Crystal Vision - Edition 30 privacy film
« on: January 30, 2012, 10:08:16 am »
Morning everyone,

I had a forum favourite's car in over the weekend for a 15% privacy film to be added to the rear 3 windows.

I've added a few pictures below to give a good idea of what window film can look like if done properly  :happy2:

I'll let the pics do the talking,

Nick  :drinking:

Nick, have you got any close up photos of the rear window?

I want mine tinted, but I've always been put off by the border that you often see, and the finish over the heated screen lines.

How much do you charge for a 5 door Golf?

Hi Andrew

Due to the nature of the dot matrix round the window there is usually a border as you say. It's due to the dots raising the tint film off the glass.

After a few days of drying, the border can be mostly pressed out, removing the border.

I'm just @ work at the moment, so I'll upload the pictures of my rear glass when I'm home and pm you with a price.

Nick :happy2:

Is the 15% similar to the OEM privacy glass for the rear?

Looks good Nick - presumably the film doesn't effect the heating elements in any way?

That's right Andrew. I've been using mine every morning over the winter  :happy2:

It is mate yes. I stock lots of other tint shades too incase you'd prefer lighter or darker. (But this is my favourite  :innocent:)

Sorry?

you mentioned "when its done properly" so wondered if there is a company to avoid.

I've seen loads of examples of poor window tinting, hence my questions above. Could be down to poor workmanship, poor materials etc.

Yeah Andrew hit the nail on the head.  :happy2:

It wasn't particually a pop at anyone in particular  :innocent:  Materials make a tremendous difference to the finish.
