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

The first half had a crack and had to be thrown away before installation. Second half: complex installation, didn't want to shrink to a window shape. There were a lot of bubbles left and either the glue or Gila's application liquid left a dirty layer between the foil and the glass.

Even if you come across this "window tint" it will go bad. I'm not sure how to successfully apply it to a window that you want to see or want someone to see? If you could unroll it and then apply it without touching or bending it, maybe? dropped it after a few days.

The clay is quite easy to apply compared to other brands, the color is nice and dark. There is no purple in this product and it will stay that way. Use plenty of application solution for best results. My particular reel was crushed so there are some creases in it which is far from ideal but not the manufacturer's fault. One roll was enough to make a full size pickup truck front windshield without the need for replacement material. Protects against the sun in summer and keeps your car looking…

Wanted to tint the front windows in my work truck without dropping a bunch of 💰. It was perfect for the application. It took me 2 tries to get it right so you might want to buy 2 boxes. 1 box was just enough for a Chrysler minivan. After a month of use, the veil finally disappeared. But I couldn't get a few bubbles on the floor to leave. Professional paint can usually be reduced with a heat gun to remove the last few bubbles. This shade won't shrink under a heat gun, so you'll have to work!

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…

Absolutely awful. Very difficult to use and impossible to perform without making mistakes. I recently bought 4 different Gila films and put them on the windows in my house with great pleasure and I really liked them all. However, this product is HORRIBLE! The attached photo was my second attempt at applying foil. After noticing all the imperfections on the first try - yes, I was finally able to apply it successfully - I tore it off and tried again from the unused part of the foil. On one shot…

bought two rolls, primarily to cool down while driving (Hawaii). One roll was enough for the CRV windscreens, the second for 5 Miata windows. 35% was ideal - noticeably cooler, light enough, night vision does not deteriorate. However, the installation turned out to be a bit more difficult. After watching a YouTube video I installed it using a mixture of water and baby soap. Steps: 1. Clean the interior and exterior windows.2. Wipe the windows with a mop, wipe with a microfiber cloth.3. Place…

I have some experience with car window tinting. I was tutored by a pro and built about a dozen cars. Then I changed jobs and didn't fix anything for about 2 years. I needed to tint a window in my house so I decided to just grab some and give it a try. This shade works very well. One star deducted for several reasons. First I ordered 5% and it says so on the box but it doesn't seem to be 5%. I've attached a picture with the windows side by side and let me just say that the hue in the photo…
