I've been tinting a long time but have recently grown tired of my personal vehicle's windshields getting pitted and don't want to have the OE windows cut out at ~120k miles for a new one. Anyone have some material they are interested in moving as I don't want to buy a whole bunch just to have the balance sit on a shelf. I will want at least enough to do a couple vehicles. I'll have to get you dimensions. I was just wondering if there was someone interested. Thanks

It looks like it will just tuck back up into run channel. Pull a little more out for better tuck into the corner. If it pops out again, you could add a small drop of urethane on the inside channel to hold it in place....or buy a new seal. In either case, correct the way it sits and tell customer "the rubber will have some memory, let it set a week or so to mold back to proper profile". Some times this helps.

Yeah, look out for dirty, nasty black goop sealant that sticks out past rear glass moldings. That old glass has no black "cheat" border to hide the edges. If it's not a fresh "windows out" restore job, there will be tons of trash on the margins.

Not to mention, if the film ever fails and you pull rear defroster lines because they become fragile.... but that never happens.

I don't care WHAT the composition of the film is, like someone else said, it's all about TSER, PERIOD. Whether it reflects or absorbs the heat, it's about the rejection OF heat. What I will never understand is why people think HO is "great" for IGUs on flat glass. An absorbing film, like ceramic, can't convection cool because it's on an IGU so the heat will be radiated into the room. Ceramic IS non-reflective BUT you still have 4 glass surfaces that relect the light anyway so what if the film adds 2-4% reflectivity? No layman can tell a difference once installed. Heck, layman don't realize that lowE windows make the glass tinted and more reflective too... Especially on flat glass, save your money and use hybrid/reflective, bonus, safer for the glass too. Ceramic is a gimmick, IMO. However, a profitable one.

Well, it's going on a white 4Runner so peel won't be super noticeable outside. Thanks for input. Anyone else?
