First, your A/C doesn't take Freon, it uses R-134a refigerant.  You
could try to put Freon in it, but you'll destroy it for all time.  If
it's not cooling properly, it's likely that the refrigerant is only low,
but the question then becomes, WHY is it low? Is it leaking?  A proper
service by a qualified shop is the best route to make sure it cools to
the best of its capabilities.

I don't know what the laws are in Phoenix, but here in BC, NO tint is
allowed AT ALL on the front windows- tint may only be from the driver's
position and back.  If you're caught with illegal tint, you can be given
an inspection notice, which effectively pulls your car off the road
until it's back to spec, meaning the illegal tint is removed (if the cop
is really in a mood, he can even have it towed to an inspection shop,
where they won't release it until it's passed).  That's ON TOP OF a
ticket of well over $100.

I might suggest you find out just what your local laws are about window
tint, and go to the trouble of making your car comply NOW.  The
alternative is being forced to make it comply later, probably at a very
inconvenient time to deal with it, and almost certainly with a lot of
extra cost involved (tickets, towing, etc.)

Same applies for everyone else here.

Hi all you sexy Honda lover's. I have a question about my 1997 Honda Accord.
Now I live in Arizona and it's about 112 degrees here and my A/C seems to
"try" to work but it's not ice cold like it should be? I figured I need Freon?
Any suggestions on if I should buy some and give it to the dealer to put in
or can I put it in? Is there any Freon that is "better" then the others in
other words I want the a/c ICE COLD because it is SO hot here and when the
sun is beaming through the windshield it seems like the a/c isn't working at
all :(  I also see that ALOT of cars have thier windshields totally tinted
and I went to a few places and they said "No,it's illegal to tint the whole
windshield"? Do you guys think thats totally true or do you think if I keep
looking I will find someone to do the WHOLE windshield. All my other windows
are 2% yes VERY(illegally) dark but I just want the windshield tinted maybe
10% just to keep the car a little cooler is this just not going to happen?
Please any suggestions will help :)
Thanx~~~Wendi
