    When you live where it's forty plus degrees in the shade the darkest tint allowed is a necessity! We have all of our vehicles tinted with the darkest legal tint allowed. It makes a huge difference to the interior of the vehicle, especially when it's left parked.
    Not sure what the RACV are on about, but the difference between our Fiat cab tractor with and without a dark tint was incredible. It was like sitting in a solarium without the extra tint!
    If tinting does not make "difference" then why are most buildings, especially sky scrapers windows tinted.
    We wouldn't be without it!

    As long as those third row passengers aren't driving. It's fine.

    Question D4 HSE tint

    I have a D4 HSE and am looking to get windows tinted within the next few months before summer in Melbourne starts... and after reading all these posts...i'm still unsure if tint on the very rear side windows will affect the radio reception given the on glass aerial??

    Am also undecided which vendor to have the tint done at.. Previous vehicle (Holden commodore) was done at Tint Professor in darkest legal tint 8 years ago .. but i know things have probably changed in that time ie requirements etc.

    Does it all come down to some vendors are better than others, or is it all dependent on how dark you want?

    I have had the darkest legal tint on the rear windows across a 3 cars with on-glass antennas, each time requesting a non-metallicised film for that window, and have had no problems with reception.

    I try to go to places with written lifetime warranty on both the film and the workmanship (and aren't looking likely to close down in the next couple of years).

    I also had Peter Snieg's contact tint my windows at MLR.

    Great job no radio issues.

    Good price.
    Cheers

    LCT is 33% of vehicle cost over the LCT threshold. If you can add anything like tint after delivery you'll save.
