2002 Saab 9-3

Got a call from a potential customer today that said a glass professional concluded that he had tinting laminated within the glass. The car originated in FL and he received a ticket in Michigan. Anyone heard of such a thing? I've seen some Lexus autos that appear to have a brownish non reflective tinting in the glass of all the car's windows but I don't see many Saabs. Any input is appreciated. Thank you. - FB

it has 4 window on the side plus the back glass. The rear 1/4 window that is not on the rear roll down but next to back window it has to be shrink. and Lines around that window and the whole back glass. not a dot matrix, lines that come off about 3/4 in from those windows. and it hasnt been cleaned since 89, and it needs felt. and I need to tape gaskets cont. city. Any other help im guessing its gonna be a $$$ high end tint job when over. Doesnt look fun....

2003 93 sport sedan

I just purchased a green 2003 saab 93 sport sedan. Today I recieved my tint in the mail. I purchased a precut kit from Tint Kits. Are there any tricks or challenges that I need to be aware of with this car? Which windows need to be shrunk? Would it be necessary to remove the door panels using a pre cut kit? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. thanks

This car is one of the easiest four door cars that I have done in a long time. It had gobs of room on the side seals and the rear window is very easy to shrink.

Another POS that needs felt. WTF?????? Panels pop right off though. Remove the arm-rest cover, (it just pops straight off), remove two hex bolts underneath it.....and the panels pop off.

Tint help for Black Saab 9-5 Aero.
by Guest mdevine- 9 replies
- 8.6k views
I just purchased a black 2002 Saab 9-5 Aero. It came with tinted windows. I was told that the tint is as dark as allowed in Indiana. The tint is too dark for me. I live in Rochester, NY. I would prefer a tint that is slightly darker then stock. Not reflective at all. Any recommendations for type of tint that I may want. would a smoke/grey color tint look ok on a black car? any brand of tint that is best? Thanks, Mike

Scratches?
by Guest 93turbo- 7 replies
- 5.4k views
I recently purchased a brand new saab 93 and had the windows tinted on it, after waiting 3 days like the installer had told me, I rolled the windows down and after putting them back up I saw a bunch of vertical scracthes on it, he said he can replace the tint but the only way to prevent that is to cut the inner seal. Is that true? Will more wind noise enter the cab? It just doesnt seem right that I should have to cut the seal on a brand new car? If anyone can give me some advice that would be great.

Judging from past Saab models, I wasn't sure what to expect on this one. Figures that I was totally over-scheduled when this one came in and the customer was waiting for it. Overall, this is a very simple car. Every window had to be shrunk... the side glass I wet shrunk, and the back was done dry. The back window was curved, all the way from the center of the glass, but the amount of curve was minimal enough that it was a simple shrink job. The door panel gaskets on this car pop right out without the removal of the panels, making installation of the roll-downs very simple.

Low angle haze
Im not that worried about brand recognition. Ive been getting work with Avery and its got little to no brand recognition as far as tint goes. I'm just looking for a good brand that I wont have an issue with. Avery is a fairly cheap option as far as Im aware, so I'm just getting ready to move into the big leagues with a more premium brand. Ive used STek's tint and I was pretty happy with the way it looked, shrank and the overall experience with customer service has been great too. I stopped using it because their specs feel like they are below par compared to the other premium brands. Specifically their TSER. Their NEX line seems to be compared to Xpel Prime XR Plus, but the specs were more on the line of Prime XR. Anyone know how that TSER number is calculated? Is it just a calculation combining light rejected, transmitted, reflected, etc? Looking into panaplex, autobahn, and global now. More specifically global because of recommendations.- 1

Low angle haze
I second the Global suggestion. If you can get past the color(khaki) of the 70% ceramic, it is the best performing film in their line. It has amazing heat rejection properties at a 70% film with very little low angle haze. I don't have anyone complain about it. If you install 50% on windshields then you will LOVE the Global 50% ceramic. One of the prettiest films i've dealt with and I would say "almost" zero low angle haze. It does not perform as well as the 70% in my opinion because they have almost the same "stats". @Dano Hang in there with the brand recognition. Just spit your knowledge and let them look it up if they want too. Global is my favorite of the "big 3" and the recognition is getting out there. -

Best place to learn window tint ppf
I am currently in the process of getting my detail business going in northern Alabama, and I feel that being able to add tint and ppf, would be a great addition and separate me from some other businesses. I have found a lot of these 2 day work shops, they range from 1 to 5 days, are any of them any good? I would assume the Xpel training etc would be quality, but I was hoping to find something a bit closer to home. I have no issue traveling but if I can find it here or like near Atlanta it would be a lot more convient. Any info on any of these class workshops would be appreciated, and if u got an idea I've overlooked. Let me know that as well,. Thx for the help fellas -

Low angle haze
I've had good results with the Global so far. No minimum requirements but also not much brand recognition in my area. -

Low angle haze
Basically, the technology that is blocking the heat is also creating the low-angle haze. Some films are worse than others, but they all have it. We've only had 2-3 customers complain about it in the last 10 years. So not a major issue at least for us.- 1

Low angle haze
I have been using Avery Dennison's NR Nano Ceramic IR but I keep seeing cloudy results or low-angle haze. I think some haze is acceptable as a trade-off for performance, but there are just some customers who may not be happy with the result. Does anyone know of a tint manufacturer that has little to no low-angle haze? Preferably one without a $10k minimum monthly buy-in or something crazy like that. Does this only affect ceramic tint? -
