February 17, 201016 yr I have a new Toyota Yaris but it came with very dark screen tint all round and I just cannot see well enough at night. How much should it cost to replace? and would you put film on the windscreen? as I am sure this is illegal in the U.K.
February 17, 201016 yr Author That would be reasonable but my wife was told about 10,000 baht or 20,000 baht for an almost clear expensive brand.
February 17, 201016 yr Get Toyota to put it right. I chose the tint I wanted on my wife's car and they put a completely different darker one on, could hardly see out in daytime, never mind night. Told them to change it. So they put another wrong one on. So had to change it again. But if they put on the one you chose then see if they'll replace it anyway, the dealer is usually cheaper than the roadside shops.
February 17, 201016 yr Spend a little extra money to get a good brand, I recently did my Camry with Lamina film, cool inside, enough tint to make it hard to see into the car, yet enough light passes through so night driving no problems at all. Tip: If you decide to use Lamina Film, make sure the shop cuts the film in the same direction off the role as the film has a visible code number embeded in it and if the shop tries to save money, the film will look shit house with the embeded code at different levels and orientations inside the vehicle. Cost - Camry 5500B including removal of old film. My other topic on the subject. Here.

I find Lamina to be the best film too. 60% and windshield only top 10-20 cm. actually the code can be removed after installation with a liquid supplied by Lamina. havent smelled it, so dont know if its alcohol/ethanol, thinner or petroleum based
February 17, 201016 yr 3m film all round on my old 4 door lancer cost 1800bht at the Mall in Korat. Went shopping while I waited. 3 hours and don't open the windows for a week. Brilliant Job. And anyone in Korat will tell you, if its 1800b at the mall. You can get it cheaper elsewhere...
February 17, 201016 yr I'm fairly tall and couldn't see through the dark strip at the top of the windscreen at night, so I peeled it off. Don't they all peel off? Come to think of it, the side windows are different - sprayed on and non-removable.

I thought the 'code' and branding was left on there simply to prove that it was the brand you bought and they didnt substitute a cheaper brand.. And that you wiped it off with the solvent ??

Thanx KBB & LLOS, learn something every day. I'll go back to the shop that fitted it and get them to wipe it off.
