Global HP Charcoal

Does HP Charcoal made my Global mess with the antennas in the back glass of cars? A few people have told me that it does, but I haven't had a problem with it.

IF there is a sat antenna in the rear deck then it will.....radio antennas are only going to be a problem if you are talking AM and it is one of the wire on the glass like a defroster line.....

Any HP film that uses traditional metals can cause a decrease in signal for radio frequencies.....the amount of metal and the exact type of metal will make a difference as much as it being there in general!

Just use QDP... color stable, beautiful color, less expensive, lifetime warranty. What more could you ask?

anyone got any xtra rolls they are willing to sell...im looking for 20 and 5% and about 20"x100'.......lemme know..been looking for some but cant get ahold of any

An xtra roll of which one? Also where are you located?

hey DJ...what do you want to pay? What rolls are you looking for?

He is in North West Indiana....

Not entirely true.Metal tint also can affect the antenna line on the B/G of key fob's.

so they put the antenna for key fobs on the rear glass? I have never thought about them being there and can't really imagine it either. Got any specific vehicles that you speak of?

Mercedes and BMW.I own '95 7 series.Back in '98 I installed a metalic type tint.Did not know at that time what a metal tint could do to the electronics in a car.For years I delt with the key fob not functioning properly.I would stand next to the car and sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't.Most of the time I would have to move the key fob around to get the signal to connect.So,in '03 I removed the tint and to my surprise "NO MORE PROBLEMS".Also had a customer bring in a '06 C-class Benz.I explained all the do's and dont's about metal tint.She had just traded in her '04 C-class, that was tinted elsewhere,and said that the car would not lock/unlock like it should.We installed a non metal tint.NO PROBLEMS with signal interfernce.

good to know

yeah every bmw upgrades because we tell them bought the keyless. for some strange reason it only decreases the signal on hot days. no joke.

lil


idk what the price is.and yes im in northwest indiana.lowell to be exact.and i was looking for 20 and 5%'s in a 20x100 foot roll...im just curious.looking for a good film at a good price.i hear global hp is good to use.just throw a price at me.and i would like to thank u for all the help u have given...really practicing hard and its paying off...

also forgot to mention that i have been using thetintcenter.com's tint and its scratching unbelieveably....tint center what do u think....im doing all the right things.just dont know why its scratching so dang bad

Doing it wrong..........

bad squeeege

What tint are you using. I just went to thetintcenter.com and there isn't a site. If your scratching the film either your squeegee is chipped or dirty or there is dirt on the film when you squeege it. Got any pics?

il be uploading the pics tomorow

The only thing that can really make it scratch is a bad squeegee, or using the wrong type of squeegee. you can't use a "hard card" which is plastic, it must have a rubber edge in order to be used directly on the film

or really bad film.... I got a 36x100' roll for something less than --$ from ebay, just so I could offer the $-- special to people who would have nothing else....


I could not install it for the life of me, it would scratch the instant I took my orange crush to it... even my yellow turbo would cause scratching...

just my experience
