and kinda shocking to hear a gary glitter track being used

Why? 

It's just music that the producers considered appropriate for the film, isn't it?  Would you prefer Michael Jackson music, no one seems to complain about him too much, do they?

My point was that glass isn't the only, or main area, that contributes to the heating of a vehicle's interior and, therefore, the effect of window tinting film as a heat reducer is minimal and not even significantly measurable. If it was measurable I'm sure there would be comparable, real life, practical tests but I can't find any.

Yes I understood your point but my point was that I don't think that's true and I said why I think so. Your last point speaks I think exactly for the opposite because if window heat was not measurable then you'd expect there being studies or tests that would practically de-legitimize huge parts of the window tinting industry. And like you said you couldn't find any such tests confirming your arguments. Here's an article which lists some actual studies that confirm mine instead: http://www.christopherteh.com/blog/2013/03/car-cool/

 

I agree that the cars were not designed with insulation in mind and I never claimed they were and I never claimed the manufacturers claimed so either. The air gaps are just a side product but the fact remains that they exist and form an insulating layer. And no, they are not there just because the car can't be carved out of solid steel. Noone would build a car out of solid steel, what would be the point? You always want other materials for various reasons.

 

Because different people prefer different tints including no tint at all. There are lots of variations regarding material, darkness, reflectivity and color. Manufacturers really don't like to have a huge amount of variations for their cars to optimize manufacturing efficiency. That's why tints are then offered by dealers which apply it only after the car is ready. You mention the Middle East. Look at what percentage of cars in hot climates have tints vs the percentage of cars having a tint in colder climates. All these people don't just do it because it has no effect.

 

You can do a very simple test: park the car in the sun for a while. Then touch the interior side of your roof. Then touch your windshield from the inside. Which one is hotter? The hotter one transfers more heat to the inside of the car.

"I think exactly for the opposite because if window heat was not measurable then you'd expect there being studies or tests that would practically de-legitimize huge parts of the window tinting industry. And like you said you couldn't find any such tests confirming your arguments".

We're not discussing "window heat", we're discussing the interior temperature, big difference.

I was saying that there are no tests showing that your argument is justified, i.e. that there is a significant reduction in interior heat as a result of using tints! 

Your link showed an insignificant (in terms of occupants being able feel it) average reduction of 5ºC and did not justify tints as interior heat reducers any more than body colour or sunshades!

"You mention the Middle East. Look at what percentage of cars in hot climates have tints vs the percentage of cars having a tint in colder climates. All these people don't just do it because it has no effect".

If it was as efficient as after-market sellers like you to think, the manufacturers would do it themselves, but they don't, none of them.  Perhaps there's a reason for that!  Many people use tints for aesthetic reasons and anti-glare reasons, it's not all to do with (insignificant) heat reduction.

"Because different people prefer different tints including no tint at all. There are lots of variations regarding material, darkness, reflectivity and color. Manufacturers really don't like to have a huge amount of variations for their cars to optimize manufacturing efficiency".

That argument doesn't fly; manufacturers offer many different colour choices, don't they, many more than there are tint choices?  Nothing to do with "manufacturing efficiency".

Must be true if impartial, rational Thaivisa posters claim that they just heard about it happening somewhere, to someone.

You can easily verify yourself. Alternatively I'm also accepting arguments to refute my point of view. But not kindergarten style ????

How very gracious of you to deem to accept other members' comments, shame you'll only accept them in a style acceptable to you!

If it was measurable I'm sure there would be comparable, real life, practical tests out there but I can't find any.

Many people forget that the entire vehicle is made of heat transmitting steel that gets very hot when sitting under a tropical sun, regardless of your claim that the air inside panels (that is there only because the car cannot be carved out of solid steel) is there as an insulator!   No manufacturer claims that the vehicle was designed with in-panel, in-built, air insulation.  

And you know what?...no manufacturer, anywhere, even offers it as a factory option.  If the tint film is thermally effective as a cabin insulator, as some people claim, why is it not fitted as standard in the hottest places that could benefit from it such as the Middle East?

Good luck with yours, anyway.

My car has white exterior so that soaks up quite a bit less sun than e.g. a black one. Touching the interior side of the roof for example feels way less hot than touching any of the windows. Therefor, most of the heat comes through the windows in my car. This makes sense because there are several layers that make up the body work of a car whith air in between which acts as an insulator.

If you say so.

To be honest I don't think film makes a lot of difference regarding temp. If you leave the car out it will still be hot inside. Stopping the naught rays whilst you're in it is great, plus the A/C usually keeps up with stuff..

I think you're right particularly as window tint does nothing to block the heat that is conducted/convected to the interior through the steel body that loves to soak up the sun.

Sorry, but not even bothering to read your post, since it most certainly will not advance the thread in any way.

More likely just to continue a pointless argument or simply to pander to your ego.

 

have a nice day instead.

The thread got past the point of advancement several days ago when all the OPs questions were answered, in full, specifically and accurately!  I don't think I'm the one "pandering his ego" [sic].

Why?  Did I say something inaccurate?

Maybe he should have shown her more respect, not me, I didn't know her enough to respect her.  Maybe she should have had some self-respect?

Maybe you should not profess to be in a position to tell me who I should respect...but I doubt that.

It's seems that it is you who is looking for an argument.

He asked if it were possible and my answer was that it is, utilising a method wherein an authorisation code is utilised. 

What Bangkok Bank offers is a Cardless cash withdrawal. The only difference is that you cannot, at the moment, do so via their ATM network.

 

My comment was aimed at those who stated that it wasn't possible or who suggested that it was only possible via the likes of WU.

 

Just Weird.... ☺️ No need to be pedantic.

"He asked if it were possible and my answer was that it is, utilising a method wherein an authorisation code is utilised. What Bangkok Bank offers is a Cardless cash withdrawal".

You would be right if not for the fact that the BBL transfer service is not a "Cardless Cash Withdrawal" as that is not a service offered yet.  But, if it was, by extension using your logic, a SWIFT transfer, for example, would also be a cardless cash withdrawal, and it's not.

Pedanticism doesn't enter into it.
