Will this hurt the tint on my windows (because of how you adhere it)? And/or, if I have tint, do I really need this?

My personal recommendation, please, please, please, stay away from this horrendous product if you love your car. It will run your Windows, and yes if you have a good enough tint then you don't need this or any other shades for that matter. Also, using this product will necessitate am expensive visit to fix the damage done by is adhesive.

This is not an adhesive so it does simply cling to your window and not adhere.

They dont ruine the windows at all,think of them just like the static cling stickers 9which also dont stick at all once dirty..yeah same applies with these) i was pretty diapointed with these,they dont tint the brightness of the sun at all. .....at all....but do go on and come off very easily.

My window is slight tinted (factory) and it did not affect it at all. Not sure if you go with a darker tint how it would affect its performance.

I am no expert on this, but I believe you would apply the film to the inside part of the windows. I know that's were mine went. I have heard of people installing the film on the outside, but it would seem to have a shorter life time due to the elements.Craig

I never tried it on convertible windows as you described...However, I will say that it is the only cleaner/polish I have used that didn't scratch any type of plastic/clear window type material.Some of the plexi-type glasses require a special type of cleaner. However, I do not believe this one would cause any trouble for you.

I did it dry, just used a heat gun to form it better. To be honest you're better off getting tint elsewhere..........this stuff is already peeling off of my wifes taillights.

If you see this type of HAZE or discoloration you have Plastic or polycarbonate . Glass would never do this and would be far easier to clean, why your windows don't have this issue. Kit is polycarbonate or plastic lenses.

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.

I doubt it, when removing it from the liner there's clearly an adhesive on the tint. Trying to remove that while not destroying the tint would be difficult at best.

No this is not something that can be used on your car windows. It is applied with water and meant to be used on stationary windows only. Totally worth it though, it reduces both heat and light.

I suppose you could technically apply it to the outside, but it would not last nearly as long, because of the exposure to weather. I have been installing this type of film for over 30 years, and I have never seen anyone install it on the outside of the window.

No, it will not ruin your window. It just uses static cling to stay in place.

I bought the tint for this reason. I moved into a house which faces the morning sun. The radiant heat was unbearable even after installing draw down blinds and curtains. After applying the tint the heat went down considerably. I am considering applying this product on the windows on the west side of the house but I do enjoy some natural light. The tint will darken a room considerably but the cooling factor is a plus for anyone living in a hot climate.

Well I can imagine this could damage the seal to the window if left in place 24/7. You basically have to ram those lower two "sticks" (for lack of better terminology to call them) into the lower portion of your window - between the window and that little flexible piece that rests against the window. So it does push that back a little. And then there is that top part. When you roll the window all the way up, obviously that is going to make an impression in the seal. My advise would be to only have it "installed" if you are actively using it. When it is not needed, just take it out so the impressions in the seals don't become permanantly warped or damaged.

Use a razor blade held at an angle. Then go over it again with the blade and windex. The only way I can see it ruining anything is if it was placed on the inside of the window, then removing it would/could mess up the tint.

Not at all in my experience, but I'd expect to at least use some Windex after you remove it. You're likely to smudge the windows pretty badly putting it on or taking it off.

No - pretty sure the directions specifically state not to. Designed for single or double paned windows. Long list of types of glass not to use it on was included. As a side note - it seems to heat the surface of the window some - so I would worry about it propagating cracks or chips as well.

I have tinted rear windows from the factory and no, they are not scratched when using these door guards. After market tints might be a different situation though.
