Hi

My friend's car - a bmw was fixed with a well known safety tint - 4 mil. He stopped his car at a traffic light. 2 guys in a motorbike broke the passenger glass so easily by just using a spark plug. 2 or 3 hits the entire glass shattered.

I am a bit surprised to see this. My questions are

a) Can a safety tint just be broken by an instrument made using a spark plug
b) Does different tint brands have different weak points and thieves are aware of it.
c) Safety tint should stick together right. This one the whole glass came down!
d) Does thieves can easily identify the tint type - the brand/whether safety or not?

Would appreciate those in the know how can explain so that we can protect ourselves.

Thanks

What are the thieves going after? Your friend placed handbag on passenger seat? Which tinted film brand your friend used?

You have to take into account that the original windscreen and windows have a certain % of tint from factory.
If you fix 30% tint + factory tint = lower than 30% end result.
That is why all front windscreen fix with 70% + factory tint = cannot pass JPJ 70%.

Don't know which tint can pass JPJ 70% for front windscreen.

Raytech customer service said they have taken factory tint percentage into consideration and if JPJ set the rules at 50%, their testing device usually adjusted to 6% -/+.

Not sure if it's true, better check with owners who had done up tinting and check with JPJ.

Anyone using Raytech 6mil series? Do you have problem with smart tag detection? If no, where do you place your smart tag?

Hi bro, sorry for the trouble caused. If u are facing problem with Ultra 70 and smartag, you can hold the the smartag on the middle of the dashboard when passing toll.  As picture below smile.gif

And need reduce speed until 10km/h to let the car move with gear speed (no need to press pedal & to be slower as you can). It definitely can pass smartag. If the problem still there, you can send the car to our shop, we will check and settle the problem for u. Cheers bro smile.gif

Thanks, will try it this way. I placed it on front of dashboard earlier and no detection, have to put device out of window in order for to pass.

Your smart tag need to be vertical to be effective. Use Lord Gitsy's method and hold it very close to the glass. Even touching the glass is OK. Guaranteed will go through. I'm using Ultra 70 also.

I actually got stuck at Kesas Toll. Will test it again using his method on other toll. Thanks for your feedback.

Anyone installed security tint from Raytech lately? I have a V-Cool tint on Merc GLA 250 installed last year but facing issues with RFID detection at condo's entry. My Subaru XV have no issue and it's using Raytech. Ain't sure if this is due to the thickness of the windscreen for continental car.

Am expecting another car coming soon. Still surveying around for tint and coating.
