All New Vette owners are sensitive , I inspect my film for QC/debris straight out the box. and florescent inspect the inner and outer glass surface before film application,since the OEM glass in the 2015 Model looked like it was Tempered in a dirty oven.

Fingers are not that bad on the front sides to have to shrink the top part of the film assuming that one knows how to shrink the film properly. And yes, the back window is very flat compared to the previous models.

Did one the other day. Was a convertible so the rear window was small and simple. Taped up the edges on the convertible just in case I heat or cut near the soft top. Sides I just shrink on the bottom and install. Pretty straight forward job.

What are you guys doing special to the back windows where the little vette flags are in the fritt at the top of the glass. I warned my customer about the transition line that some people get when tinting. Ive tried some heat and working at them a bit but Im stuck with the transition. Id like to make it a bit better but not sure how  :dunno

Looks cool to me as long as its uniform, air highlights flags, but I like vettes in general. Just on here to say get a good look at sill plates, before you take car in. Clear plastic covers at dealer dig in when door gets closed, do not accept blame and/or pay for this. WARNING.

How do you reset locks on 2016 stingray. had the latches flipped down to tint the windows, Flipped them back up and went to shut the doors and the latches didn't want to release to open the door. Happened on the rear hatch too didn't even mess with those.

      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.

      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?

      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!
