    Tanong ko lang puede bang pasukan ng dust yung in between ng tint at glass during installtion of tint???

    this is the reply given to me when i have my liteace tinted... kasi i notice this parang mga lines sa windshield at surrounding tints na around 2mm long pero ang dami lalo na sa windshield

    I notice this only when in night time and when a car approaches from opposite side and his headlight beams to you head on your windshield, you will notice this plenty lines( or tiny bubbles kaya) on my windshield from my driver seat...

    what can you say tsikoteers here on my tints?? Thanks for inputs...

    WBR,

    Baka sa labas sila naginstall ng tints. Dapat talaga indoor para maminimize yung dusts and other foreign debree to get in between the glass and tint. Baka naman bubbles lang talaga yan, common problem talaga yan lalo na pag di maayos pagkakainstall.

    The right place to install car tints is indoors, to minimize dust particles.

    What I mean by indoors is sa may tinting room ininstall yung tint mo. Not in front of the shop, but they have a room where they close all doors and windows while they install your tint. But in your case, mukhang ginawang excuse lang yung dust. Kasi dapat nililinis nila maigi yung mga salamin before installing.

    maybe gasgas yan. dahil habang iniinstall ang tint hinahagod nila yan kaya pag hindi marunong o nagmamadali ang naglalagay nagkakagasgas ang tint.

    Don't think so. IMO the installer should thoroughly clean the window first before installing the tint.

    YES it was install of course indoor( sa loob ng van) , pina install ko sa isang shop sa banawe..
    What I meant is inside a shop or a room not on a parking lot like what you said. Cuz if they did it outdoors there's a greater chance of dust comming in contact between the tint and mirror.

    Its hard to tell. Madami bang bubbles? how big are the bubbles? mmm... paleta only? Dapat rubber squeegy and palata. Baka naman fake na 3M kinabit sayo.

    yes rubber squeegy paleta ang gamit niya... actually para siyang dust particles na 2mm in length average pero maputakti sa dami pag tiningnan mo sa harap ng any light sorce like fluoresecent lamp......

    ....lines? like how, parang streaks? baka naman hiniwa nila yung tint sa loob, baka gasgas ng cutter.

    ....since may warrant pa yan, isoli mo. after they remove the tint, inspect the glass carefully to make sure di windows may defect (some old cars have small chips on their windows).

    ...if excuse nung installer ang alikabok dapat talaga nilang ulitin kasi sila may mali dun.

    scarab: Sad to say most shops in banawe don't have any warranty for tint installations.

    Innova Boy, nakita mo bang nilinis nila muna yung salamin bago ininstall yung tint, baka nag short cut ang mga gago, Kasi kung nilinis nila yan, impossible naman na magkaroon ng ganoong karaming lines o bubbles. Also, gaano katagal mo na pinainstall yung tint, minsan kasi it takes up to 3 weeks for the bubbles to disappear.
