Tint installers, please help! Is this damage from the installer?
Hello professional tint installers and everyone else, I need your upmost help in solving this problem. I just got my brand new car tinted and after a few days I noticed this on my driver side door panel. Is this damage caused by the tint installer? Heat damage? I had ceramic tint installed. I should’ve done a better job looking at every little detail on my car after the work but I was preoccupied. What could this be? Please help! The cars only 2 weeks old. -

You may want to consider hiring a professional for a few reasons. 1. Difficulty of Installation Professional window tinting is a skilled task that requires precision and experience: Large windows are particularly challenging to tint without bubbles or wrinkles and contamination. Professionals have specialized tools and techniques to ensure smooth application. DIY attempts often result in noticeable imperfections: Bubbles, creases, and dust particles trapped under the film Uneven edges or gaps around the window frame Inconsistent tint darkness across multiple windows etc 2. Risk of Thermal Fracture Incorrect film selection or application can lead to serious problems: Different glass types require specific tint films to avoid thermal stress Professionals can assess your windows and recommend appropriate films They understand the relationship between glass thickness, size, and tint darkness 3. Warranty Considerations Professional installation often comes with guarantees: Many manufacturers void warranties for DIY installations Professional installers typically offer their own workmanship warranty 4. Time and Cost Efficiency While DIY might seem cheaper initially: Professionals work faster and more efficiently Mistakes in DIY installation can be costly to fix The value of a professional's time and expertise often outweighs potential DIY savings 5. Proper Tools and Materials Professionals have access to: High-grade films not available to the general public Specialized tools for precise cutting and application Cleaning solutions that ensure proper adhesion It may sound like a good idea to save a few bucks and "do it yourself", but you are not going to be happy with the results, you risk breaking the glass from thermal fracture if the wrong film is used and or if there is partial shading on the window and it'd going to look like hell.- 1

I just realized this forum might be only for the professional tinter. I'm a DIY'er and was hoping to get some expert advice on selecting the best "home product" to apply to my windows on my home in order to reduce/control the heat coming through the windows. If this is not allowed, maybe someone can point me in the right direction for DIY. Thank you! -

Gull wing system install
Both can be challenging; Gullwing already has the adhesive with a liner that needs to be removed and pressure applied to seat the adhesive with as few air pockets as possible. Any hiccups means a do over with each strip. Think about how it would look from the outside, not to mention the task of keeping it evenly aligned as you move along each strip. Practice makes progress, not perfection. I've got a few feet of white left over from my days in the industry and I can assure anyone will be challenged to install the stuff. What I have is predecessor of Gullwing and I cannot remember what they called it back then. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dow995 structural sealant is akin to working with peanut butter; it can be messy, but once dry it has a much cleaner look to a Gullwing with air pockets trapped. Sealant can easily drip or contact unwanted surfaces, making clean up fun. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Either way, if there's any need for removal after a lengthy period of time, it could be work intensive to not do damage to the frame. Also, for both, you are best of waiting no less than one week film dry time (sun exposure and or warm and dry weather conditions) before applying any anchoring system, lest you find yourself with film lift in areas where the anchoring system was under stress to pull away. Here's a link for anyone who wants more info on Gullwing installation. https://windowfilm-staging.azurewebsites.net/commercial/bomb-blast-protection/mdico-gullwing-anchoring-system- 3

Gull wing system install
How does the Gull wing system compare to the taping off and using the sausage packs for safety film. ?
