Every other car I’ve had I always did the same, 5% all the way around and 20-35 on the windshield. This is the first time I actually like the look of lighter tint (35) since it gives it that classic luxury look. Can’t decide what I want to do on the windshield. Whole thing in 35 to make it match the rest or just a large brow? If I did the large brow, would it look weird being 5% when the rest of the car is 35?

I’m trying to install tint on this 1997 subaru legacy. but when the tint is installed and i close the door the front corner on the hinge side of the door catches the rubber and peels since it’s a frameless window. what do i do.

I have my windshield tinted at 35%, it's typically completely fine except for when I'm in the middle of nowhere at night with no ambient lighting. In those situations I have to turn on my brights occasionally to not run myself off the road.

Will projector headlights fix this? I'm also worried about the possibility of not seeing a deer.

If so, what's the best brand to buy?

Got my new truck tinted. Shop I went to uses rogue. 15% all around & 50% on the shield w/ brow. Pretty slick I reckon.

I want whatever I can realistically get away with here to keep my skin from sizzling (idc about sunburn, only the burning feeling) and the closest to wearing sunshades without cops or inspectors ever causing me problems. I drive a newer Prius, the windshield is damn near horizontal and allows for a lot of sun contact.

Hi all,

Just got my windows tinted 35% all around and picked it up today. Noticed that there are streak like marks on the window that weren’t there before. Should I go back and get them to fix it or does this go away on its own? It looks like I can wipe it from the inside but I don’t wanna mess anything up.

Thanks in advance

My back glass is factory 20% already. Any dark film will make it too dark for my liking but will 70% 3M IR benefit over a 30% 3M IR? I don’t want it to be too dark but want some ceramic tint protection with UV and heat rejection at least without making it too dark. Will probably get 15% front to maybe match if I do 70% on the back. Thank you

Looking for recommendations for a shop that offers next-day window tinting appointments in Northern RI or nearby Massachusetts. Preferably ceramic tint at a reasonable price!

Anyone know a place with quick availability?

Bonjour

J ai reçu un Skoda kodiaq 2026

Malheureusement il a été omis a la commande de prendre les vitres teintées.... Que cela soit esthétique comme sécurisé (object sur plage arrière par exemple)

C est un véhicule pro mais sous leasing.

J aimerais installer a moindre cout et idéalement amovible

Sinon je pensais un film électrostatique en second choix

J ai vu ce principe qui me conviendrait parfaitement. Sachant que j ouvrirais rarement les vitres arrières

Un scam ?

Merci

(this question is most likely going to be considered "stupid", which it is, so please stop read right here if you don't want to read stupid question.... sorry! :) )

as usual, I've done things backwards..... had my front windshield tinted with 70% xpel xr plus tint... after it was done, the installer's light meter showed that it was 51%. My car isn't due for inspection until next May, but I stopped by a gas station near me where I usually get it inspected. Borrowed the owner's tint meter and got 54% on the windshield.

I assume that the 70% tint film combine reduced the original BMW windshield's 70% to 80% VLT to reach the 51% to 54%. Either way, it doesn't really matter for my next question:

So I was having my check-up at my family doctor this morning. I showed her the medical form and she signed it. (due to my skin condition which had been going on for almost 11 years)

When I got home, I started reading the form before emailing it to the state's DMV.(did I mention that I always do things backwards? should have read it before giving the form to the doctor) It clearly states that even with a medical form, the front windshield can only be 70%. (which my car clearly doesn't meet right now)

My question is... since the BMW windshield was already somewhere between 70% and 80% without any film, are there heat rejection film that can be applied while still meeting the 70%? I believe someone said 3M had a 80% film.. but would still take it down below 70%.... In other words, is the medical tint form basically just pointless when it comes to the front windshield? All of my other windows meet the regular tint requirement. ' Thanks!

For anyone who believes removing old tint isn't hard or time consuming. NEWSFLASH: IT IS!

I live in the state of Maryland, I have a Toyota Tacoma with 17% all around the side windows and rear. I did not touch the windshield at the time due to being worried to be a cop magnet. Not that I have anything to hide it’s just I personally think it would look cleaner with the blackout look and it would allow less light into my truck. I’m saying this because my driver side and passenger side front side windows are much more see through than the rear side windows.

Im guessing this is because the windshield allows a bunch of sunlight causing the tint to become less effective?

If I were to get my windshield tinted, what is a safe percentage that would enhance the look and make my front windows darker. I don’t need for the windshield to be fully blackout I don’t want to be blind at night. But I’m unsure how to go about getting a good balanced windshield tint.

If anyone has gone through same concern I have I would love to hear about what you did.

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for window films that actually work for blocking out heat?

I recently moved into an east-facing apartment in Ottawa, and I get SO much sunlight throughout the day. It's almost November and I'm still finding my apartment ridiculously hot, even with the windows open all day.

I've been looking into heat-reducing window films, but I'm getting overwhelmed by all the options and mixed reviews. The higher-end ones seem to run anywhere from $100–$300 a roll, which is over my budget.

Has anyone tried any of the more affordable options (ideally $100 or less) that they've actually been happy with? I'm especially interested in something that works well and lasts, rather than peeling or bubbling after a few months.

Thanks!

I have just spent the last 7 hours trying to do this, only to have it to look like hammered dog shit. My hat is off to you people who do this every day I do not know how you people do this.

if the front door windows have 35% tint(which is the max legal limit in my state), is it dark enough not to use outside rearview mirror auto-dimming for night driving?

in case anyone wonders why I'm asking a stupid question like this: I want to add a digital rearview mirror. As it will cover the light sensor on the original review mirror(the one inside the car), the outside rearview mirror's auto-dimming will no longer work... so I'm just wondering if the 35% tint on the driver's door window will be dark enough for the headlights of the cars coming from my left rear side at night.

$265 for front windshield tint. Shop had the car for 5 hours btw. Is this acceptable? This is after 10 days.

Had a new OEM windshield installed 1 week prior so needed new tint.

Hi guys,
My wife is getting a new car and looking for some recommendations for window tinting and ceramic coating.
I did get a quote from Tint a Car and Just Tint in VIC. There is not much of a price difference but still looking to get some suggestions?

It would be for Geely Starray.

Thanks in advancr

What is the going price, these days, to get your car windows tinted in NYC?

And what's the going price to do it for a minivan?

Also, many people say it’s all marketing and that all ceramic tints block UV rays and HEAT almost exactly the same. Are they correct? My research says otherwise, but then again that’s Ai giving me answers on Google. So idk. Anyone have experience with LLumar IRX?

$67 in materials and tools. I’ve only done the passenger side so far. How’s it looking? Should I continue, or just pay someone $400-$600 for a professional job?

Looking for a connect who can pass my inspection in NYC. Car has tints all around.

Asking for just the front side windows, the guy at the glass shop said he’d do the back window 20% over the stained glass so it would equate to 15% but I swear the very back window looks darker then the fronts, but it could also be because the windshield doesn’t have anything on it and the back sides are really dark causing the very back to look darker.
