I do listen to a lot of country but when it comes time to get chit done gotta go to it.

And then you get a jeep that metered 76% no film installed film 43% out of the box and window metered 42%.

Bump.

So after checking multiple windows over the past few days I'm still trying to understand this thing. However I'm pretty sure I never will fully. After tinting, stripping, and retinting I've got some interesting numbers.

First I checked the meter to insure it's accuracy. It was within one percent on both sample pieces. The particular film that I am using global high performance. The vehicle is a 2013 kia soul. So here's the numbers

Window with no film 80%

45% film out of box; 48 to 49

40% film out of box; 42 to 43

Window with 45% film; 45%

Window with 40% film; 38%

Now my state law is 35% net with a 2 to 3% variance according to local inspection stations. Going by these numbers I could buy a 35% film and apply to some vehicles. I mainly would just need to meter each window to insure that it is within legal limits.

Going off of the formula it just doesn't add up. The formula is always lower than the actual meter. So can any of you guys that have metered for years chime in and tell me your experiences?

You send somebody a thank you because they referred one person to you and they say "remember that when I get mine done".

Not hard at all. Just go over it with the heat gun. I then put it in one of the relief cracks in the concrete and bent it.

There's a couple videos on YouTube.

What a piece of junk

Isn't that always the case?

No I don't thanks. I don't know how to turn it. Just post.

06 650i in 5% global hp for the boys in blue so yes it's legal.

That one made a little easier. Just hit it with the heat gun to add some more curve to it.

Alright now I need smartie2shoes to explain to me how to use it.

5 minutes and one cut middle finger later. Not exactly the same but pretty close.

Looking at it here and on the other post it appears to just be one of the gasket wizards with holes drilled in it for the bolts on Unger handle. Probably could be an easy diy if you had the stuff.

I did this one last week, nice clean job site and plus they were building a block wall in front of the windows as I was installing the film...........

Better tint fast Mike. Like something out of a video game.
