7 Mistakes with Tinting Windows to Avoid for Car Owners

Getting your car windows tinted can be a great way to enhance privacy, reduce glare, and keep your vehicle cooler. But there are some common mistakes that car owners make when tinting their windows. Avoid these errors to ensure you get the best results from your window tinting job.

Choosing the Wrong Tint Percentage

One of the most common mistakes is having your windows tinted too dark. Many states prohibit aftermarket tinting on the front driver and passenger windows that block more than a certain percentage of light, usually around 30-35%. Going darker than the legal limit leaves you vulnerable to being pulled over and ticketed. Even if your state doesn't restrict tint percentages, an extremely dark tint can be dangerous for driving visibility. Consult your state's laws and choose a tint darkness that balances aesthetics, glare reduction, and safety.

It's important to understand the differences between tint percentages to find the right balance:

50% tint is very light and will not noticeably affect visibility or light transmission. This is a good choice if laws restrict darker tints.

35% tint starts to have a visible effect, providing some glare relief while still allowing plenty of light into the cabin. A popular choice for many car owners.

20% tint provides optimal glare reduction and privacy while still allowing sufficient light for safe driving. Ideal for owners who want a darker tint.

5% tint is extremely dark and not legal in most states for front driver/passenger windows since visibility is substantially reduced. Best reserved for rear windows only.

Consulting with a professional tint installer can help you select the ideal percentage tint that meets legal requirements while also getting the visibility and aesthetics you desire.

Using Low-Quality Film

Cheaping out on the window tint film to save a few bucks is a mistake. Low-quality tint often contains optical distortions and oozes a purple hue. Stick with reputable brands known for performance and clarity. High-quality film blocks more infrared rays for cooler interiors and provides better glare reduction. The small upcharge for premium tint is worth it.

Here are signs you have a poor-quality tint:

Bubbles or streaks visible in the film - Indicates imprecise cutting and application.

Purple or other uneven coloring - Cheap dyes that degrade over time.

Fast peeling or cracking - Lack of adhesive ingredients for longevity.

Visual distortions of objects - Lower-grade optics scatter light irregularly.

Brands like Tinting Express Limited, 3M, LLumar, and FormulaOne offer exceptional optics, longevity, and heat rejection. Investing in quality tint leads to superior durability and performance for years.

Tinting the Whole Windshield

Many car owners make the error of having their whole windshield tinted and not just the top portion. Most states prohibit aftermarket tinting on the main part of the windshield as it can dangerously obstruct driving vision. The tint is typically only allowed on the AS-1 line at the very top of the windshield. Even that stripe should be a lighter shade. Leave the bulk of your windshield untouched.

Having your entire windshield tinted risks:

Reduced visibility of pedestrians, traffic signals, and road signs.

Difficulty driving safely at night due to glare from oncoming headlights.

Increased eyestrain from trying to see through the dark tint.

Distorted views of vehicles ahead through improperly applied tint bubbles.

Ticket fines for exceeding tinting limits on the windshield.

Leave at least 70% of your windshield clear and untouched. The small upper section that can be legally tinted should use a tint no darker than 30% for minimal visibility impact.

DIY Installation

It may seem easy to buy a roll of tint and do it yourself. But professional window tinting is very difficult to master. The film must be cut precisely to avoid bubbles and uneven application. Mistakes lead to peeling and ripped tint. The tools and experience of professional tinters lead to a clean, crisp tinting job that lasts. Don't botch it yourself.

DIY tint kit problems:

Inadequate tools - Lack of an application fluid solution, razor blades, and squeegees leads to imprecise, uneven cuts.

Hard-to-reach windows - Doors and rear windshields are difficult to tint without a helper and professional rail system.

Improperly cleaned glass - Grease and dirt cause bubbling when not cleaned properly first.

Inexperienced application - Applying tint smoothly without bubbles takes practice.

Fast wear and peeling - Kits lack the premium tint film and adhesive of pro installs.

Leave your car windows to the seasoned experts. The cost is reasonable for work that can last 5 years or longer when professionally done.

Not Cleaning Windows First

Failing to properly clean the glass beforehand is asking for trouble. Grease, dirt, and debris ruin tint adhesion and cause bubbling. Use detergent to clean each window thoroughly before application. Also, wipe with ammonia-free glass cleaner to remove any soap residue. Taking the time to start with squeaky clean windows prevents many tinting headaches.

Be sure to:

Clean the inside and outside of each window pane.

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid scratches.

Get into crevices and window edges for complete cleaning.

Dry windows fully after cleaning

Repeat cleaning if any streaks or spots remain.

Take your car through a wash to start. Then, use detergent and glass cleaners by hand for a detailed treatment. Maintaining ultra-clean windows before tinting allows for the best adhesion and optical clarity.

Rushing the Curing Process

Newly applied tint needs time to fully cure and bond to the glass. Rushing this process by rolling down windows prematurely or forcing them open leads to adhesion failure down the road. Follow the recommended curing timeline (often 5-7 days). Park in the shade during curing when possible, and avoid rolling down windows for extended periods for at least a week. A little patience prevents the tint from peeling later.

Be sure to:

Keep windows rolled up for the recommended curing period.

Avoid direct sun exposure on the tint if possible.

Refrain from using automatic car washes for 1-2 weeks.

Hold off on scraping ice or snow from windows for a few weeks.

Never roll windows all the way down for at least 5-7 days.

The ingredients in tint film need moisture and time for optimal bonding and hardening. Follow the tint installer's care instructions in the letter.

Skipping the Top Edge

For a truly professional-looking job, don't neglect the top edge of the window when applying tint. Stopping the film 1-2 inches short of the upper window frame leaves a sloppy, unfinished appearance. Continuing the tint all the way to the rubber seal around the window makes it look complete. Windshield tint stripes, in particular, should meet the upper edge cleanly. Take those extra minutes to tint the tops properly.

Benefits of tinting to the edges:

Enhanced UV protection from extra tint coverage area

Improved privacy with no gaps of visible glass

Better temperature reduction without uncovered strips

More finished, seamless look

No risk of peeling from an uneven top cut

The tiny upper portion may seem minor, but failing to tint it ruins the aesthetics. For just a few extra inches of material, you get superior coverage and appearance.

Avoiding all these common mistakes takes a little extra research and diligence upfront. But the benefits are cleanly applied, great-looking window tint that lasts for the long haul. Taking the time to do it right means you'll get to enjoy the benefits of cooler interiors, UV ray protection, and enhanced privacy for years before having to replace peeling, bubbling tint jobs. Find an experienced professional, communicate exactly what you want, and follow their care recommendations post-installation. Driving away with flawless, functional window tint makes all the difference.
