here in left hand). I had Llumar foil on all windows when we bought the car, except windshield (also sun roof window) and now a rather long time after still look like new. Scratch proof; installer showed me on a test window that scratching with a car key nothing happened to the foil. Have an UV detector and even when UV is 12 outside inside the foiled windows UV is 0. Clear on the front doors and slightly tinted on rear windows - https://llumar.com/emea/en/automotive/window-tint/clear/

Hello, Jim. There are some on this forum that have over 200,000 and even 250,000 miles on them. Ours has approximately 135,000 miles on it and has been bulletproof. Always make sure that the recommended maintenance has been done. You can find the requirements on the internet if not in this forum. Also try to verify that the rear floor in front of the back seats has not been used for long-term storage of anything that could block the air intake vents at the bottom of the seats. Doing so can reduce the life of the hybrid batteries. Good luck!
