I am suprised that nobody has mentioned this car. This is the one with the back glass that has 90 degree curves on both sides. I have done two in my life and never want to see another in my shop again! Thank goodness they don't design them like that anymore!

Hey, I just got a call about tinting a Sky. I can't even say I have seen one other than the pictures online just now. Should this be an easy one or a PITA? Anyone?

i have a 1994 twin cam... 1 2 3
by Guest curiousjane- 27 replies

Hi lovely Tintdude people: I notice people aren't fans of putting film on old Saturns. I've been wanting to get a film forever on my 94 twin cam, since it gets hot here in LA. I am looking at Charcool (maybe - I actually don't want color, just to block UV and heat...), and I have found (online) a reputable installer (though if you have suggestions, feel free) here. But should I worry about whether they're going to do it right? Are there enough people with old Saturns putting films on that most installers will have had experience with it? Will it be obvious if they do a bad job? I am not a "car person." Your input is much appreciated.

did a saturn aura sat. at saturn there mobile tint guy out of business. customer very picky last tinter did the back glass 2 times already it was a small spot nothing to worry about but the asked me to redo the window anyways . I noticed after I cut the patern to match the way the last tinter cut around the brack light you had to remove the rear deck which when taken out the rear break light comes out with it. what a pain in the ass. but easy to to tint with nothing blocking you from the window. wouldn't want to tint aura every day. nothing hard about the car just removing rear deck not what I want to do for a back glass .

1992 Saturn Sedan 1 2 3

Tried one of these yesterday with nooooo luck. tried 35NR on rear glass, in one piece. Dryer sheet (couldn't find my ivory). I could not for the life of me get it to shrink right. I've seen a bunch of these cars 2-pieced, is that a lot easier on these? If so, whats the technique. I'm extremely frustrated on this one, luckily it is a friends car. Any help, hints, trix on this window would be greatly appreciated.

2008 Astra (5dr)
by Guest rubberbizkitt- 0 replies

Not very difficult and pretty quick to complete. 4 doors and a hatch. no 1/4 glass. Door glass frame trim do not come out like the Ion, at least I don't think they do. I didn't feel the need to try and remove them. Front doors are simple, theres alot of room so you can cut your tint big. Rear doors are a little tight on the back edge so be generous on your cut. back glass is small, less then 18" high. Slight curve with a few fingers to shrink.

One of the regional facilities managers from a chain of banks wants this done for his daughter. He brings me a fair amount of commercial work. Any info on this car and its difficulty? I want to cut him a good deal as long as its not a PITA. I know the older ones are big time PITA. Thanks for any info. FB

Hey everyone, is anybody here a fan of Michael Waltrip?. I love NASCAR and I just was looking on the NAPA site (one of his sponsors) and found their new Spin-Flow filter. Im thinking about getting one for my car but I need some feedback on it. I know that NAPA makes the best so I?m not worried about its quality, but I would like to hear other peoples opinion on it:) Oh, there is also some instant win contests running. I found everything at the links below. Check them out, the sites are pretty cool! <snip> No spam please

Saturn Vue

The inner top piece of plastic on all four door panels may scratch the surface of film when windows are raised and lowered. The solution is to line this area with felt that has adhesive backing. (at least I hope it is) We had to redo one today so keep this in mind.

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
