Installing window tint to a vehicle's side and rear windows greatly enhances the style and appearance of your ride, and provides increased protection from UV rays, heat, and glare for a more comfortable driving experience. The benefits of window film can help preserve your vehicle's interior from UV exposure that can cause damage to upholstery, fading, or dashboard warping or cracking over time. Window tint also offers increased privacy, and is rated based on the light transmission, meaning the percentage of light that is able to pass through the tint.

Understanding how to remove old window tint and installing new window tint properly can be time-consuming depending on a variety of factors, including the tint used, the adhesive, and the amount of time it's been on the window.
