Hi all, anyone using tinted has wave effect on front windscreen when there is reflecting light ?
Tinted shop claims it is because civic FCC front windscreen is very curve.

Or are you referring to the rainbow effect under fluorescent lighting (eg. car park)?

If you referring to the wave... as in when you see through it will have lines/waves of distortion then that is workmanship issue.

Not the rainbow effect...
Is the lines/ waves of distortion in certain area.
When there is a car in front and you see the front car car plate. Will see line/ wave...

To be sure, if your just got this tint less than 2 weeks ago, give it time to cure. Any distortion after a good baking in the sun for a couple weeks is worksmanship/film problem. Be careful when driving at night with this

Yes, first tinted is after 2 weeks not enough sun bake and go back re do 2nd time.

2nd time now is less than 1 week, sun bake few days and found the issue same.

Is it Normal must to have sun bake for 2 weeks ?

That is workmanship issue. I had my windscreen installed 3 times... first time had the wave you mentioned, 2nd time got dents but no wave, third one... got minor waves but I gave up ._. after 2 years or so then I claim again.

Sure the shop will tell you it will go off after 2 weeks... but based on my experience this round, its workmanship and does go off one.

I see, the wave is disturbing...
What is your tinted brand ?

Im using Vkool as well (V Kool 55) on mine. I can tell there is no such wave/distortion as u say.
But last time on my Wira, i faced this wavy scenario (mid range brand tint). Brought back to shop
and the sales guy agree to change it immediately.

Yes, wonder why ... mostly workmanship ?
Tested civic Glenmarie test car with ecotint also nosuch issue.

Mostly would be workmanship or the Film itself was not in good form prior to installation.

Yes...now thinking how to solve it.

Workmanship as well as incomplete curing I guess? Don’t hear any complaints from our members using VKool - other than the occasional smart tag issues smile.gif

Maybe, just would like to know what is other members Vkool Package price ?
