Title: Window Tints.
Post by: samcockerill on 04 August 2009, 22:35

DOES ANYONE KNOW, WHEN YOU USE THE TINTING FILM ON THE REAR WINDSCREEN, DOES THE REAR DEMISTER AFFECT IT WHEN ON ATALL ? OR IS THE SPRAY BETTER. THANKS.

hi, i've tinted the rear windscreens on a few cars now and have never had any problems caused by the rear demister.  although i bought some spray tint before, and when using it on an area that size i found it very hard to get it on evenly, so i ended up cleaning it off and using a roll tint instead.
personally i found the only useful applications for the spray tint are small rear quarters or lights, and i use roll tint on anything bigger

Welcome to the site.

I would leave it to the specialists, doing it yourself will never look good as you always end up with air bubbles.

I can always remember during my childhood when I was getting into identifying cars during the early-mid 90's, a lot of "jazzed" up motors as I used to call them (blame my Dad for the phrase :tongue: ) had these tinted film windows, with loads of air bubbles around the frame.  :grin:
