Mdog Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 I had a 03 ford f150 in the shop today, tinted hundreds of them in the last few years. well I go to put a visor on the front windshield, I scrape the top of the glass and as I go over the matrix it just glides right over the matrix was laminated in between the glass I have a picture I will post later. it was just smooth glass where the matrix was. I never heard anybody talk about it here before, so I thought it might be something new, it was the first time I had seen that.
wndotint Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 I've seen ONE in my shop ever. About 2 months ago, went to do a WS and just about crapped!
TintDude Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 Ya, ive seen that before, I've also seen it on a laminated mercedes back glass, I wish they were all like that.
Mdog Posted September 19, 2003 Author Report Posted September 19, 2003 wonder what the deal is? not all of them are like this on a f150. see how shiney it is on the matrix area?
Image Tint Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 I've also seen this on some newer Camry's
Guest Sprinter Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 I forgot what kind of vehicle it was but have seen them, there cool!
Guest Zrok Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 the reason they are starting to do that is due to the priming of the glass to adhere to the urethane....lots of crap can get 'embedded' in the frit if it's on the inside....if it's laminated, it can still have the advantages of the 'appearance' but when you prime the glass, you're priming the glass, and nost some strip of frit....it makes for a more well bonded adhesion of the urethane to the glass with less of a chance of adhesive failure
Mdog Posted September 20, 2003 Author Report Posted September 20, 2003 only took them how many years to figure this out? now some genius needs to figure a way for back glasses this way
Guest Zrok Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 they can't unless the back glass is laminated....(as far as I know)
wndotint Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Fine. Get rid of them completely.
