New Suzuki Swift Watch when fitting Sunstrips..... Put plenty of towels etc at the bottom of the windscreen on the inside, the ECU is mounted in the drivers foot well and plugs are facing upward, I used a small amount of water for cleaning and fitting the strip and it ran down the 'A' Pillar and into the ECU! The wipers and radio came on and relays started clicking! I nearly SH!T myself lol I disconnected the battery in a panic and pulled the ECU out, a small drip of water came out of the housing! I took out the main board and dried it, cleaned and put back in with no problems! Could have been an expensive lesson but I got off with it! Lesson Learned! Take care

tinted a new reno hatchback today, while the car itself is a piece of crap as its a suzuki the car is super easy to tint. the back hatch glass is pretty flat compared to most cars and the rear rolldowns can be done without pulling panels, I wish they were all like this as I would be a rich man.

Hi - There aren't many posts here to do with the new Suzuki Swift. As I'm a fairly new tinter and have never done a swift, I always check the forums to make sure from the more experienced tintiers that there are no problems or specific things you need to watch out for. Can I assume that this is a straight forward car to tint. Many Thanks

New model out now, fairly simple but for those who pull trims....... It's very easy to get the trim off, just 2 screws and the panel can be removed. However at the top of each door it has a rubber insert and this is a bitch to pull out. Instead of just being slotted into the metal groove, these rubbers have teeth! Why they are so hard to pull up is because the strips anchor in behind metal indents (4 in the front and 3 in the rears) which therefore lock them into effectively a one way position. A lot of effort is required to get them out with some swearing to boot but be careful not to bend them. Rear 1/4 also has tight access. One piece very easy in the rear and n…

Nice car, no door trim removal necessary on any of the doors, just lift the gasket out. Not a nice rear screen however as it is very bent and fixed 1/4 vent is one of those with the inner rubber tricky to get into as it comes back onto the glass and it is reasonably tight for room to install. devil

I just thought this was a funny post, I did my first 1998 Suzuki Swift the other day, didnt even know suzuki made cars, hahaha ...but im pretty sure the designer of this car took a look at an egg and said " hey I wonder if we can make the windows this shape!", lot of shrinking on that one...cant say that I hope to see another one of those anytime soon!

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
