  1. I have suntek 80 on my windshield and use the pop up shade. I've used it for 4 years and don't notice scratches from it. I've tinted several sunroofs with regular hp auto film 20% and 5%. Never heard of any having thermal stress problems....
  2. Semi mobile so got to work with what I have on the road, my shop I've got a great glass wall.
  3. You would be amazed how often we will here "that wasn't there" and it really means that the customer never noticed it. Not saying you don't have a distorted tint or that you do have a distorted windshield, I'm just saying you might not have noticed it before. Also the tint is a 1.5 to 2 mil thick film and it could exaggerate what is there...
  4. The car is my peel board. I use a liner to cover the panel unless the vehicle is really clean.... California reverse roll the back window.
  5. Could very well be the windshield itself is distorted. Could be the film accentuates the glass. I've seen windshields that I couldn't believe how bad the wavy look was. I see a little on most of them if I look. Go back and talk to them. If they do remove and refund then you look closely and actually find the glass is bad please compensate the shop....
  6. I would just run away from this guy as he knows more than we do..... Auto film on the outside vs inside of single pane glass is not going to change much. Maybe a couple percent tser but not enough to make and real difference. Reflective film might get a few more percent yet but still not enough to really notice except with some high end meter.
  7. I scratched llumar film way to easy. Found it horrible compared to global. This was probably 5 years ago at the Performance Challenge tint off.
  8. Could be the windshield itself and you just notice it now.... talk to the shop that tinted it......
  9. The back glass was easy. Just a little shrink and lay it. Heat the bottom corners on the outside and film would stick..... a helper was very handy... Old thread and older car that no one is likely to even see today.
  10. I use DR 05 all the time.... I'm not certain the tsea though.
  11. I would be leary of the 2nd llumar guy that was so much cheaper. I also wouldn't trust the 1st one that left you with so many choices and no real clue. I used aswf for a bit and it has held up well enough on flat glass. Don't think I've used it in many years though. My distributor changed who he gets film from.
  12. It is not going to stand up as well as an external film. There are external films too. You do know the DR effect world be backwards also right? You could put an anti-graffiti film over an external application to protect it.
  13. I've got a couple large windows that have long lines like these that almost look like the glass cracked but hasn't. It happened years after the job was done. I think it is delaminating like was said. Can't hardly see from the outside.
  14. Not everything they have is. They are a global distributor too.
  15. You are probably using Global film if your getting from express. You won't find a more solid film than Global. I've got Global HP that has over 13 years in it that looks like the day it was installed....
  16. Where in southern Indiana? I'm an hour from Evansville in Illinois. The pricing for Evansville and even up to terre Haute is cheaper than I am.
  17. Looks like there is still film on there. If there is then the best trick is to actually tint that window With whatever film and then Bag it! You will be amazed what that will do you.
  18. You won't or shouldn't be able to. That would get the Llumar dealer in deep crap. That's a very expensive film also...
