PET car window tint film roll: privacy and coolness for your rear windows
This car window tint film made of heavy-duty PET is sold in rolls 50 cm wide, in lengths of 2 m or 5 m. It is designed for those who want to darken the rear side windows and the rear window to protect passengers from the sun, keep items out of sight, and give the car a more elegant look, without going to a shop.
Why choose this car window tint film
- Three levels of opacity: 5% (dark black), 18% (medium black), and 35% (light black) light transmission, to choose between maximum privacy and visibility.
- UV protection film: the filtering layer limits the passage of ultraviolet rays that discolor seats and interior plastics.
- Less heat in the cabin: the nano-ceramic layer reduces the heating of the rear seats in the middle of summer.
- 2 mil thickness: a flexible film that conforms to slightly curved windows, with a scratch-resistant coating on the inside.
- Residue-free adhesive: it can be removed cleanly if you sell the vehicle.
- Car window tint film roll to cut: 2 m is generally enough for two side windows, 5 m covers a complete hatchback or sedan at the rear.
Car window tint film installation: a clean result at home
The car window tint film installation is done with soapy water, which leaves time to position the film. Clean the window thoroughly, cut the film slightly larger than the window, spray the water, remove the protection, apply the adhesive side, then push out the water and air with a squeegee from the center to the edges. Recut with a cutter along the joint. Allow about 30 to 45 minutes per window for a first installation. Do not wash the car or roll down the windows for 2 to 3 days, until the glue dries. For a very curved rear window, a hairdryer helps shrink the film; a beginner can entrust this window to an installer.
Car window tint film and the law: where to apply it
In France, the windshield and front side windows must allow at least 70% of light to pass through. These three shades (5%, 18%, and 35%) are therefore reserved for the rear side windows and the rear window, provided that the car has two exterior rearview mirrors. A front window that is too dark exposes you to a fine and a re-inspection.
Technical specifications
The film is made of multilayer polyester (PET): scratch-resistant coating, nano-ceramic heat reduction layer, clear PET base, pressure-sensitive adhesive, UV stabilization layer, and removable protection. Width 50 cm, length 2 m or 5 m to choose from, thickness 2 mil (about 0.05 mm).
Frequently asked questions
Which shade to choose for the rear windows?
The 5% gives a very dark limousine effect, the 18% a good compromise between privacy and visibility, the 35% a light smoke that is barely noticeable at night.
Can this film be applied to the front windows?
No: in France, the front windows and the windshield must maintain at least 70% light transmission, which these shades do not allow.
How much film is needed for a car?
Measure your rear windows and the rear window: 2 m often covers two side windows, 5 m leaves room for the rear window and cutting errors.
How to avoid bubbles?
Work away from dust, wet generously, and push out the water with a squeegee; small traces of condensation disappear in a few days.
Is the film easy to remove?
Yes, heated with a hairdryer, it peels off without leaving glue on the glass.
