I swear I've been to like 10 shops already and it seems as no one knows how to handle the dot matrix problem. I own a 2005 Honda Civic Coupe and the dot matrix is on the back window as well as the rear windows. If the shop claims to know how to deal with the problem I go ahead and look at a cars they've done and it looks plain ugly. I see the imperfections (it's black and white bc it's not sticking together). I think I've lost all hope unless someone can suggest a good shop where they REALLY know how to handle this problem. It's hot down here in Florida!

what do you expect from a bunch of **** h@ck shops.

as for the border around the outside edges....deal with it.

the matrix on the back glass...vynil it, and be done with it.

dude you drive a HONDA, not a bentley. as ong as the tint is quality and installed clean, you wont have issues.

keep in mind tint is meant to be looked through, not at...

Fair enough, but why settle if there's a solution? Yeah sure tint is meant to be looked through but who wants a ghetto looking tint job when you can get something better? Vinyl, yeah okay but nobody knows how to or they're just lazy. I went to this guy who was advertising "we know how to fix dot matrix" and when I get there he says it's too much work. What kinda business is that? So please if anyone out there knows any shop with the will and the skill to handle it let me know thanks.

      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.

      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!
