QUOTE(ccdin1 @ Jan 14 2009, 08:57 AM) Bomb attack?!?1 hahaha, that's a bit extreme unless you are gonna drive around in Bombay! We might be thinking the thicker the better for security reason. What if when come to emergency and you are trapped in the car, the fireman may have difficulty in breaking the windows!! argh! This is the reason why windscreen and rear windscreen cant be fitted with security film. Only normal film. So in case emergency, last but not least firemen still can try breaking the windscreen...

QUOTE(foocy2001 @ Jan 14 2009, 01:55 PM) Think about it, if robber wants to break in, they want to do it easy and quick. Breaking windscreen (front and rear) and crawling into the car is not exactly 'smooth' and quick. Not impossible but unlikely. That's why you tint only the 4 side windows as break-in occurs mainly in these areas. Actually main reason we cant tint security film on main windscreen is because, security film are thicker than conventional solar tint. If you noticed our windscreen is not flat, its more curvy and putting and thick film will cause distortion to the visibility and cause dizziness to drivers. Hence security film is only at the side window and not main glasses and it may cause distortion of image and led to possible untoward incident.  Furthermore i think the glass at windscreen and rear screen are typically thicker thus stronger than windows.. This post has been edited by devinz: Jan 14 2009, 02:47 PM

QUOTE(anson81 @ Jan 14 2009, 02:49 PM) but i heard front mirror cannot do any tint at all... is that true? You can but just normal solar tint. (2mil if not mistaken) In fact, its the most important area to be tinted as it has the largest surface exposed to the sun and will transmit the heat to the car interior. If you tint 4 windows only and not main windscreen and rear then forget about tinting as you are wasting your money. This post has been edited by devinz: Jan 14 2009, 02:53 PM
