I have two large dogs who sit at the window, they get nose prints on it, does anyone have a problem with their pets bothering the tint film?

I have a cat that does the same thing. All you have to do is use Windex and clean the nose prints off. Class cleaner won't alter the film

We had a large dog who would get nose prints on it. Just need to wipe down with a damp cloth, etc.

I just put it on my windows and no problems. You could feel the difference on the windows though. I stood next to two windows one with film and one without and you could feel all the heat coming through the window that had no film.

The view isn't distorted, but since its a tint it is a lot darker. I had to add landscaping lights (bright ones) outside in order to see what the dogs were up to when I have them out back after the sun went down. I also have to turn the lights off inside as well to check on them without going outside. Not a complaint, but trying to give you an idea.Its not really mirror like except when light hits it just right. It does act as a really good privacy tint though and actually looks pretty good if its applied with no bubbles. You can't see inside from outside from more than a few feet unless it is brighter inside than out. (Nighttime with lights on inside) The view isn't distorted, but since its a tint it is a lot darker.

I can't vouch for how well it will hold up against a big dog, but my cats have scratched at it and climbed on it and they haven't been able to even dent the screening. I would give it a try if I were you. I recommend that you go with narrow spline because this screening is thicker than standard screening, so you have to work a bit to get the spline into the frame. I installed mine 14 months ago and it looks as good as new.

I have a Highlander and my Chihuahuas can see out of the window when they sit/stand up in it. A larger dog could probably lay down and still see out of it, but the seat does not obstruct the view of the driver in my vehicle.

I have not had this problem. When I put mine on I cleaned the windows real well and made sure they were pressed on real good. The side that goes on the window I believe was smoother and shinier.

I used this same film on a window in a duplex I rented and just peeled it off before I left. I then cleaned the window with a standard window cleaner. I had only had the film on for 1 year. Gila offers some alternate ideas http://www.gilafilms.com/en/Film-FAQ.aspx.

I don't think so. The birds can probably see the screen. The windows that I have added these decals to hardly ever have bird hits anymore. They work well.

I am having that problem as well. I haven't found a solution though. Giving her a bath didn't help much. My husband says the reason for the discoloration is fine particles of chrome oxide from the chrome plating and it is not harmful to the dog.

It seems as tho it would - I wouldn't think that tint would keep window from breaking ! Not mentioned - hope I never need to find out

I do not use the window film with my unit and with the exception of direct sunlight shining on the unit, you can see the display with no issues. In fact, even in direct sunlight it is visible but not as bright.

Not bad at all, but I live in So Cal and had all the windows open. If you have dogs, though, ticking around with their little nails, it will unfortunately lose its luster.

If you don't want to completely remove the aluminum screen and then replace it, you could try using hot-melt glue to attach the pet screening over it. I can't imagine it'll come out looking too good, though.

I have had mine down before the Wisconsin winter set in way before, to keep birds from flying into the window, works fine no problems, I have spacers between the bottom of the screen and window so when birds fly into the window they have a bit of airspace between the screen and window.

My nine pound dog can see out the side window and front windshield. I have bucket seats in the front and it is too far away for him to stick his head out, unless he would stand and lean toward the window. I don't think that would be a safe option.

I do have tint on the rear windows, I did not roll the windows up and down however. The plastic tabs that seat in the window jam tended to come out on their own so if the window was rolled up and down it would definitely have caused the cargo guard to fall off. Seeing how hard the tabs are, it is my opinion that they would easily scratch the tint, I would not recommend rolling up and down.

My windows in my vehicle are factory tinted and had NO problems. However, I would be skeptical with the after market film type tint.
