Hello guys, im having the worst trouble shrinking the rear window on this Honda Oddyssey... and advice or tips I can get? The glass is very curved at the ends witch makes nearly impossible
Last reply by b_faulk75, -
What a difference. The rear window is one of the easiest rear windows to install now. No more wiper motor and wireing. for honda's new design. Computer cut users. The rear windows on this one fit perfect I didn't even have to file. The rear doors back took me 40 minutes from start to finish.

by Guest abreathoflife- 11 replies

I got my tint done about 6 months ago I got 5% and the rubber thats at the base of the inside of the window has like glue or something on it and its melting and causing like glue balls and smears on the inside of my window. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Also, the rubber thats on the outside right side (if you're facing the window) is supposed to go on the outside of the window and it curls up whenever I am rolling up the window and the window doesnt fit right anymore, it is rolling the rubber onto the inside of my window. No of the other windows have problems, I would be greatful if anyone had suggestions or help for me. Thanks! Ryan

Solar Gard True Grey vs Smoke
by Guest fowweezer- 1 reply
- 2.9k views
The dealer scratched the tints on my 01 Prelude while repairing other superficial damage on the vehicle due to a car accident. The dealer is paying for the replacement tints but the tint shop put Solar Gard Smokey on the 3 scratched windows and I originally had Solar Gard True Grey. Can someone tell me the difference between the two colors and if the Smokey one is moderately reflective? I've had the new tints for 5 days and I don't like how it looks (Smokey seems to be yellow as if it's reflecting the sun) in the shade or direct sunlight. ...And, do you think if I order the tint from the shop that originally installed it (I've moved out of state for school) would the new/…

2006 Accord felt or no felt?
by Guest BoomerSooner- 6 replies
- 2.8k views
First, this forum is great, spending a few hours reading post on here has been invaluable before going out to look for a reputable tint shop here in Vegas. I am a bit confused though, as I have read somewhat conflicting reports about Honda replacing the hard window gaskets with a softer material in latter production models, yet I have also read that the Accord is one of the must felt cars due to the continued use of the hard gaskets. Not sure what to do, do I pay to get the felt on my car, or somehow check to see if mine has the hard gaskets or something different? Again, my thanks go to the people on this forum, you guys know your stuff and help us tint virgins make s…

does tinting 06 Accord make the car more noisy 1 2
by Guest joe4tint- 10 replies
- 2.8k views
Hi, I read somewhere online that someone's Accord became more noisy inside after they tinted the car. He said this was caused because felt needs to be used (to replace the factory panels?) before window tint can be applied (otherwise scratches occur). >> Is this true? >> Has anyone experienced increased noise insdie the car after they tinted their Accord? Thanks, Joe

05 accord back window problems
by Guest cav444- 3 replies
- 2.1k views
Doing a 05 ccord coupe. sides went excellent. Had a lot of trouble with the back. 1st problem was when the tint was rolled against the back window I had no room to unroll it due to the airbag equipment in the pillars? I ended up rolling it sideways, which took a lot of positioning to get in the right spot afterwards. big problem however is I cannot fit my hand in the bottom portion of the glass near the 3rd brake. removed the deck for more room still not enough. I cannot get a card or squeegee at the correct angle to push bubbles more than 1.5" (or about the bottom most defrost line) from the edge. My big ol hands will just not fit in there. I need some kind o…

2006 Honda Accord Tint Problems
by Guest Seeker- 6 replies
- 6.8k views
I have a 2006 Accord and the shop originally did not put in felt strips. A week later it started scratching so I was charged more money for them to put in felt strips. After that if you roll down the window within 2 days after washing or it raining water streaks on the inside. Now for the second time the felt has come off and leaves a sticky residue on the inside window. Is there another way to do this? Is anyone else having the problem with the moisture on the inside? The felt coming off? Please help!

Got one to tint on Saturday and haven't done a 98 before. How's the brakelights on these things? Can you just take them out, or is it a rear deck R&R? If the rear deck needs to be R&R'd, can it be done without too much of a headache? Hope it's not a can of worms.

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?
