Should I Apply the Free Window Tint Film Offered by the 4S Store for My New Car?

In principle, most vehicle models do not require separate window tint film application, but the decision should ultimately depend on the owner's personal needs. Effects of Tint Film on Regular Models: Generally, the glass of regular vehicle models already provides some level of heat insulation and UV protection, although the effect is not very pronounced. High-End Models Come with Heat-Insulating Glass: These models are equipped with heat-insulating glass, which often has a slight green tint—commonly referred to as "green glass." For even higher-end vehicles, the rear windows may also come with privacy glass, both of which effectively provide heat insulation and UV protection.
I think the quality of free car window films is often not great, like those offered by 4S shops are mostly low-end products with poor light transmission and prone to bubbling. A relative of mine chose a cheap one to save money, and within just a few months, bubbles appeared, not only affecting visibility but also making the windows look dirty. If you really want to apply a film, it's better to increase your budget and choose a reputable brand with strong UV protection and heat insulation effects. Although it costs a few hundred yuan more, it lasts longer. Free films may sound tempting, but they often bring more trouble in actual use. I suggest carefully considering your needs—if you live in a southern area with strong sunlight, the poor shading effect might not be worth it. In the long run, saving a little money now could lead to bigger problems later.
