I just want to give props to the installer on this Jeep. From what the OP said it turned out great the second time around. If your not an installer you will have no idea what it takes to do a good job on this car. For what it's worth I would not take this in at my shop. It's just a business decisions for us. We stay busy and produce more revenue doing newer cars in the same time frame as it would take to do this. That being said I really dig the jeep.

 

As for color I would bet you have green or blue glass in your jeep. Back then most all glass was one or the other.

 

 And to do it for the price that guy did is surprising. I'm not so busy I would turn it down but that wouldn't have been my price on it for sure.

Yea i got a good deal. Its a nice shop nice guys i hate to have made this thread questio ing the tint but i had too even you guys said it sounded suspicious. And yes the shop i went yoo to measure my tint % said he woulda charged 700 for my jeep.

 

But guys also have to remember i said he could slice my seals.. my interior seal he cut down at an angle which allowed him to clean and press the glass with his tools easier. And also keeping the tint from having gaps. If the seals were cut itd be hard to cut the tint to fit the glass perfectly i imagine

 

Ill take up close pics of the inside tomorrow. And the rear glass is almost dry now at least for the water bubbles..  the air gaps on the elements still are gone. It looks amazing

This is the only proper way to tint this vehicle nicely, I wouldn't even ask my customer for permission to do this. I would just do it.

Well cutting seals without permission.. some gaskets arent made anymore and if you cause a leak in thr vehicle i can see you being taken to court lol.

 

First day i met the guy though i told him go ahead cut em.. Im not THAT oblivious to how this is done lol and im pretty laid back except when it comes to being scammed lol

I don't think you understand how window tinting is actually done, most seals on many vehicles you only have to trim max 1/8th of an inch off the rubber on the inside, not the outside. We don't trim nearly enough to even make a difference. This barely effects the vehicle, since most rubber is half inch or up to a full inch thick. The only reason why they leak is old age and cracks ect.

 

I never commented on this forum to make a fuss about it. I simply just went on here to say you probably got the tint you asked for and the shop that did it did everything right. you never got scammed. 

 

The trimming on the vehicle is standard unless you want gaps of light on your glass. We don't have to ask permission to properly tint the customer vehicle.

      LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar.

      Hook up with Glassy Business and get all the ins and outs of pro vs DIY with window film. That company goes back way before my retirement in 2015. I want to believe they are/were a Vista Film dealer and I cannot remember the owner's name. Peace out.

      Once more thank you, you are the best I been looking at the specs for the products you mention and info into tinting a window. I recently did wrap my wife's car and it turn out really nice, for what I have been seeing tinting a window is similar and I am tempted to do it myself. With that said I can't find any place to buy the products you mention, I found quite a few films in Amazon but they seem sketchy. There is other web sites selling films but the ones you mention I can’t locate, anyhow is there any place where I can buy this products?

      Hi All, How reliable are manufacturer provided Technical Specifications for Window Tint?

      South facing window tint

      Forgot to mention; if your house is under HOA, you may have to check in with them. Some, eh hem, many seemingly shy away from having a reflective look to the glass. A dual reflective with a visible light transmission of 35% (ex: NV35) would likely be more palatable to HOA, but not so happy for the owner. Your position to take with them is: The higher the reflectivity of a film product, the better when dealing with desert heat. There exists a necessary (physics) compromise in every window film transaction. Can't please all parties. Glad I could help educate.

      Thank you very much Tinguy1980, I was just about to mess it up. I appreciate your insight! I would have never guessed that the products I was thinking about "run counterintuitive to the use of the product" for the excessive heat. Frankly it does get so hot in that room that at this point I am less about how it looks and more about performance, during summer the AC never stops running in that room, electricity prices here in Las Vegas is up there hence I am trying to invest in ways to cool that room down. Once more thank you for your help I do appreciate it.

      Personally knowing what it's like in Vegas when it's hot, I would stir clear of any film TSER performance value less than 60% or a solar heat gain value greater than 40%. Prestige does not fit this and would be a big waste of good money. Huper Optiks' ceramic products have high solar energy absorption rates, so in hot environments these kind high absorptive films run counterintuitive to the use of the product while using air conditioning to cooling the interior. High absorption on the inside pane, where most films are applied will radiate that absorbed heat toward the room. Outside breezes across the exterior surface of the window will not be as effective in cooling down the interior than say a low absorptive film, high solar reflection film product. In this case, low absorptive/high solar reflection products should be a go-to such as: 3M's Night Vision15 or NV25, Vista Film's Dual Reflective18 or DR 28, LLumar's DR15 or DR25 (which closely matches 3M NV), or Madico's Optivision in and around the same number assignment. The numbers assigned to films represent the visible light transmission of the product. When a dealer comes out to assess and likely have and leave samples, use the samples as sunglasses by wrapping over your eyes a viewing out and in the room. This gives you a more precise idea of what the film will look like once applied. A small sample placed on the glass will always appear darker than having the entire panel tinted. Good luck.
