Anyone have a chance to do one of these yet? I have 2 to do tomorrow and want to know if there is anything specific to look for or if they are similar to previous years.

alright cool. only been tinting for about a year so I try to look for any tips possible.

if you havent done one before the rear sliding doors roll down and theres a frame around the bottom back corner so access is tight. if you roll the window down you can pop the button and slide off the plastic piece. the top of the panel is forgiving I usually start from the back and pull it up and over the top to open up the bottom edge.

good luck with that youll have the hang of it by the time your done. then youll never want to see another. one other tip the rubber gasket thats stuck to the panel (that you be pulling over) the back side tends to seperate just a little reach your finger behind it and push the tab back down.

Just did two of these yeterday, and they have changed the little triangle piece. It is now attached to the molding, and did not want to come out, so I left it in. I managed to get the film in there, but it was a major PIA. Has anyone taken one of those off yet? I'm usually not a panel puller, but was tempted. The old ones were a lot easier, as that triangle piece came right out after you removed the button.

are you talking about the small triangle for the front windows or on the sliding door rollups? I have yet to tint front windows on a sienna yet but for the sliding door I pull the panels. takes about 5 minutes for both doors if that long, makes tucking a lot easier. I need to get pictures of the ones I have done. So far have tinted 18 out of supposed 35 Siennas being delivered to me for a Carpool company all in Llumar ATC 05 Limo.

on the rear roll down window, you can take the seal off without taking the panel off, just peel the top the the panel back and the corner triangle piece and the seal come right out

you do have to roll down the window and take the pop off the corner piece the is exposed one you roll down the window on the triangle cover area.

ya I know, but just more comfortable with taking the panel all the way off. so far its the only car I have taken the panel off of

      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.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      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?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      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!
