Quick question about window tinting
Hi Guys,
I don't know about you, but I'm not happy with the quality of my window tiniting, especially in the hot summer days. It doesn't seem to block enough sunlight and the other thing it doesn't provide enough privacy if the car is parked outdoors.
I had a type of window tinting on my old camry that was similar (if not the same) as the one Terranismo has on his black xtrail.
The question:
Can the windows be re-tinted? either by applying a second layer of darker tint (but still keeping within the legal limit) OR stripping of the existing tinting and starting from scratch with the one I really like.
I have mentioned to the nissan dealer that I didn't like the quality of the tinting they chose and they said thats all what other xtrails get if they choose to have it done by the dealer.

Re: Quick question about window tinting
Thanks terranismo.
I don't think the dealer tint is low quality, as they gave a life time warranty on it and it hadn't bubbled over the past 2 years I had the car or anything (although I wish it had).
The problem is it's not dark enough to block sunlight and give me the privacy I want.
I'll go to my local car tinting shop and see what they suggest. will also ask them about your tint type.

Re: Quick question about window tinting
Hi Shane and thanks for the reply.
No, I haven't fixed the problem yet. No time to fix it, but hopefully I'll get around it now that I'm on holidays.
I really like the 5% tint and it gives full privacy, plus the car will look awsome (specially in black)
Any idea how much the strip and retint process would cost for both the 20% and the 5%
Does you sister have any contacts in Sydney?

Re: Quick question about window tinting
Hi Shane, my new X-Trail is going to Solace on the coast via the dealer.. I was going to ask the dealer to arrange the 20% & 5% instead of the stock smoke light shades. Would you say its better to ring Solace direct to arrange it and pay them the difference?
