Review on Gila Heat Shield 5% VLT Automotive Window Tint DIY Heat Control Glare Control Privacy (6In X 26In Strips) by Brad Blake

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A strong, well-known shade at a great price. If installed correctly, it will last a very long time.

The Gila umbrella has been around for a long time and is a quality product. I think most of the reviews are from those with little knowledge of lens tinting. This film must be installed INSIDE your window. (I actually see people trying to get this on the outside) 35% is a decent tint and tends to keep the inside much cooler than no tint at all. It also offers good privacy at an affordable price. When installed correctly, this shade holds up very well and is fairly scratch resistant. Distortion is minimal, grip is amazing. Great product, I would buy again.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Some defects
