20% tint - any issues?

[bbell]

Tint will make NO difference to the person you hit....its a thin film. Seriously.....it will just hold the glass fragments together.

some people are also talking about putting security film on. Has anyone tried removing it.....trust me its strong i removed some from my house windows

kenf - if someone smashes your window like they did to mine, the tint does sh1t all but hold small sections up which didn't get fully shattered.

[Ken-f]

Thats what i was trying to say. I saw the pics of your window. Terrible. But the person who smashed yours must've pushed it in or hit it multiple times, If someone was hit on the windscreen, it'd be 1 impact, not a a few. .... unless of course you hit the person intentionally....multiple times, or you hit 10 ppl in a row.

if you're going to deliberately hit someone in your pride and joy then why do you care about the windscreen smashing?

[Ken-f]

.....your kidding right? I was being sarcastic. lol.

[hotdc2]

20%? What has insurance said about this?

[Ken-f]

It's something you wouldn't want to tell them. But if anyone did, let use know!

You wouldn't tell them because window excess costs more than repairing the window.

NRMA quoted me $600 for the broken window and i got my mate to order in window from HA and all up cost me $400 with it fitted. (Front passenger side window)

tinting makes the windscreen stronger, hence more inpact to pedestrians. The windscreen should be left as it and not tinted. Hey just telling you what a qualified tinter told me. Hence why its ILLEGAL to have it dine. Only thing you can tint on a windscreen is a sunvisor strip. Just my 20c worth.

In actual fact it doesn't make the screen stronger at all.
For that qualification to be made correct, you'd have to have a 21 ply film SECURITY film applied and that means a film 10 times thicker than normal film.
That ain't going to happen.

20% films are illegal and always have been and insurance companies know that and therefore a way to absolve them of a claim if need be.

tinter, so do you agree that if you tint the front window and you happen to hit someone it will cause more injury to the pedestrian, an you will be in alot of trouble?
