Driving xc90 in soft beach sand

I would only replace the rear window and leave the side windows tinted as they are. I think you're right in that I just going to have to live with it.

i say go for it. just make sure the sand is not very soft. it will give the tranny a good work out..

I would think you'll have more problems with sinking into the sand and getting stuck with the narrow tires. Once you're in there, you're in there. Don't horse the tranny trying to get out, call for a tow. XC's are not hard off roaders.
