Hey I really need some help on this. I dont normally get many cadillacs in my shop but today I did. Its a 2004 cadillac deville. I pulled it in the shop turned off the radio and began to prep the car. I removed the antenna off the rear window also. Did not reinstall it. I usually take to another winshield shop her so it gets put on and doesnt fall off. Delivered it back to the customer and just got a phone call from them and the radio does not work? What could have happened. Is it because the antenna is not installed. The radio seems to be working it just has no sound apparently. Thanks for the help

I'm guessing that it is because the antenna is not installed :gasp that would be the most obvious reason.

Why don't you install them after you remove them. Clean off the old double stick tape and install new 3M tape on it and that should be fine. Their on-star is most likely not working either. :thumb

I have a family member just down the street who installs them for me no charge but couldnt get it in today. Im confused because a cd has no sound eaither so why would the antenna effect the cd audio

yeah it was working and as soon as I pulled it in the shop the radio went out but I assumed it was from going inside the metal building. It does that on alot of cars especially thoses with XM radio. Im concerned about this issue did something get wet is there something about a cadillac deville you have to be extra careful with. . . factory amps speakers getting wet.

First thing I would do is install the antenna. Then check fuses. Then :p1ss and I don't know. I have been there before and don't like it.

One customer with an 83 C series benz told me that her door locks didn't work after I tinted her car. I gave her the number to a friend that is a locksmith. :thumb

:gasp Check the top part of the glass on drivers side and see if its unplugged the outside antenna is only for onstar not the radio

Oh ya that little tiny antenna button thingy way to go tintman :beer

I did unplug it and plugged it back in but even with it unplugged a cd should still work. the customer has the vehicle now so I cant inspect it myself but was hoping someone else has had this problem before

      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!
