A couple tint questions

SlowSix · July 24th, 2010, 10:01 AM

Ok, so I have a new edge, and I recently tinted my car.

Two things. One, you can't get tint to stick at the top of the rear windshield and I've heard you can put vinyl up there. Has anyone done this ? I couldn't personally get it to stick without creasing the hell out of it. Tips?

Two, anyone have a sun visor/eyebrow/w/e you wanna call it?
I kind of want one but I'm not sure how I'd go about doing it...I would have to take the rearview mirror off right?

It is very difficult to get the tint to adhere in between the bubbles. Some people get a stripe of vinyl and cover the window from the outside. If that is not your cup of tea, you can go and get some paint and paint over the bubbled area from the inside to give it a fresh outer appearance. I had the vinyl but it ripped. Next week I am painting the area.

I got vinyl on mine, but if I had to do it again I think I would just hit it with paint.

so wait a minute...you guys put the vinyl on the OUTSIDE?
doesn't that look kind of silly on the outside of the glass?

and no one has any sun visor tips?

After having driven around with a poorly done one for a couple days, I really like having it, but I don't want to have to take my whole mirror off to put a precut one on.

the guy who did my tint got my back to lay over the beads pretty descent.... but im picky and it wasnt perfect so i just ordered a rear deflector thing like u do for the side windows, rain guards watever u want to call them.... and for the strip couldnt help u much never seen one layed down without takin the mirror off unless ur goin just to the top of the mirror but my whole windshield is done so mine came off and we put it back on....

I figured it would. I was trying to get the vinyl on the inside.

and how do I get the mirror off without breaking the glass to do a sun strip?

Yeah outside would look bad. I'm kind of worried that I'm gonna crack my windshield taking the mirror off though : /
