Should the Rearview Mirror Area Be Left Uncovered When Applying Car Window Tint?
1 Answers
When applying car window tint, it is necessary to leave an uncovered area for the rearview mirror. Below is relevant information about window tinting: 1. Precautions for window tinting: When applying tint, it is essential to choose high-quality film and have it installed by a professional. Low-quality films may not meet light transmittance standards, which can impair the driver's visibility during nighttime driving. It is not recommended to apply tint to the front windshield, as this may obstruct the driver's view. When tinting the side windows of the driver and front passenger seats, two sections should be left untinted to ensure the driver has a clear view of the side mirrors. After applying the tint, avoid rolling the windows up or down, as this may cause the film to peel. 2. Duration of window tint use: Generally, car window tint can last about three years. After removing the tint, a significant amount of adhesive residue may remain on the glass. Before attempting to remove this residue, it is important to soften the adhesive to facilitate removal. If the adhesive is not softened and scraped off directly, it may leave scratches on the glass. After softening the adhesive with alcohol or essential balm, use a plastic scraper to remove it, avoiding harder metal tools that could damage the glass.
