[Guest tintgod]

I have never seen this before..take a look at it..how did it fade this way..

Hard to see if there is a micro-edge... it appears to be two layers... one micro-edged and the second macro-edged...

'Heat' absorption in the weatherstrip and in contact with the film when the window is up... Dyes will disappear (move) if the film gets hot enough...

I've seen the color lighten (move) in competitive films when testing 'em for heat shrinkability using different levels of heat....

Looks backwards to me. Does the window really roll up that far into the gasket? No wind noise with that car, wow.

they are a pain in that a$$..but it went like clock work today..had to do an R/R on it...I used ..I think it was eclipses tip....using the sucktion cup to pull out on the window to get the film back in the side seals...it worked like a charm..thanks eclipse..

I had just never seen it like that...usually it is the other way around...darker along the top..and lighter everywhere else...

and is was all one piece mtint..

[Guest SQUEEGEE]

Actually this is very common especially on lighter color metallized films. Because the top edge rests along the gaskets which are black rubber you have increased solar absorbtion when the windows remained rolled up. Gets hotter, cooks faster and fades quicker.

Wow God,

I thought I've seen it all but that looks like film going to god (sorry for the pun) in reverse. That's bloody weird man.

Like metint said, looks to me like it has 2 layers of film on it.
