currently, i am planning for car tint and come across the term VLT%

so, in order to meet JPJ requirement, we must have VLT% more than 50% for side and more than 70% for windscreen?

need some expert to help for this

JPJ  you need 50%++ for side . 70%++ for windscreen ,
for puspakom , 90% also will consider fail  ( sometime depend on luck)
most of the tint in market is JPJ compliance , unless that's some tint is very dark and the shop will tell you that is illegal .pm me your budget i can recommend you some tint

my budget is RM2k or below, slightly above 2K still ok for me
i am looking for security film for side (not easily break)

Yes, that is correct in theory, but in real-life practice, it is not as simple as that. Since all windscreens do not come in VLT100%, some VLT90%, some VLT80% etc., even if the tint itself is VLT70%, after installation the windscreen may register a VLT of 60% or lower. Similarly, for a tint that is VLT50%, after installation the windscreen may end up with VLT35%.

In summary, most tints that comply to JPJ requirements, after these tints are installed to your vehicle's windscreen, if it goes through Puspakom inspection, chances are likely that it will fail the test. The normal practice is to choose a tint that does not look to dark (in real life) so as the police or JPJ guys will not stop you when you ard driving on the roads. The risk will be lower with tints that have lighter shades, higher with tints that have darker shades.

More important is to check with tint installer whether they provide JPJ warranty in the event you get stopped by the police or JPJ. Some tint dealers/installers provide up to 5-years JPJ warranty(Smart Window/Huper Optik provides this). In the event you get into trouble with the police or JPJ within 5 years, they will settle for you. Only for select tints above VLT42%. Those below 40% that are deemed as too dark for side windscreens, JPJ warranty coverage is not provided.

You want to play safe just choose within VLT50% for sides and 70% for fronts even though they will still fail the test at Puspakom. With lower VLT figures, usually you will gain better heat rejection with higher TSER figures, generally. That is why most people choose darker tints (higher TSER) to have better heat rejection.

With a RM2K budget you can pretty much afford any premium tinting package, after a reasonably good discount.

OK, but i am looking for more info about the security film type (4mil and above)
i heard from my friends that some of the tint/film can go until 8mil, but is there any side effect for thick tint?
anyone here got any experience with tinting film of 4mil and above?

if not mistaken, those normal solar/heat control film is around 1.5~2.0mil?

have you guys encounter this problem before?

once i turn power off, the display lcd and speedometer remain lit up. It only switch off once i lock the car

i might be wrong but i think the display is draining the battery. my car is barely 2mths old and i have to jump start it twice already. 1st time is during installation of tinting, the car engine is off but the doors remain open during installation and when i tried to leave after installation, the engine couldn't start. 2nd time was when i left car at car porch without locking the doors, the next morning the engine couldnt start.

dont know whether is a battery problem or ignition problem
*
OMG, how many hours you took to install your tinting?

i start to worry on this because i am going for tint installation soon

anything i can do here?
