Alrite guys I can pretty much do everything myself on my car. The one thing I can't is tint so I took my car to a shop to have it tinted. 14 days later I roll down my windows and look what I see. Now I should have researched but handed over --- bucks for my 4 door car tint all around except windshield. Correct me If I'm worng but this doesn't do right. Shouldn't the tint be pretty much all the way to the edge of the window? It looks like crap with the window rolled down. I could understand a little gap but this? I mean come on.

GHETTO! right? This was a recomended shop(and the only one lol) in the town in Michigan I loved. I just moved and I waited 14 days and how convenient I moved to florida and THEN I rolled the windows down for the first time. I'm gonna call and be in contact with them. Like people say negative refrences can hurt much more. Hopefully they will give me my money back. Tmr I'm gonna go to some shops here in Sarasota and get estimates. The only window I'm happy with is the rear window. I mean I am picky but I know "nothigns perfect" but this just was too much. Lol. Please give me some supporting statements for when I talk to the shop tmr.

that looks like a town car or something similar to that, am I right?For that amount of money,I would have expected better. Before you go in and request a refund, please give them the chance to make it right.

I just moved to Florida, the car was done 2 weeks ago in Michigan. It's a buick roadmaster. Similar. Exactly for --- I think that it should be pretty close to perfect.

      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!
