Hello,

I'm sorry to ask this on this forum but I have no idea what to do.

I had my ford focus 2003 windos tinted and when I left with my car the radio did not work, I could turn it on but it was going scanning permanentely without stoping at any station, and I couldn't even turn it off, I had to turn off the engine. Somebody told me it was because of the tinting and to wait a few days, but it has been 3 days and my radio is still not working.

What should I do? Should I hate the tint from the windows?

Thank you

cant see it being a tint problem, the aerial is on the roof and not printed on the glass as it is on BMW's etc, unless they have done something absolutely mental to it, possible trapped speaker wire inside door, I had this on my BMW when a back shock had been changed and a speaker wire had been trapped, speaker signal going straight to earth shuts the amplifier inside your headunit down

please fill in your profile, where are you from?

It's ALWAYS the tinter's fault :poke 7 yr old Focus and your radio is scanning continuously ? Even an all metal film wouldn't wipe out all stations ..and even then, it's only to do with AM reception. Don't hate the film, hate Ford :rollin

Like the others said, sounds like fault by proxy, but in all actuality, unless you had other work done you aren't telling us about, it shouldn't be the film. Did you tint the windshield, put a visor strip? If so, water may have made it's way in to the radio. It's also possible that the tinter didn't like you Celine Dion CD and changed the radio while he was working on the car and it just so happened he's the one who stepped on the land mine.

Yeah, the squeegee dropped out of his hand, bounced in behind the dash and the tinter accidentally pulled on the antenna that plugs into the rear of the radio in behind the deck :lol

I agree , it DOES sound like the antenna no longer being plugged in..but not from the tinter unless like mentioned ..other work was being done.

      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.

      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?
