That’s awesome. A convenient option is partial rolls of SolarGard from Metrorestyling.com. You can get a 40” by 10ft roll for less than $50. You will for sure be able to get the front two windows done with that and maybe even the entire truck depending on the glass configuration. I would stay away from the cheap films found at Walmart or auto parts stores. It’s a bit harder to work with and will likely fade to purple over time.
literally askd myself the samething, to why My GunMetal Grey Metallic 4th Gen 1500 CrewCab’s interior A/B/C Pillars, sun visors & Headliner are Beige(dirty), when the rest of all my interior is black? SMH..Which is why im gonna DIY 3M Spray wrap them all with a very soft black velvet suede like fabric I bought from Joann’s Fabric(w/ Bentley style fiberoptic shooting starlights in headliner & VIP curtains for all 5 windows ima Custom Sew myself)..but so far I have 2.5% on my two fronts & 5% on my stock dealership 35% back 3 windows. You can’t see in( & I’m in Cali, so it’s just a Fix-it-ticket). I put em right back up after the Officer is done signing the fix-it ticket when I was taking em off, in the same parking spot). I’m thinking of doing 20% on the windshield bc it’s too clear as day, & people are Nosey. WORD OF ADVICE: if you’re gonna do anything similar to this, make sure you’re driving a vehicle with Up-to-Date Registration, Valid Insurance, Valid License, You’re Off Probation aka “Off Paper”(meaning u have ur 4th Amendment back, so they can’t legally search ur ride w/ out probable cause)- but still keep anything illegal, all consolidated together in ONE compartment, out of sight for when u have to roll all ur windows down during a traffic stop…and don’t smoke weed in tha whip, bc that’s easily prob cause for PIGS in any state.

Hey! There are applications where a preshrink is necessary on side windows. I’ve also installed many truck and suv windows without the need to shrink first.
@@repairvehicle Ok. When I am tinting that application, I would not do a preshrink before installing with panels off since I post heat on the inside. However, there is no harm in doing so either if you feel more comfortable. Just be sure you lay the tint direction from the roll horizontal across the window, not up and down. Does that make sense or should I clarify better?
Hey, typical factory privacy glass does equate to about roughly 20% yes. In ND, there is no legal restriction behind the driver and passenger doors so it’s a common request to lay additional film over the rear glass to increase the privacy.
Good video BRO...
Appreciate it 🤘😎
After watching your vids, I'm thinking of tackling the tint on my work truck. Where do you suggest buying the tint from?

Why no heat shrinking on side windows?
Hey! There are applications where a preshrink is necessary on side windows. I’ve also installed many truck and suv windows without the need to shrink first.
@@TunersCanvas , what about 2018 Ram 3500 crew cab. Do I need to do preshrink on side windows?
@@repairvehicle Would your approach be to leave the door panel in place or remove to bottom load the tint first while installing?
@@TunersCanvas , I am going to remove door panels.
@@repairvehicle Ok. When I am tinting that application, I would not do a preshrink before installing with panels off since I post heat on the inside.

Where are you at in nodak??
Dickinson!
@@TunersCanvas hello from the east side of the state - love the content
@@johnd7201 Hey! Thanks 🤘😎
Weren't the back windows already at 20%?
Hey, typical factory privacy glass does equate to about roughly 20% yes. In ND, there is no legal restriction behind the driver and passenger doors so it’s a common request to lay additional film over the rear glass to increase the privacy.
What tint did you use for front and rear?
Hey. On this truck I placed 20% on the front doors and 5% on the rear doors / rear window using SunTek Standard Pro film.
