Beige Laminated Glass -sides & Blue hue on back
by Guest terry/sc- 3 replies
- 2.7k views
Mercedes S430 4-door 2003, gold paint. The windows look like regular beige tinted glass on sides & rear at first look. Rolled 4 door windows down and there's gold delaminating showing all across the top of all 4 glasses. At least, that's what I"m assuming it is. Doesn't flake off and there's a fine indent in the top of the glass and gold can't be felt on either side of glass. Assuming it's delamination because I did a '39 showcar couple of weeks ago which had the same problem on one window, but it was clear laminated glass. However, the rear glass has those extremely fine line defrosters. The top of the window has the antenna etc., & is beige or clear. Whe…

CL 600
by Guest Mo Evo- 0 replies
- 1.6k views
I did a new CL 600 Renntech edition. Beautiful black car, but whoa, those side quarter roll ups are a biatch to tint. The rear window was cake, as were the fronts. The quarters took me the majority of the time because, even though I have long tools, you just can't physically reach to the point at the rear of the glass. I did flip the lock mechanism on the front doors to trick it into thinking the doors were closed and therefore the windows sealed up, but still. I also taped around the edges because of the felt and fortunately, they came out ok with just a little dirt at the far reaches. I didn't want to use too much water either. Anyone have any secrets to doing these.

This is an old POS my boss booked this car and took the money so now I'm stuck with it. All the roll ups were cake despite the 23 years of curd build-up. My question is how do you do the back glass? It has a no boarder, rubber to rubber and it's laminated with an old school cell phone antanna on the glass. I have to figure it out this weekend I just told the custy I'm out of film to buy me some time, didn't feel like staying late. Anybody got any ideas how to do the back glass. My last resort is to call a glass guy and remove the glass to tint.

2008 C350 benz

I just tinted one on Saturday with Suntek Carbon film all the way around, and an hour or two later the customer calls up and says her bluetooth isn't working. I told her to check all her settings and get back to me, so she calls back an hour later and says it's working now, but has alot of static. I told her I'll call Mercedes Monday morning and find out if the film could be causing any problems. Has anybody else here had any similar issues using Carbon film. I figured since it has no metal it should be fine, that's why I sell the Carbon films for people with navi and stuff in their cars.

He does work at a Lexus dealer, and has never had to felt, how do you do that?? Is it really difficult. He is a nice guy and I really want to get him some business, but dont wanna ruin the tint in a yr. Also what do yall do to avoid messing up the motor in these cars? Thanks in advance. I really look forward to getting it all done.

Well I did this one last week and it looks like I more than likely fried that antenna module on the driver side rear pillar. I noticed right away when I finished it that the keyless did not work anymore, only worx while pointing at the driver door ir sensor. I even wrapped it up with paper towels. My guess is that water may have trickled down the wires connected to the glass straight into the plug. Hopefully ill get it out of here today. This is my first big mistake and hopefully the last.

I even called the MB dealer that sent it over and they tell me the rear windows can't be rolled up with the top down. Is there a way? I know on some of them you can hold the front window controls in the up position or double tap them and the rears will come up after a couple seconds. Not on this one though. I've already tinted one of them but I'm going to be spending more time pushing the crap out of it than it takes to tint the window. Eerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I've tinted slk's before. Not sure why I can't get these windows up.

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
