Cracked glass
The above post is a bit controversial and naive in nature. May I suggest improving technical knowledge by using a film-to-glass chart, IWFA's study on window film use on dual pane glazing systems, and glass itself. Air/gas used in dual and triple pane glazing systems has zero impact on what gets installed. Absorption rate of film and glass edge quality impact the aforementioned glazing systems most. The film used in the OP has absolutely no reason to be installed to the exterior surface. Neither do the vast majority of film products that carry an absorption rate less than 50%. Start searching for good quality information to better serve you and your clients. And finally, installing on the exterior maybe has a life expectancy of 5-7 years before seeing degradation. Properly installing a product deigned for the interior (on the inside) increases life expectancy up 20-25 years, depending on the quality of the film. -

Question about VLT variance
I just did a minor search on google and found this about the tinting laws of Illinois State. Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 6 inches of the windshield. Front Side windows: Must allow more than 35% of light in. Back Side windows: Must allow more than 35% of light in. Rear Window: Must allow more than 35% of light in. Please keep in mind that it is only for Sedans, if you have SUV then the law is different. -

Electronic Malfunction From Tint?
This can be an issue with all makes and models, in fact the more electronics that newer vehicles contain, the more likely something will eventually go wrong. I personally worry most about tinting front windshields as we can't always see where our soapy water will end up behind the dash. -

chameleon window tint good quality
UltraVision is the only decent quality with a lifetime warranty. However, $$$$ for a basic film that does not block heat on most of the options. If their dealer pricing was better, we would carry them.- 2

Cracked glass
Did you install on the inside or outside? We always install the film on the outside (specially if it's double glass with air or gass between) If you install on inside it will be to much heat and crack is possible. good luck
