I got my tint done about 6 months ago I got 5% and the rubber thats at the base of the inside of the window has like glue or something on it and its melting and causing like glue balls and smears on the inside of my window. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Also, the rubber thats on the outside right side (if you're facing the window) is supposed to go on the outside of the window and it curls up whenever I am rolling up the window and the window doesnt fit right anymore, it is rolling the rubber onto the inside of my window. No of the other windows have problems, I would be greatful if anyone had suggestions or help for me. :lol2

Thanks!

Ryan

Aight thanks man. It's w/e is on the interior base of the window, it brushes up against the window when you roll it up and down. It has like felt on it and the glue is melting b/c the window gets so hot I guess.

when you had it tinted did the tinter put any aftermarket felt on the inner mldgs...if so that may be the problem..I have repaired a few ...some of the cars do not have felt on those mldgs from the factory anymore and what they have now will scratch the tint....what sounds like to me is the adhesive that was put on to protect your tint has failed and need replaced go back to the shop you had it done at show them....the smeary stuff will come off and not damage the tint but fix the mldgs first

      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?

      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!
