Looks pretty smooth. This new model does have front quarter windows however they are factory tinted like the rear. The front roll ups have a black edge on both sides. Should make for a pretty easy window film install.

Doing full vehicle including windshield on this next week at an NFL players house garage an hour away, anybody done one? I have not seen one in person or know if there is anything to watch out for or electronics behind panels to cover up.

Seems to be the same windows are the previous years. Sweep still needs to be cut if you’re a bottom loader. Front corners are a little tight. I recommend a little extra slip for these ones but other than that pretty straight forward.

Anyone ever have somebody ask about the rear lights after tinting fronts only? Someone asked me if I disconnected them while tinting it and I about fainted wondering if they got sensors or something electrical for the rear lights hiding in the front door As you can tell by the question I don't pull panels thanks....go tint now

super easy car, remove 1 screw at the end of the door panel then pop the top back. The gasket is in 1 complete piece with the sides so you will need to slice it to get just the bottom out. On the rear if you remove the molds you need to plug the cut outs in the metal with cloths or something otherwise the water will run into the roof liner. All n all get as many of these as possible.

New Range Rovers - WARNING!

Just putting this up for anyone that might not know Rangeys. But don't jump in the back of one of these and start spraying water like its on fire! open the trim behind the C pillar (both sides) and you'll see lots of techno/diagnostic stuff, like ECU's, suspension levelling sensors, dvd and bluetooth stuff. Protect it well with towels or something Just another thing, on the newer models the battery is under the bonnet, if you want to hook a supply up to the car, conect the negative to the chassis, not direct to the battery.

Landrover Discovery 99

Hi, I'm new to the site and tinting (about 20 cars), had a call for a 99 Discovery. He said he wanted the back sun roof tinted and everything from driver back... How do you do the sun roof and safari lights? Is the rest tricky as I'm guessing they're rubber gaskets, not dot matrix and full of gunk. I don't remove trim where possible, but can and have on some cars. Cheers

Guys this is a very easy install I did one today all glass is flat.The panels on this vehicle are very easy to remove if needed.You have to remove the screw for the door latch and then remove the electric window console,this should just pop up and then just pull on the panel not too hard and remove the weather strip peace of cake

Front Window Tint
by Guest AMG- 2 replies
- 6.9k views
I notice on many cars the front window has little spots around the outside of the window. If one is to have the front window or rear window tinted is there any way in insuring the film makes a good contact over the black spots so as to avoid bubbles and also look like it is original? I look forward to hearing your comments and feedback

Discovery

I am looking to tint the windows in my Discovery. Does anyone have any ideas as to what level of tint I should use. The purpose of tinting is for privacy and of course looks. The Discovery is Navy blue. Does anyone have any pictures so I can see what the Discovery would look like with tinted windows? What level of tinting should be used on the front passenger window and drivers window? I look forward to reading your comments. Thank you for the help with this. Regards, Andrew

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? -

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money! -

Boat window tinting tips
The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.- 1

Boat window tinting tips
Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!- 2
