| Senior - BHPian | got a nice link, but hosted by an accessory shop based at cochin. http://www.georgeandsons.net/scf_gs.html i am thinking of getting garware for my santro. should be far better than local films right? and vkool and 3m would be more costly for me.

I've had Garware's Charcoal 35 installed in my old Omni as well as my current Indica. The Omni's sunfilm was intact (not a single scratch or bubble) after 3 1/2 years when I sold it. The Indica's sunfilm is also intact after 2 1/2 years now. For those in Chennai, I recommend Car Decor on Woods Road (off General Patters Road just after the MRF office). They do superb sunfilm installations.

The Omni cost the same amount in December 1999 (take into account inflation + more film required for the Omni - 2 extra windows at the rear)

| BHPian | If you want a VFM sunscreen film for front windscreen.. you can try out Autografix sunfilm. I got it installed in my front windscreen for INR 1200. The sunfilm is metal based and uses the same principle as in 3M and Vkool. It's very good and am satisfied with it.

| Distinguished - BHPian ![]() | I'd fixed Llumar's metallised clear film on my front windscreen (Safari) and I've had a funny issue: the front windscreen mists up on the inside on rainy days even if all the windows are down. The windscreen becomes clear again only if you switch on the a/c...bloody irritating and I havent found this issue on other clear windscreens so far. Noticed this when I was in Bangalore as well (it was raining)...night driving with the windows down on a rainy day is out of the question as you simply cant see whats ahead. I've also had trouble with bubbles coming up on all my windows (only the ones which wind down..the rear windscreen and the third row of fixed glasses dont have the prblem). As it came with unconditional warranty I got the guy to come down and change all the window tints at no cost, but I wonder if this will pop up again. The chap had the cheek to blame the Asahi glass for it.

But Steeroid, as far as I know, this is a 'feature' of all Tata vehicles. - windshield gets misted up from the inside unless you turn the AC on. - windshield gets misted up from the outside -just above wipers- if you keep the AC on for a prolonged time. Both conditions happen when its raining or its a cold night. So IMO, Llumar is not a culprit in this issue... I have NO films installed in my car and the same thing happens. Correct me if I am wrong. | |

PS: I didnt have the windows misting inside problem before I fixed Llumar. It happens if you have the windows up (normal with all vehicles) but with the windows down there were no problems.

I tried squeezing the film, when it didnt work I squeezed the dealer to change the film. Problem solved. PS: I dont have this issue with the Vkool and 3M films I have on my vehicles here. Its as humid (if not more) here too.

When you switch on the AC the temperature inside matches that of the outside and the problem disappears. In fact if the AC is set at very low temperature , then this fog will happen on the outside and even your wipers will not be able to clear it. It helps if you keep the all your windows rolled down by about quarter inch. When the later happens, its risky to drive on a brightly lit street.

Read my posts - I said it happens with all windows rolled down COMPLETELY. As for the rest, I am aware of it as I've been driving for a few years now.
