the new ones are a LOT easier than the old ones. The 07's and up don't have any buttons in the way of the glass or anything like that last time I rememered dunno.gif I don't see anything in pictures as to why the '10 would be different. It might have all that crap on it, but its not in the way :lol

yea that new ones are a walk in the park compared to the older models. if it is the year model that you are refering too, its not that hard. there should be nothing in your way except maybe the wiper motor...which all I do it cut really really close to the edge of the dots to where you can slide the tint behind that motor. the motor itself will block any gaps of lights that you may have from cutting the film too short...just try to get it close as possible. I sometimes remove the motor to get it prefectly in there, but only on a platinum job where every little thing can be seen.

The new body style is 08 and up. I have an 07 Birth Control and its the first gen. New models are cake compared to the 1st. I wont do them unless they pay the premium to remove the glass (on the 1st gen).

Its compareable to a Pathfinder back glass. The newest models are easier, even though they are still a pain, but not as bad as the old ones.

I wasn't sure if it was 07 or 08. Kind of like chevy with the new trucks, there was an 07 "classic" and the new style 07s :dunno

You must have ComputerCut because ours only cuts out for one defrost tab also. I like these new escapes. Theyre a walk in the park compared to the older ones.

I have computercut and it cuts out for both of these. :lol2

Escapes are a piece of cake in 2010. Love doin' them now.

I take off the gas shocks and then cut the film to fit around the window hinges and shrink the film once that is done

use a prop to hold up the window just long enough to slide film in place and then I put the gas shocks back in place to hold up the window to squeegee the film and then once done I heat up around where the gas shocks mount so when I reinstall them it doesn't twist the film but make sure you cut out the hole before you install the film

someday I will do video on this type of install so you new installers can learn how easy it is to lay out and install

      Residential Window Tint - Suntek SYDS vs. Solar Gard Slate vs. Madico Optivision

      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.

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      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?
