Polarizing is more expensive to manufacture and it reduces the total light transmitted through the glass which can be especially important for nightime driving.

To help combat this, the glass is generally less polarized and so the UV protection is more on the order of 75% or so. It's a trade-off between overall light reduction and UV protection.

I too wear polarized Sunglasses and there is no blocking on the Boxster glass, when rotating them as you mention.

Still, your post was thoughtful and very informative.

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99





Hey Jim:

I bet a few of the forum members here would love to see some pics of you testing the whole polarization theory today with your Boxster!!!! Please send ASAP.
