2018 porsche 911 gt3

Had a guy come in with a 2018 Porsche 911 gt3 . It has a light weight glass that is flexible and when you knock it ti feels like poly carbonate . But he says its classified as glass and Porsche says it can be tinted . Any one come across it and can it be tinted . What concerns me is if it needs to be removed will it come off will it damage the glass . 

 

 

The rear screen and rear side windows are made of lightweight glass. This material is as light as polycarbonate and, unlike polycarbonate, offers particularly good scratch and fracture resistance as well as being significantly less prone to buckling at high speeds.

One of those I would probably pass on just in case.

All the ones we have done have a tempered stamp on the glass.... we tint as normal.  Look for the glass marking... it will tell you what material it is.

Gt2Rs is the same, we use blister free and then tint

If it’s the plexi it will have no defroster

yes no defroster . I passed on it . Customer says to me i will take it to some one who tints high end cars .

Yeah, it is always best to let a potential headache go...not worth the amount you're charging.

So, here is the stamp. This one is gt2rs. I assume it’s the same. I don’t know what all the different #’s mean, some are the impact rating for accidents. Normally if it is tempered, it will say so.

It is the same, and I wouldn’t risk it. Lighter than poly and scratch resistant tells me that shrinking and heating may be a 1500.00 mistake. 

Thanks for the info. I never say no, but there is that one time. We have no idea what it’s made of....and I really don’t want to know...

cheers
