I would rather pull my own teeth with a "Do it yourself dental kit" than install 8 mil window film on a car! What are you nuts or something? We sell 30 or so commercial safety film jobs a year but I wouldn't even consider doing a friggin car!

a 2 mil or something similar for crash safety wouldn't be too bad, but I couldn't imagine a 4 or 8 mil. You'd definately have to pull the glass to do it. On some of the newer cars with the tight seals, the extra thickness might cause some problems also.

I've done 4 mil on FG before, and I can't see any way of tucking it into the sides and bottom of a roll up :lol2 And I've had cars in the past that the resistance of the film on the gasket(namely BMWs) causes the window to go up and down slower than before the tint. Putting a thick ass 8 mil on a car would surely cause the same issues.

Sounds like an uneducated assumption to me. Or just a guess. :dunno:lol

uneducated assumption? its simple logic to think that if you put a 1.5 mil window film on a window and it causes friction, that putting a 4 or 8 mil window film on the glass would cause the same friction, or worse?

FYI Scotty.... In Australia we tint all of our Police vehicles in 4 mil and I promise you that they have NO FRICTION ISSUES OR WORSE!! In this case your logic is FLAWED.
