People seem to be missing the point of this thread completely.

IM NOT ASKING FOR HELP WITH MY ISSUE.

Im asking who has tinted windshields and if youve had any problems of your own. Period. End of story.

Thank you to those who have participated in this thread properly.

Only problem was getting pulled over for it, don't do it anymore not worth it.

 

[Erat]

I have a tinted windshield. I think it's 35% and the other windows are 20%.

Can't see **** at night. Daytime is fine.

I had super dark tint before so it's not annoying anymore.
Haven't been pulled over yet. I know it's coming.

Edit* Everything works fine, no leaks, i do drive at night all the time and it's fine. Seeing hazards on the road is really the only issue. I won't be driving this car in the winter either.
Edit2* I do look like a drug dealer, which is perfect since i live in Detroit and fit right in. You can't see anything inside the car from the outside even in broad daylight.

How can we add productive comments if the OP will not tell us what his issue is ???

It’s surprisingly straight-forward: you focus on the actual question that he posed and not one that you are *assuming* he wants answered. Following that, if you have nothing productive to add, well then you don’t, and that’s a-ok!

So the two posts before yours addressed OP's request. Then comes your post, which adds nothing productive and is actually repetitious.

I know a “guy” who has his windshield tinted 50% and his windows are 40%. “He” says that day time is great no issues with any sensors or HUD. Night time can get a little dark. “he” also says that he should’ve gone darker in the side windows, 40% isn’t dark enough.

CB, Ppants... geez settle down. It’s a forum. Let the guy ask a question. If you haven’t noticed traffic on the forum has died down considerably recently. Frankly, some folks may be afraid to post because of the fear of being chastised like this. If you don’t like the topic then click/swipe out. No need to show your brilliance by denegrating someone.

Exactly, and traffic will continue to die down as long as that know it all is here.

I had mine tinted with 3M Crystaline 50% very shortly after buying the car, it's been 2 years and I've had no issues. I don't have any issues at night from the windshield. All the other windows are 15% and I wish I had done 25% because I do have to roll the passenger window down to see to back into the garage at night but no issues driving at night. I've had the windshield tinted in multiple vehicles and didn't have any issues, fixing to get another done.

 

[Bo799]

My windshield is tinted and I have an issue after having it done. I’m not telling what the issue is either.

 

[MichaelSS15]

Car is still at the dealer. Wiring harness for the headunit is the new focus of concern apparently. Perhaps this gives insight into what my worry has been.

Still unclear as to what is the whole problem is.

 

[boost_lee]

I have 3M Crystalline (70 or 80%, I can't recall) and I have no issues with the HUD. Towels were used during the install to limit the water on the dash. No visibility issues with the film, though there are a few situations where there is a slight halo effect. Its not distracting, nor does it bother me (or maybe its just me getting old...). Oh, and I still use a sunshade if parked out in the sun.

 

[JewaliciouSS]

I had my windshield tinted 20% only the top 7-8 " seamed in 2 pieces near the eyesight contraption and it looks pretty good. It look really good on the outside. on the inside I find its a bit "abrupt" on my line of sight and has more "bow" to it. I do not know how much water Guillermo used to set the film, I dont know what brand or type..... rest of car got 35%. there was some window cleaning detail to do on the inside after 4-5 days but I did not find any after effects front the application of the film. IE, no water spots, no rips, tears, cuts, scratches, dents. the car worked the same afterwards, only it looks about 100000000xs better and its a bit cooler inside during sunny summer days. I think the climate control has an easier time to actually maintain a reasonable temp. Vision at night is OK. I'm still occasionally bothered by Hemorrhoids.... hope that's NOT your problem .

( BTW - I would recommend Romeos Tint in Clarendon Hills Il. )

 

[WankelFan]

I have 70% tint on the windshield, 30% on the sides and 15% on the rear. No issues at all.

So do those with tinted windshields have headlights that stay on all the time? In my state the inspection sticker has always been placed in the lower center of the windshield. If it's more than a little cloudy, my headlights can't decide if they should be on or off. I know I likely need to clean the goo out of my sensor, but I haven't found the time to give that a try. I'm sure if I ran tint on the windshield they lights would stay on most of the time.

 

[xeks]

I have 70% 3M Crystalline on the windshield, 35% 3M Colorstable on the front passenger/driver, and 20% Colorstable on the rear half. Can't really tell there's tint on the windshield and the HUD has 0 issues but is a more clear because the tint takes away some of the glare. The tint doesn't look too dark from the inside but looking in from the outside, it's nice and dark.

I was going to get 20% all around except for the windshield but the shop I took it took told me that it would be a little too dark and could possibly get bugged by the police for my tint but if I went a shade lighter, the difference between the front and rears would be enough to "pass" a quick glance. Made sense to me at the time and looks dang good, I like that the fronts are a little bit lighter. No regrets.

No, they still work like normal. I have 50% on mine.

 

[badbird]

I've got 40 on the windshield and 5 everywhere else. Everything works like normal.

 

[TangoHotel]

I bought my car used and it had tint on the front when I bought it. It is a very light tint, you really can't tell it is tinted unless I have my sunscreen up. Hud is fine, Auto lights are fine. I can see perfectly day and night. My radar detector suction cups don't like it, I have to re-stick them once a week. (Daily Driver).

 

[Stingray]

I did Clear UV coating, no tint what so ever, and am thinking about removing it, It's a UV protectant only. to the naked eye there is no visible tint, but the sensor on the dash that controls the headlights and ALL the dash and infotanment systems must be able to see it. because unless I'm in FULL sunshine the headlights come on and the interior goes into night mode. it's rather annoying.
