Get some spray can tint and apply to the inside of the windshield or you can use black plastidip if you want it to look blacked out.
Best thing is that they are both removable easily.

I work for a body shop and had the taillights of my pickup painted, by far the best way to go for plastic. Been done for two years and no problems yet, and its able to be buffed.

You can use Candy Spray paint to tint it any color you want … the more coats the darker the tint … Alsa Corp makes Candy paint in 12oz spray cans … make sure you clean the surface real good and only tint the inside so bugs and stones don't chip it … I did the lower half of my Rod King with Alsa paint and am very pleased with the results

I like the candy paint idea!

I have tried to apply cheap tint from auto zone, and could not get all the bubbles out no mater what I tried. I had it down to two small bubbles that nobody would have noticed, but I knew they were there, and it drove me nuts.

I guess it all depends on how particular you are.

I was curious about this as well. I called a local tint shop and they said that it wont hold up on the plastic and to just paint it or get the spray on tint. They wouldn't even tint it if I paid them.
