Just to confirm what someone else has already said, tint works wonders for keeping the car cool... spend the hundred bucks and get it tinted... plus it looks alot better.

As for tinting, I guess it will take my Yaris almost its whole life time to generate enough additional savings (through tinted windows which will reduce the fuel required to run the A/C) to pay me back the money so invested. Still want to thank you for the great idea! I am sure that it will work and will be an added benefit to those members who will tint anyway. |

Regarding running the fan for a few minutes before switching off the car, I would further suggest to run it at the highest speed and on humid days even run it with the thermostat set to the warmest. This will hopefully remove the residual moisture and prevent bad smell from building inside the system overnight. |

i have seen a lot of cars with window tint that is bubbling, especially on the back window,
is this common problem with tints? if so, do tint companies have a warranty? |

it's a problem w/cheap tint, especially with people who buy autozone tint(i guess Canadian Tire or whoever you guys have) and put it on themselves, cheap tints don't have as good of glue as the tint shops get and if it's done right it should last the life of the car, and some places even warrant for the life of the car.....

The a/c i tested it, seems fine. In toronto i got the yaris aero package, it doesn't come with a/c. So i had to add it on as an option.

It also depends on how new the tint is. Small bubles can be seen in brand new tint, but they dissapear and the tint is suppose to look perfect after a few days.
When I got mine car tinted there was a massive white smear on the passenger window. A few days later is was completely gone.

I had my tint thrown in for free, and have had no problems with it - it sits in the sun all day in Canada's sunniest city, too. And it was 32 degrees today.

My car was the opposite! Has anyone heard of Ziebart? Apparently they're world wide, anyway that's where I got mine, its a quality tint for the most part but my rear driverside window and the back window show some bubbles but you have to look hard at it...but the thing is it was perfect up in till now but my one year warrenty is up...I guess I have to let it go for now and get it re-done later, I heard (don't know if its true) that tint doesn't last forever or for at least more than 5 years? I guess it depends on the quality For anyone who has their front windows done, does the tint stop at about a quarter inch from the top of the glass pane? Or does it go all the way? Just wondering if thats normal when tinting, cause with my windows (passenger and driver roll down windows) the tint stops at about quarter inch from the top of the window pane, I guess it doesn't really matter cause when you have your windows closed you can't tell or see it, it just seems "cheap" because you paid $200 plus dollars for this job. I don't know, just wanted opinions.

All the tint jobs I've gotten done the tint goes all the way up to the top of the glass, and below the seals, you can't tell at all that there's a tint film edge.
Also, I always make sure I get a tint with a lifetime warranty - true the tint won't last forever, but good tint will last a min. of 5 years or more. With the warranty, and a good shop that has been in buisness and still will be in buisness, you should not have to worry. Some will cover everything, some the warranty will cover the cost of the tint and the shop will give you a cut rate on the labor to install and replace it, if it ever fades or bubbles. |

Thanks for the informative heads up-I guess that makes sense now. Yeah the cut off is pretty clean so its not too cheap looking, it looks like its suppose to do that as you mentioned. I only asked that cause my co-worker said that his friends tint goes all the way. Anyway don't mean too get off topic, thanks again!
