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?

What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
Gross 50-60? You could find that kind of revenue picking up cans. Whatever you're about to spend should be spent to market your own brand unless I'm reading this wrong. -

What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
Looking to buy an established commercial/residential business. The company has grossed about 50-60k annually for the past few years. There's not really anything as far as assets go. So I'd basically be buying the phone number and 25+ years of being an established business. Just trying to get an idea of what I should be paying! Thanks in advance!! -

Removable rigid window tint sheets - WTF?
I created an account just to respond here. I'm not a "tinter" or whatever yall may call yourselves but I came across this product and thought that it looked pretty cool and something I could do myself. I ordered from Lazeway and spent like $150 for two packages. The product is from China although they claim all this America stuff on the website. All i received was two simple rolls of tint, nothing special. I was totally scammed and now I'm looking all over the internet for anyone talking about this product to let them know. Dont buy from them.- 2

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening. -

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you -

Process
Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?
