I primarily tint Mercedes Benz vehicles. Well some of the models like the C300 series etcare very tight to tuck, I usually always get a crease at the bottom. Well I couldn't take it anymore. So I popped the top part of the door panels on all 4 doors, took out the gasket and walla what a relief it's so much better imo and I don't have to shrink either.. So far I figured I could do this on these models Pull seals on:

c class front and back

e class front and back

Gla front

S class front

Glk front

.. Is there any other Mercedes that u know of that this will work on?

      At What VLT% does visibility start being impacted

      It is all subjective. You can NOT get a real answer except for yourself.

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      It's probably worthwhile mentioning that I live in a gets very hot in summer and mostly year long, and never gets to a point where snow fall is a concern. Record High Temperature: 48.9 Celsius or 120 Fahrenheit Mean maximum °C (°F): 38.8 C or 101.8 F Mean daily maximum °C (°F): 31.2 Celsius or 88.2 Fahrenheit Mean daily minimum °C (°F): 3 Celsius or 37.4 Fahrenheit Mean minimum °C (°F): 1.6 C or 34.9 F Record low °C (°F): -6 Celsius or 21.2 Fahrenheit To the USA based forum users, think: Dallas-Fort Worth Texas region (in particular around Denton/Sherman) Houston Texas Harlingen, Texas Orlando, Florida Tampa, Florida Lawton, Oklahoma San Diego, California Los Angeles, California San Jose, California Fresno, California Sacramento, California Puebla de Zaragoza in Mexico For Europeans, think: Spain (Cordoba) Italy (Palermo) Portugal (Lisbon) Greece (Athens, Crete, etc)

      At What VLT% does visibility start being impacted

      Yes, I'm aware that any level of tint reduces driver's visibility (part of the reason regulators impose maximum tint % is due to safety concerns), but my question is more regards any noticeable difference between VLT% & therefore subsequent increase in accident risk as a consequence when it comes to comparisons of the aforementioned tint %s. Given the government where I live don't allow anything darker than 35% in the front side, but allow 20% in the rear side and rear window, my presumption is that there's a noticeable difference between 35% and 20% in low visibility conditions (which makes me wonder why the rear window is allowed to be 20% and not 35%). But where does visibility impact start occurring? Is there a particular variance between VLT that the driver notices a perceivable difference (obviously this would differ between ever driver due to inherent individual characteristics, hence I'm wondering whether a study has ever been conducted on this)? For example: Would 35% be noticeably worse than 45% for driver's visibility in front side windows? Would 20% be noticeably worse than 33% for Rear side windows?

      At What VLT% does visibility start being impacted

      The answer is YES.... Any tint will impact your vision. How much you can tolerate is really subjective and situational. Are and vision impact, where you are driving impacts, the type of car and window angles impact......

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      I forgot to ask about Low Angle Haze (LAH), do any particular films have less LAH than others? Is LAH so much of a problem that it's better to avoid ceramic tint and go another kind of tint like SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP

      At What VLT% does visibility start being impacted

      In the jurisdiction in which I live, we are allowed to have 35% in front and 20% in rear. I'm wondering @ what VLT% does the driver's visibility in adverse conditions like night time driving, storms, cloudy weather, fog, floods, etc., start being impacted? Front side windows: 45.00% 43.00% 42.00% 41.00% 40.00% 39.00% 38.00% 37.00% 36.00% 35.00% Rear Side Windows: 38.00% 33.00% 32.00% 31.00% 30.00% 29.00% 27.00% 25.00% 23.00% 22.00% 21.00% 20.00% Rear Window: 45.00% 43.00% 42.00% 41.00% 40.00% 39.00% 38.00% 37.00% 36.00% 35.00% 33.00% 32.00% 31.00% 30.00% 29.00% 27.00% 25.00% 23.00% 22.00% 21.00% 20.00%

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      If the only tinter providing MEP Films is a mobile tinter that uses more water than normal and I don't have a garage to tint in then would you avoid the tinter and opt for a tinter with a workshop that uses either: SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP SunTek Evolve Solargard VTX Pro Premium Ceramic (by the way, does anyone know where the Technical Spec sheet is, I tried finding to no avail) XPEL Prime XR Black Johnson Window Films InsulatIR IR GLOBAL WINDOW FILMS QDP CERAMIC FILMS Global OZ Window Films CBXtreme Ceramic
