Based on that I would not recommend going darker then 33% VLT. Hope that helps.

Thanks that's a good tip. I think the tint will help too with the sun hitting the leather.

Most of the protection to the interior comes from the UV blocking ability of the tint not from how dark the tint is. I believe that most good tints block 95% to 99% of the UV rays regarless of how dark the tint is. I've had window tint on all my cars for over 25 years and only have good things to say in terms of the benefits.
