I tinted a 07 Ford Escape the other day.

The back glass is A LOT easier than previous models. Its changed and has matrix around the shocks that hold up the window. The rollups are the same BUT they have runner surrounding the glass instead of the felt they did have. The bottom gasket is still felt like before.

Overall this vehicle is way easier to tint now.

yes the new superdutys are very easy to tint now with the boarder... :welcome

I think that the fronts are the same as the older years too :beer

yup those sliders are cake now.Front doors are the same but the seem to be tighter up front. I think they crammed to much stuff up in those fronts to provide for the electric mirrors coming in and out :thumb

      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?

      Hi All, How reliable are manufacturer provided Technical Specifications for Window Tint? I've compiled a list of tints based on manufacturer provided technical data & looking for insights into long term ownership with respect to scratch resistance, colour fade, impact on driver visibility, etc. Basically, I'm looking to narrow down the choice of products but different installers recommend different product lines. 3M Ceramic IR Series IR 35 for Front Side Windows 3M Ceramic IR Series IR 25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Retro IRP 35 Nano-ceramic Black Armor Elite Nano Ceramic Series E38 for Front Side Windows Black Armor Select Ceramic Series S38 for Front Side Windows Black Armor Select Ceramic Series S20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Llumar MEP Ceramic CNP35 for Front Side Windows Llumar MEP Ceramic CNP20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Fusion NX 38 Nano-Ceramic for Front Side Windows Ultragard Fusion NX 27 Nano-Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR40 for Front Side Windows Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR33 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Solargard VTX Pro Premium Ceramic Window Film 35 for Front Side Windows SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR40 Black for Front Side Windows SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR 30 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR 20 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP45 Black for Front Side Windows SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP25 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP 35 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek Evolve 35 ceramic for Front Side Windows SunTek Evolve 20 ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek Evolve 30 ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S5-35 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S5-20 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S5-30 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S7-35 for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S7-20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S7-30 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S9-35 for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S9-20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S9-30 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Carbon 35 for Front Side Windows ASWF Carbon 28 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Carbon 20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Dimension IRP 40 Nano-Ceramic for Front Side Windows ASWF Dimension IRP 25 Nano-Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Excel IRP 35 for Front Side Windows ASWF Excel IRP 25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Dimension X DX40 for All Windows

      Forgot to mention; if your house is under HOA, you may have to check in with them. Some, eh hem, many seemingly shy away from having a reflective look to the glass. A dual reflective with a visible light transmission of 35% (ex: NV35) would likely be more palatable to HOA, but not so happy for the owner. Your position to take with them is: The higher the reflectivity of a film product, the better when dealing with desert heat. There exists a necessary (physics) compromise in every window film transaction. Can't please all parties. Glad I could help educate.

      Thank you very much Tinguy1980, I was just about to mess it up. I appreciate your insight! I would have never guessed that the products I was thinking about "run counterintuitive to the use of the product" for the excessive heat. Frankly it does get so hot in that room that at this point I am less about how it looks and more about performance, during summer the AC never stops running in that room, electricity prices here in Las Vegas is up there hence I am trying to invest in ways to cool that room down. Once more thank you for your help I do appreciate it.

      Personally knowing what it's like in Vegas when it's hot, I would stir clear of any film TSER performance value less than 60% or a solar heat gain value greater than 40%. Prestige does not fit this and would be a big waste of good money. Huper Optiks' ceramic products have high solar energy absorption rates, so in hot environments these kind high absorptive films run counterintuitive to the use of the product while using air conditioning to cooling the interior. High absorption on the inside pane, where most films are applied will radiate that absorbed heat toward the room. Outside breezes across the exterior surface of the window will not be as effective in cooling down the interior than say a low absorptive film, high solar reflection film product. In this case, low absorptive/high solar reflection products should be a go-to such as: 3M's Night Vision15 or NV25, Vista Film's Dual Reflective18 or DR 28, LLumar's DR15 or DR25 (which closely matches 3M NV), or Madico's Optivision in and around the same number assignment. The numbers assigned to films represent the visible light transmission of the product. When a dealer comes out to assess and likely have and leave samples, use the samples as sunglasses by wrapping over your eyes a viewing out and in the room. This gives you a more precise idea of what the film will look like once applied. A small sample placed on the glass will always appear darker than having the entire panel tinted. Good luck.
