got a couple to do. did one tonight at the dealership the quarters are tinter freindly now no having to pull quarters. the rollups need to be shrunk, I normally strectch film but these get some gnarly fingers so save yourself the trouble the lower seals can be tucked and flipped up prettys easy. the back glass seems to be easier to shrink than the last and the back deck is different comes up a little on each lower corner like the newer subaru legacy sedan I think.

Just finished the 2012 Civic Coupe......overall, easy car to tint. BG has dot matrix all around, including the one on top as the previous model. Bulldozer highly recommended for the BG. For panel pullers, just pull top gasket back...plenty of room to slip film behind. 30 min tops.

Anyone done one? There is a big contraption attached to the windshield where the rear view mirror mounts. I don't want to risk getting that wet and wrecking it. I wonder if it can be removed from the windshield? I might get lucky and be able to do the windshield out of the car since they may already be replacing it due to a rock chip.

Civic hatchback BG 1 2

I have tried 3 times now to tint this BG, on a 96 Honda civic hatchback. I'm no way near a pro only have done maybe 10 cars. This one is kicking my ass I'm having problems with corners to shrink them down. I look up the other 2 topic on this model BG, and tried that was said in them. I left the top and bottom long so I could tried to pull and shrink it but I can't seem to get it, I even tried during it on low heat.

A heads up on removing the plastic surround which hides 2 screws behind it where the internal door trim grab handles are..... There is a tiny slot at the bottom for a screwdriver to be inserted to release this poor design plastic U shaped clip. Once inserted, you have to push down in order to release this moulding and then it will come out. It's a shocking POS and to the inexperienced it can be damaged. Same with the rear doors but be very careful of the large plastic black moulding which sits on top of the door trim in the corner. This triangle piece has to be edged out from the rear section of it as there is a central plug and the larger vertical side pivots on rem…

Looks like a 30 min Tint. But those easy ones seem to make my day horrible? Is there any little tricks to this one? O and its a race car do all the plastics and all the inside of the car its bare metal so no removal of interior will be necessary. Thanks in advance. I'm possibly just stressing a cake job.

I really under quoted on this one. First off the far rear sides are different sizes (can't double cut). The ones I've done the rear windows don't roll down, which are cake, but these roll down and you have to climb in one side of the car to install. These also have very skinny 1/4's behind the rolls downs, they have a matrix and are easy, but still is another set of windows. ...9 windows total. I'm gonna price this one much higher than a large suv.

Had to do the back window & 1/4's of a new 2012 CRV the other day .. That back glass was NOT fun! Granted I'm no professional as some of you professionals are, but they deffinatley made it harder to shrink. Easily took me 2-3 times as long as the previous ones used to. 1/4's easy, doors (though this customer didn't want them done) looked dead easy just like the old ones. Just a heads up. Here's a link to the pic of it: https://picasaweb.google.com/113410015113161550181/WindowTint#5769179508056471234 iPad makes it so hard to post pics.

1988 honda accord back glass
by Guest lone-tinman- 8 replies

So I am a rookie but when I started tinting I had a really experienced mentor (almost 30 years). I do not have him anymore as I regretably have moved on from his company. Anyway, I have now twice tried to shrink and install back glass on friend's 88 Accord. Looked relatively easy, but not so much. I used the drier sheet method as I have used before, shrank most of the window with no issues. The edges of the window gave me serious hassle where the curve is the greatest. I expected that. However I was able to finally get it shrunk down after an hour of fighting with it. The first install I cut my usual 1/8" past dot matrix. This did not work! It was too big. Plus I realiz…

2012 Honda Odyssey Stock UVA/ UVB Rating?
by Guest pulp25- 0 replies
- 1.2k views
Hi I just purchased a 2012 Honda Odyssey EX-L. No one at the dealership could even guess at the stock uva/ uvb rating on this vehicles factory tint. Is there a resource to look it up, or is it possible to check it some way? I've looked everywhere I cant seem to find this information, I dont want to waste money on an aftermarket tint job if the van already has good ava/avb protection. Thanks in advance for any help!

Im new to tinting and have only been doing it for about 2 months so any help will be appreciated. The rear quarters on this car have been giving me %&$#. Im having a hard time cutting them right and laying it out so there is no gap. Any tips or tricks??? I read through all the other posts and nothing really shed any light on it for me. The rubber gasket just covers so much and I dont know how to get tint under it cleanly. Should I just remove the glass from the door? Id love to avoid that. Thanks guys I appreciate it.

Ok, i consider myself as a decent tinter and can dry/shrink much larger rear window that has little curve to it like 92 accord, 92 integra, 94 legend with no problem. But today i was shocked that this rear window kicked my butt. Is it just me or is this rear window harder than it is? I feel very discourage because its a freakin civic hatchback and the rear doesn't appear to be that big at all. I tried dry/wet method but with no success cuz of the big fingers in the corners. I am planning to attempt it one last time, but would like some advice first. Whats the best method for this particular window wet or dry? how should i anchor? please help, than…

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
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?
