Do any of the members here do sunroofs in the DALLAS/ FORT WORTH area? Nobody in this town does them and we have people ask all the time.

Do any of the members here have a reputable shop they can recommend?

:nope

I'll call some of my buds, I dont remember.

Beleive it or not I went to a sunroof training class at AFF in the early 90's when these things were just getting real popular. I just never could get up the nerve or interest to cut into someones roof :nope

Solarspot might know

The REAL reason why it's hard to find someone to do a decent job in aftermarket sunroofs is because it's a lot of work and risk for the $$$ on today's vehicles..most auto glass places would rather make money in other aspects of the business ...when you do find someone..they charge a lot to make it worth their while ..or so I've found around here anyways :nope

:cool

In 1980 my Dad and I took 11 months to build this car. When we taped the template on to cut the roof, he checked it with the frame and the damn thing would have fallen through. :nope:nope

The jerks put the wrong template in the box. :cool

There is a shop in my area that does them and they do a great job.

But, IMO aftermarket s/roofs are trouble from the word go.

I work on many of them for leaks, they last just long enough for the warranty to expire and crap out

or start leaking like mad.

Then every few years or maybe months, they discontinue a model and you have to replace instead of repair them. (No parts avail. for discontinued models).

IF and I mean IF you would want someone to cut a hole in your roof and fabricate a goofy lookin headliner

just so you can have a sunroof, definately take it to a shop that sells ASC sunroofs.

They design and build most of the true O.E.M. s/roofs for the manufacturers.

IMO not worth the trouble, trade yours in for one that has a "factory" s/roof. :blah:blah

      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.

      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!
