in iowa it doesn't matter whether custy signs a waiver or not, law reads " installed", not "signed a waiver and installed", I went to court house for clarification on the matter. Only way a waiver works here is if the car is dropped off with a trailer and you have proof, eg. a picture...

A waiver is nothing more that written confession that you knowingly, willfully and for money did something illegal.

That's like saying I sell crack, but it's OK because my buyers sign a waiver. :facepalm2

Agreed. Though in MA and as far as I know now in FL there isn't a law that states installation of illegal shade is illegal. That's where the waiver is handy. Prevents customer from being able to say "well I didnt know it wasn't legal and this shop installed it".... Im looking into it now though as this thread has got me curious about the specifics of Floridas law... I've felt its been beneficial over the last 10 years as I haven't had any issues and have done a significant amount of cars with illegal shades... Maybe I've just been lucky.

People that install illegal tint give all of us a bad rep....Like we are providing the dark tint for drug dealers and so on...Window Film is frowned upon by so many people because when they hear window tint they automatically think dark/illegal...

I for one am glad that ceramic films have come out and you can get more TSER% than darker films. It fits 30 to 40% of my custys that want a light film with really high heat rejection...

One thing you have to remember. There are blood sucking lawyers out there trying to suck out every drop of blood from their victim. That victim could eaily be you.

There are countless cases where someone died or was horrifically injured and it was blamed on illegal installations.

Having a vehicle with dark than allowed films:

Will not pass inspections where it is required.

Will get pulled over and harrassed because the windows are too dark

Insurance comanies can and will cancel policies.

Insurance companies can and will refuse to pay a claim if the vehicle has film darker than allowed installed

Insurance companies can and will pay the claim and then chase after the installer and owners of the installation company. Many have been totally financially crushed because of this.

There are areas where the driver is driving illegally will be held responsible even if they were not the cause of the accident.

There has been many cases in different states where someone pulled out in front of someone and that person died. I remember one story where they backed over a child. Each time the windows were darker than allowed. It did not matter if the driver was in the right, that person was still held liable. The blood suckers chased after the driver, family of the driver, installer, employer of the installer, distributor, and even the manufacturer. Trust me on this, it is not worth it. And I never even mentioned the politicians trying to remove the ability to have film applied.

So yes there are options

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
