Just a little update on my 2012 Diesel. As you can see from the photographs, I "finally" got my windows tinted.
In two of them you will be looking out the windshield. I wanted a black strip just across the top of the window. However the guy who did the work started the strip from the roof down to what was suppose to be level with the mirror. Well he got that part done but then he made them wider as he worked across the windshield. Kind of looks like a span on a bridge.
At first I didn't like it but now there is no more putting down the sun visors while driving directly into the sun. Additionally on the rest of the windshield, which is extremely hard to see, he covered it with a film that reduces the UV rays by 79%. Can't see it outside the truck but when you get in, you can tell there is a very minute color change. I no longer have to wear sun glasses.
I had him order a kit for the truck and the Mercedes where he uses a very thin film that you can't tell is even on the vehicles. No, it's not a 3M product. Protects against rock chips. Will also put that on the rocker panels, mirrors and the entire front of both vehicles. He gave me a small sheet of it and a large piece of glass. I brought it home, thoroughly cleaned the glass and then applied this new product. Before I was going to let him order these kits, I wanted to see, once applied, if I could either do a hand detail or use a PC or the Flex on it to see how well it would shine. Couldn't tell the difference between it and having it on the paint.
