I've heard of windows literally bursting because of their tint (usually aftermarket) absorbing so much heat that the glass expanded and busted loose from its frame.

I haven't tinted yet, partly because DC tint laws don't leave much room for it anyway. In the meantime, I put up one of those shiny windshield sun shields, crack open the side windows about 1/4" and/or tilt the sunroof, and also, I'll often park facing the sun so that all the other windows don't get so much exposure.

Then when I get back, I start the car, turn on the a/c, and roll down all the windows. I'll either sit there for a minute or start driving right away, getting the a/c system fully cooled down and venting all the hot air out the open windows. Sure, there's a ventilation exit in every car that I know of, but it's not nearly as efficient as a couple square yards of open window frames.

That last paragraph is probably more important. I only have to endure the 130+ degree heat for a half minute or less.
