All that being said I have read a lot of posts from installers claiming to have done windshields in light vlt film and they claim no problems .....   I don't think it's worth the risk myself ....

Well, I just did one of these this evening, wish I would have read this first, lol... I told the customer I did not think it was a good idea, they insisted so it got a 5% strip. They drove it home and no issues. Time will tell I guess, but that one will not be on my dime if it does mess up...

We turned down doing a C7 Corvette windshield just last week because the dash can curl up near the windshield if it gets wet.  Even with wrapping the dash, didn't want to take the risk.  Had it happen to another shop which was a $2000+ fix that was luckily covered by the dealership (they removed the tint).

I tried to find a closeup photo of the dash, but can't find one.  The dash has stitching going across right by the windshield...if that section gets wet, it will start to curl up.  You can wrap the dash thoroughly to keep it dry, but we have decided not to even take the risk.

We done several C7 windshield with Crystalline....never had a problem...knock on wood. Just make sure you have a garage keeper insurance if something does.  We do have a problem with a Porsche windshield....but now...We just put a shamee to soak up the solution on the bottom when we do any windshield. We cut the shamee into long pieces and place them on the bottom before cleaning and install......It work amazing. For all shamee to work, you got to soak it in water and rinse it out.  It do not work at all dry...it need to be somewhat moist.

      South facing windows DR film

      Install went great. I went with NV-25, I am very happy. The room has been darkened significantly, from bright and hot to much more pleasant and enjoyable. Watching TV during the day is no longer blinding, when it is cloudy it is definitely a bit gloomy, I am glad I did not go with NV-15. I plan on getting more windows done in the future to help cut down on heat energy. Thanks for everyone's input!

      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.
