First, this forum is great, spending a few hours reading post on here has been invaluable before going out to look for a reputable tint shop here in Vegas. I am a bit confused though, as I have read somewhat conflicting reports about Honda replacing the hard window gaskets with a softer material in latter production models, yet I have also read that the Accord is one of the must felt cars due to the continued use of the hard gaskets. Not sure what to do, do I pay to get the felt on my car, or somehow check to see if mine has the hard gaskets or something different? Again, my thanks go to the people on this forum, you guys know your stuff and help us tint virgins make sense of it all. I'm going with %35 PP all around, so with the price, I have no prob going ahead and felting for a bit extra, to make sure it lasts and doesn't f-up when rolling down the windows.

Thanks again all..

needs felt. If you want to check for yourself, roll the window all the way down , look at the inside gasket on top of the door panel. peel it back a little with your finger. look to see if it is "fuzzy". if no fuzzy, needs felt. good luck, and pp35 is a good choice.

Personally if it was my car and the gaskets wernt made out of felt I would pay extra to have that changed...Not only will it save the life of you window tint, but it will also save the life of your glass...Walk around a parking lot at a walmart or the mall and look at a new mustang and you will see the deep scratchs that some hard gaskets can leave...this is the end result of a badly designed hard P.O.S. gasket...

I'm a little confused here. I read some other threads that felted gasket is bad. In this threads, many opted for felted gaskets? Care to explain more?

Newbie here, btw. 1st post, but long-time lurker. :beer

      Did you get this taken care of? What were the results and are you pleased?

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Take a look at 3M's Nightvision or LLumar's Dual Reflective series, they both have a warm tone to them.

      Steer clear of Black Armour, Suntek, ASWF. The others are good choices if you are in Australia. Check out the reviews of the installer too. It’s not just the materials that have to be proper. Never go for the cheapest!!!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come.

      LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar.

      Hook up with Glassy Business and get all the ins and outs of pro vs DIY with window film. That company goes back way before my retirement in 2015. I want to believe they are/were a Vista Film dealer and I cannot remember the owner's name. Peace out.

      Once more thank you, you are the best I been looking at the specs for the products you mention and info into tinting a window. I recently did wrap my wife's car and it turn out really nice, for what I have been seeing tinting a window is similar and I am tempted to do it myself. With that said I can't find any place to buy the products you mention, I found quite a few films in Amazon but they seem sketchy. There is other web sites selling films but the ones you mention I can’t locate, anyhow is there any place where I can buy this products?
