Small world Tom, I have used Solartint in Brooke for my past 10 cars including my Kona EV that you reviewed 5 years ago. Ben and Nick are fantastic.
Absolutely! They’ll really look after you and your car 👍
My son bought a ‘99 Nissan Silvia which had a tinted windscreen. It was a factory option in Japan. Unfortunately to be registered in Queensland he was told he had to replace it. He was devastated when they broke it trying to remove it. The front windows and windscreen were very dark. Even though the privacy glass has some protection, tinting certainly helps almost eliminate the uv. At least your kids, pets and fabric are going to be protected so well worth it.
Sorry to hear about the tinted windscreen in … I feel his pain 😔
What he said there 1:55 isn't true. The back privacy glass is UV and IR rated 91.4%UV, 89.8%IR protection machine measured. You've seen this with my Facebook post Tom when you asked for reference few months back. Not sure why you didn't correct him on this.
I'm pretty sure I saw someone on Facebook (it might have been you) who posted a photo of the privacy glass being tested to demonstrate exactly this point.
@@jonpaxman That was me. I went to a highly recommended tint shop in Melb and was surprised when the tint shop owner told me i didn't really need to tint the back so i shared the reading with the community. People where getting ripped with dodgy tint shops recommending them to tint the glass roof as well.
I recall your post from FB but I must admit at the time of filming, I thought the UV/IR protection from your pic was in reference to the front windows hence why I didn’t question the rears (my error). Also Nick has been in the game a long time so I defer to his opinion … perhaps not all Seals have the same glass spec either? 🤔
Addit: Also I wonder also if Nick wanted the rears’ UV/IR to be closer to 99% rather than factory spec as measured in your post? Will have to seek clarification
@@LudicrousFeed humm ok. i did specifically mention the back privacy glass and nothing about the front in my FB post. As per the time stamp 1:55 he did clearly say it's got no UV/IR on the privacy glass. Maybe he just assumed it's got 0 protection.
Hi bro, I am from Indonesia and my BYD Seal is coming next month. So, I don't need to tint the roof glass? I am planning to tint it so it can block out heat and UV much better because it's super hot here.. What do you think?
Looks like a great job. I am in two minds over tinting though. I really do not like the idea of a glass tint to the driver or passengers windows for safety reasons. I never have done and I never will. I ascribe to the markets that prohibited this from being installed. What I do like is reducing IR and UV, and if it’s possible to cut these using clear tint, then I might be persuaded. The idea that a tint can effectively reduce heat gain though is problematic IMO. Thermal mass could overcome any coated thickness and re-radiate heat in line with the laws of thermodynamics. Yes, there is reflection of heat but there is also absorption/conduction, and I believe it is key.
I have added in the extra tinting to my premium BYD seal as an added option from BYD. Did you do this when purchasing yours? As i was hoping this upgrade woyld bring the front glass up to par with the backs protection.
Thanks
As mentioned in the video, I didn’t add any tinting options prior to delivery
Did they tint the far back rear window at all (for IR/UV protection), or just the 4 door windows?
Just the 4 windows on this occasion
I'm having to wait another month but finally advised coming soon🤞. Will make a decision after a couple of months in summer.😅
Yup the IR heat rejection will help protect your rear passengers and theoretically help with efficiency 🙏
When did you order your byd?
@@G1gityG1gityG00
Early Dec23 with expected delivery for Jan/Feb24. So about peeved.
Can be redeemed if I can collect by the 7th. Otherwise looking forward to late May🤞😐
@@kasmstamps1897 mines been sitting at the holding yard in Sydney for 2 weeks, getting a bit annoying.
@@G1gityG1gityG00 customs is not in BYD control (scary if they do).
Well although he mentions nothing on front there is clear film but you need to know who to get it from which helps with UV/IR penetration and is invisible unless your a tinting expert.
Which is probably why it’s outlawed in most states
Just wondering do U recommend put tint on model3 sunroof?
I recommend getting decent sunshades instead: Silver Coated Model Y Glass Roof Sunshade | Can it improve efficiency?

I put IR tint on back window and back half of roof (all one piece). Works well. Only need the sunshade on the front half of the roof now.
What’s up with the flickering? It’s really annoying
Yes apologies for that ... it's probably a setting in my camera
The LED lighting doesn't play well with cameras.
Setting camera shutter to 1/50 or 50 fps in Australia will match our 50hz power frequency. Most likely shooting at 60frames?
@@gs-xmastree7013 Just checked my camera … it has settings for 50Hz 60Hz and Auto. I had it on Auto for this footage so next time I’ll toggle between them to optimise the recording. I was shooting at 30fps
@@LudicrousFeed yeah, that would be it. 24 frames might minimise the flicker otherwise 50 frames would be the go.
I dont know why people don't tint their cars
Certainly can improve cabin insulation amongst other things
Some modern glass technology has inbuilt UV and IR blocking capabilities without affecting visual light much. Tint is extra cost and can get scratched up pretty easily.
