Is this Xpel tint? Why they told me this, I held off on getting the tint for now, but they also said the two rear door windows also felt laminated when you knock on them. They are labeled Toughened, the same as the other door windows though. They also said that the glass of the rear defroster windows can be damaged by the tint when removing it if it bubbles. They even called Xpel corporate about it. I am still suspicious of what they were telling me.
This is true of any tint on any window with defroster lines
I believe it is Llumar CTX ceramic film.
It appears that your vehicle is now illegal in CA.
I got the $50 remove/reapply after I get a ticket insurance
Yup
I'm sure the police are too busy with other issues to track you down. Unless, of course, they've solved all the actual crime in California.I got the $50 remove/reapply after I get a ticket insurance
That’s interesting. I had a light ceramic tint (IIRC Expel) on my Raptor windshield in 2017. Sold it Dec2022 and never had any issues. I didn’t even realize that was a thing with laminated glass
That's a great point I didn't even think of, we've had every windshield in the past 8-9 years tinted (Llumar Air Blue 80) without any problems (even with double sided stuff stuck to it like a dash cam or toll tag). Never once had an installer bat an eye at itPeople get their windshields done often and they’re all laminated
The Gren windshield is Toughened, not Laminated, just like the other windows on all the doors. The only Laminated ones are the cargo area side windows. The etchings in the corners of the windows for the Manufacturer Pilkington, that is their brand names for those two different types of glass.That’s interesting.
