Hmm..already tinted my car wholly with a tinting film that rejects 99% of UV & Forte windows also come with UV rejection properties. I believe that should helps..& i also believe that the heat is still penetrates in a form of infra red rays that heats the car's internal. According to my tinting film specs, it will also rejects 95% of infra red rays. That explain why my car need to be parked long enough under the sun before the internal heated up...

Actually i installed the 6 mil security tint film (thousand RM tint..hehe) with UVR 99% & IRR 95% properties on all my car's windows & windscreen. However, Forte's windows already came with some sort of UV reduction glass as standard..not a tint obviously. & this UV reduction glass is meant to reduce the UV rays only (not sure up to what % also) & not to reduce the infra red rays (which refers to IRR) as far as i know...

The tint in on windows only right? but not for the windshields..anyone can clarify?

Edited : My bad..already read the so-called 'Preve specs sheet' posted previously..from my understanding the premium Preve come with security tint film for all windows & windshileds Hopefully it is true...

Good info bro i do hope that Preve come with it..no need to fork out extra money for tinting when i got (my wife actually) the car later on.

When i installed the security tint on my Forte previously, i use 6 mil for all windows + rear windshield. For front windshield, the installer suggest me to use max 3 mil only as anything beyond that might introduce problem to Smart Tag signal to penetrate or perhaps GPS device might having difficulties to lock-up the satellite signal. Considering his recommendation, i ended up with 3 mil tint film for front windshield..& i have to say that both my Smart Tag & in-dash GPS works well...

Good thinking..& i also thought about this scenario (touch wood) before i decided to install the security tint. So I always brought along a heavy steering lock & a small rambo knife..hopefully i have enough time (& strength) to slash/tear the tint film & smash the window/windshield using the heavy steering lock. Ya..i have to agree that this is the worst case scenario that we should think of.

By the way..i've heard or read somewhere before..it is much easier to break a window with a security tint if we smash it from inside rather than outside..is it proven? Can anybody shed some light about this?

It's just a small knife only..about 4" long..but it is sharp..hehe. Hopefully the police wont charge me

& yaa..the % is very low though it's not impossible to happen..touch wood!

Nothing as of now. Perhaps becoz i didnot ask for it. Haihh..i should ask about freebies first before book the car. Too rush that day. Anyway..will try my luck later on by asking my SA

Hahaha..u also drive like an uncle like me though bought a 2.0 car. I'm also a defensive type of driver. No cucuk one. I make use all of my car's power & torque mostly just for a quick & brief overtaking maneuver..hehe
