Driver's side door. Moisture gets into the switch for the seat presets and makes the seat go wonky. Starts moving around on its own. Moves around while you're driving. Forgets customer's presets.

Looking for pics of window tint looking through driver side. Needing to replace mine because it's too refefletive. Hard to see through window because of interior reflections. Specifically like to see 15% and 20%. I will include pics of my 5%. This truck interior is super refefletive on 5% tint. The problem lies in the reflection of the defrost vent. Which blocks my only vision before my side mirror. Doesn't help I have window defectors also.

Easy money, one 7mm behind the handle and the top will roll back off the seal. It's a little tight going back on but no big deal.

Hi all, I'm just starting to tint windows while restoring my 1973 GMC Motorhome. I have some 50% tint from Solar Control Films Inc (their Superior NR Charcoal). I thought this would be a somewhat straightforward job since the windows are curved mostly in one direction. But I've been having trouble with finger bubbles at the edges and haven't been able to successfully heat shrink them. It is my understanding that you can only heat shrink to a factory edge ("with the grain"). Can anyone give me tips on tinting windows from this vehicle? See attached pictures. I am removing the glass from the frames to make it easier -- lots of dirt can hide in those …

just tinted this car 2 days ago. if you are a bottom loader, make it easy on yourself and pull the panels on this one. one screw behind upper handle and one screw below handle and the panels pop right off. the front door panels hump up towards the front of the window which makes it a pain to 2 stage. back glass is a cake walk dry shrink but only anchor horizonal across the middle. no "H' pattern. also on back glass before shrinking, trim the sides as close to the border without going over. that helps make shrinking alot easier. one my scale of 1-10 degree of difficulty scale, i give this car a 2. easy money.

how do you take the damn panel off on the newer gmc sierra trucks. this is the only truck that i cant figure out how to get the panel off. i know there's 2 screws behind the cover you pop off on the door handle but never seem to get the door off. i think it might have something to do with the door lever to open the door but i have no idea how to get that thing off either if thats what i need to do....anyone else have problems getting them off. ive been tucking all sierra's so far but it would be nice how to take the door off in case one comes back for peeling problems.

I tinted the front two doors on one of these the other day and notice they had laminated glass, I was out running errands and came back just in time to warn my employee who was just starting on the front passenger window. He hadn't noticed and probaly would have heated the hell out of the window. Sometimes I feel almost like a babysitter instead of a shop owner. I just though I'd warn everybody else just in case they don't happen to realize the windows are laminated.

by Guest NthDegreeDetailing- 5 replies

New to the forum, seeking advice and found this site. I am writing on behalf of my husband (he is the tinter). He is currently working on a job that has him about to pull his hair out. He is working on a 93 GMC 3500 Extended cab. His issue is with the rear window, it is a 4 pc slider and the rubber is different from the inside to the outside and has shrunk in some places. Does anyone have any tips on how to lay it even without ruining the film or just on this window in general? Thanks All!

Instead of me always asking you eperienced guys what to do, which will change in time as I go, how can I found out how to match tint to a factory SUV tint. I`m going to be doing a GMC yukon, it looks like smoke to me. I measured the tint with my tint meter, it read 18%. What would be a match?

Low angle haze
I've got the ceramic 70 in a heat/light cube with the ceramic 30, HP30 and clear glass. That stuff is amazing, especially when you can see it side by side. I suspect it's two layers of ceramic base films laminated together to meter at 70vlt. I hope they never change it. Thanks @Bham. Believe it or not I really enjoy educating the customers to find out what they really need and not try to oversell just to turn a buck. Most of my new clients come from older referrals and when they find me I keep em for years. For sure more people are catching on to the product name and I've yet to have a piece of HP or the ceramic fail that wasn't my own fault. It's nice to know I'm not paying for a bunch of marketing collateral and a butt kissing salesman to travel around pass out tshirts and coffee cups that's added into the cost of my roll stock. -

Low angle haze
Im not that worried about brand recognition. Ive been getting work with Avery and its got little to no brand recognition as far as tint goes. I'm just looking for a good brand that I wont have an issue with. Avery is a fairly cheap option as far as Im aware, so I'm just getting ready to move into the big leagues with a more premium brand. Ive used STek's tint and I was pretty happy with the way it looked, shrank and the overall experience with customer service has been great too. I stopped using it because their specs feel like they are below par compared to the other premium brands. Specifically their TSER. Their NEX line seems to be compared to Xpel Prime XR Plus, but the specs were more on the line of Prime XR. Anyone know how that TSER number is calculated? Is it just a calculation combining light rejected, transmitted, reflected, etc? Looking into panaplex, autobahn, and global now. More specifically global because of recommendations.- 1

Low angle haze
I second the Global suggestion. If you can get past the color(khaki) of the 70% ceramic, it is the best performing film in their line. It has amazing heat rejection properties at a 70% film with very little low angle haze. I don't have anyone complain about it. If you install 50% on windshields then you will LOVE the Global 50% ceramic. One of the prettiest films i've dealt with and I would say "almost" zero low angle haze. It does not perform as well as the 70% in my opinion because they have almost the same "stats". @Dano Hang in there with the brand recognition. Just spit your knowledge and let them look it up if they want too. Global is my favorite of the "big 3" and the recognition is getting out there. -

Best place to learn window tint ppf
I am currently in the process of getting my detail business going in northern Alabama, and I feel that being able to add tint and ppf, would be a great addition and separate me from some other businesses. I have found a lot of these 2 day work shops, they range from 1 to 5 days, are any of them any good? I would assume the Xpel training etc would be quality, but I was hoping to find something a bit closer to home. I have no issue traveling but if I can find it here or like near Atlanta it would be a lot more convient. Any info on any of these class workshops would be appreciated, and if u got an idea I've overlooked. Let me know that as well,. Thx for the help fellas -

Low angle haze
I've had good results with the Global so far. No minimum requirements but also not much brand recognition in my area. -

Low angle haze
Basically, the technology that is blocking the heat is also creating the low-angle haze. Some films are worse than others, but they all have it. We've only had 2-3 customers complain about it in the last 10 years. So not a major issue at least for us.- 1

Low angle haze
I have been using Avery Dennison's NR Nano Ceramic IR but I keep seeing cloudy results or low-angle haze. I think some haze is acceptable as a trade-off for performance, but there are just some customers who may not be happy with the result. Does anyone know of a tint manufacturer that has little to no low-angle haze? Preferably one without a $10k minimum monthly buy-in or something crazy like that. Does this only affect ceramic tint? -
