Thread: Window tinting

MLR have organised tinting for me in the past on a Defender. The price was very good.
I now have a D4, been thinking about tinting the windows, but with the ariel on the rear side window does the tinting affect radio reception ?.
Cheers

Rob from Hunters Hill window tinting.

Have a look at this thread on this VW Forum.

best window tint business? - Page 37

Rob doesn't mind if you want to wait and chat with him while he is doing it. After seeing him work, I wouldn't take mine anywhere else.

Happy days.

Read the first paragraph on this page:
Color Stable Automotive Films - Tinted automotive window film for cars, trucks - Color Stable - 3M US

I had no problems with reception on my previous D3 or my current D4.

There are stories of signal issues when using metallic films.

And they're bollocks IMO!

I have a very nice black metal based film (maximum heat rejection and block out was my request) and the D4 radio works excellent - even out here in the sticks!!!!

Here is the tint...

It seems Rob's business has grown since he did my Skoda Yeti.

Looks like he does a few Bentley and Lambos.

I think he used Solace? I remember it was colour matched with different darkness. From memory, I got 35% on the from windows, 16% on the rear door windows and back window and 10% on the wagon side windows. No one has picked that they are different yet but if I open the doors and point it out then you can see it's different.

Happy Days

Another for rob. He came to me and very happy with price and results. He has a range of tints for you to view along with him.

TintMart Black Pearl 35.
Radio reception unaffected.
