had 1 about a month ago & things did not go well. I know the back glass was cake and I think I got the rear rolldowns fine but I couldn't get those fronts! Couldn't slide the film back behind those tight azz seals and it had a long way to travel. No idea how to pop panels. Had to send her off while I tried to research the panels, she ended up with a free 3/4 tint job! Lesson learned there. So I have another coming Saturday and I'm not looking forward to it. Any help you all can offer would be much appreciated. Sorry for the long post. thanks

2006 S80

Right up front, let me tell you I am not "in the business" but I am seeking a voice of experience. I recently purchased a 2006 S80 that has black exterior paint with a "taupe" leather interior. exterior trim is silver chrome. Can you offer recommendations on what I should expect to pay and what type film material should be used to tint this vehicle? It is a 4 door and I'll be having tint all the way around minus the windshield. I live in Ocala, Florida and so far I've received 2 prices from 2 diffrerent businesses... $169 and $149 both businesses offer lifetime warranty on the job/film, using a metallic material (but not the silver mirror effect) from either "sunga…

Did one a week ago , had power everything with manual roll downs. Door panel tops pop out w/o tools and rubber slips right out , on the back glass it had the old style rubber mount with the obligatory goo sealant present . I took 000 steel wool to the defrosters as they were quite oxidized , all in all pretty straight forward car . Oh by the way not the one with the big ol' funky rearseat headrest in the way .

Howdy Yall, Just askin if anyone could give me a tip or two on how to get rid of a few stubborn fingers at the top portion of the back glass on a 01 VOLVO wagon,, I did it in one piece and I tried using the heat and they just really wanted to p1ss me off I guess. Did it last night now the owner is going to St. Louis for a couple of days , I said let it bake in the sun and I'll work on them when he gets back. Would yall suggest cutting away the top three inches and splicing in a piece or ,,,??? Sorry if yall have already went over this a million times already but any sugestions would be helpful ,thanks for this WebSite Tint Dude , it is very Helpful!

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
