I have tinted windows on my car. Does anyone know if it will break the side window easily, if I ever have to use it in an emergency? Thank you.

My guess is it would make it slightly more difficult to break if the tint is the aftermarket film type. That's basically colored tape covering your window so even thought the glass might bread it will still be held loosely by the tape. You might have to hit it in more than one place and then tear or cut the tint film. I would think this tool would still be effective in getting the glass to a point where you can pull apart the tint film. You might even use the cutting blade to cut the film? Hope this helps.

No. I've tried! I just kept it on, because I could tell it was going to break & I didn't want a mess on my car window.

I never had any trouble with my vehicle tinted windows! However, as per directions, you should only use in your vehicle 20 minutes at a time.

Tinted glass is either coated on the outside with a film or a film between a sandwich glass. Just try a small section with water and a rag. I use this on metals, pianos, eyeglasses, just about everything and there has been no harm.

I have tinted glass on my Subaru and it works ok...they tend to loosen if you put the windows down

I didn't have any trouble seeing out the back window while driving, and I never bothered to take it down at night. Night driving with it is similar to the view I get when I flip that little tab on my rear view mirror if someone has their brights on behind me; you can still see everything but it's just less intense.

Good question Eik, we always ask our customers to call their licence Center to confirm, so they do not have any issues. We are aware that many of our customers use it in their front driver side window to block the sun, but please do confirm with your local board. Sorry we do not know the rules for each state. Sincerely Starlight and Sunny

Hi, It is not a one way tint like they put on car. It does not create any privacy. Just dims the glass a slight bit. If you put it side by side with a window without you will notice a slight difference, otherwise you will eventually forget it is even there. Kinda of tricky (requires patience) to install but not too hard.

yes u can... it does not get pulled or moved when u roll down the window. Just take your time to "stretch" them while installing to avoid creaces and air bubbles using something like a credit card and u will never have to look back... great substitute for permanent tint.

How big is the total area? I have a 10-12' window, opens on each side. I put alarm in the middle and banged on the side window, didn't do anything, so I hit it harder and it went off. Was scared to keep hitting the glass but if window was smash it would make the alarm go off. We have to turn the alarms off in big wind storms cause they will go off from wind/gusts. Only have had to turn them off 1 time from wind. Alarms are loud.

Thank God I haven't needed to break a window out of my car...so, the answer to your question is NO---but try it on an old piece of glass, auto glass would be best, to simulate a real automobile window. I've spoken with people familiar with how auto glass breaks and the blunt force from a hard, pointed object will break the glass in an instant. Bank on it!

I have them in my rear and back windows. My guess about what the person meant, was that with some "real" window tinting, it can make the car not get as hot if it's sitting in the sun. But that these window clings don't keep your car from getting hot; they would only block the sun. Again, this is my guess. I think it's a weird statement to make about window clings. I'm aware they're not like the real thing, but they do a good job of making my car less bright for my son in his rear-facing car seat. I'm not gonna get my windows tinted permanently for a temporary situation.

Window tinting is best applied on the inside of the windows. If applied to the outside, the weather would cause it to peel and come off. I applied it to the inside of the window and it works great!

One other 'Thought', you might put "Window Tint Film" on the Lense, I don't think it will catch FIRE!

Hey Deb. My car is also two doors, and windows in rear passenger seats do not open. So I have just the one opening to run the racks through. And I have a glass roof too which I was concerned about. I have carried a single and a tandem kayak. You do have to pull the racks and cinch them tightly. I noticed that the metal part of my roof was not very firm. The glass part was fine but the weight was not too heavy. So my experience with one door opening and a glass roof was fine. They didn't make roof racks for my Fiat and these really worked well for little $$ too!

You need to peel the clear plastic backing off. It's like a sticker. Use two pieces of masking tape in the corner and use it pull apart and separate. You need to spray it while you peel it with soapy water so it doesn't touch itself and stick together. If you haven't tinted Windows before, I suggest you watch some videos on utube. It's not easy if it's your first time doing it.

I haven't needed to use mine yet. Confident that it will break a car window though!
