| ![]() Lets agree to disagree SourabhZen ... I do get sever sunburns in highway drives and need to drive with newspapers stuck up on the windows. If you never faced this in last 18 years more power to you and you can continue to enjoy sunfilm free era and protest against any reversal if ever it happens ![]() I strongly feel that this sunfilm verdict is blessing of an era of non-governance where judges thought themselves to be blessed with omniscience and steeped in to fill governance void. Thankfully SC judges did not see this correlation chart between drop in murders and reduced internet explorer market share else they could have come-up with formula to reduce murders. http://gizmodo.com/5977989/internet-...te-chart-today ![]() |

The chart is indeed worth sharing and I will share it with my friends on other forums. ![]() Times have indeed changed and I guess we can not make comments on those changes here. | |

| ![]() Folks - I have been using the laser shades produced by NSV for quite some time on my City and Innova and they are perfect and durable. It is washable, prevents the UV rays to quite a great extent and is totally street legal. The reason I say "street legal" is because I was stopped by cops in Bangalore quite a few times and the moment they realized it's a blind/curtain (plug & play), they let me off with an apology. Downsides: 1. Only available for specific cars - Honda, Toyota...others are WIP for them - they are custom made; 2. Quite expensive (12K to 16K depending on the size and number of windows to cover). Upside - They age really well and provide good sun protection and privacy... I would recommend all to go for these laser shades. |

| ![]() Tried experimenting with a deal @ Groupon - Crab Magnetic Sun Shades. For 1399/- got a set of 4 shades for my Rapid. Please note that they have the deal for a Vento (not a Rapid); but essentially the right one. Used it for a day but just soo impressed with the product. Its not a perfect fit; there will be gaps and bulges in the frame but it HANGS onto the metal frame of the window and does cut down the sun factor. Sharing images from the web - will post my pix over the weekend. ![]() ![]() |

The thread is on LEGAL alternatives to sun films to protect people from UV rays, and there is no 'ground breaking technology' existing for that purpose, as far as I know. | |

Toll gates and parking lots- you need to remove the shade or open the door to pay money once a copy in GGN stopped me and refused to agree that these are not in violation of MV Act. It was only after i told him i am a lawyer did he relent. | |

Fil a PIL (Public Interest Litigation) in the Supreme Court if you really want to protest against the current ruling. Last edited by GTO : 24th October 2014 at 16:23. Reason: Merging back to back posts | |

I will protest if there is some logical data against the ruling. I have written enough posts clarifying my stand on this issue and I do not want to take it forward now. However, if you have some logical data against the ruling and you decide to file a PIL, I will support your cause. Last edited by sourabhzen : 16th October 2014 at 20:21. | |

Though I have now found an alternative for the Jaguar XF, if I buy it. I think they offer rear side window sun-blinds as accessory. The rear window already has electric sun-blind as standard. | |

| ![]() The SC judgement is ridiculous. I don't get the intention behind such a judgement. How does the removal of sun films help in reducing crime? Instead they should have asked the traffic cops to check the transparency of the sun film & remove them only if they are outside the permissible limit just like they check for drunken driving with a breath analyzer. Simply telling that nothing except the glass is permitted is senseless. Going by same logic, why doesn't SC ban car glasses altogether? You see, glasses can be a major obstruction for police in catching criminals. If there are no glasses, the police can easily chase the car (running or in jeep), put their hand inside the window (dangling if the car is in motion) & catch hold of the criminal (his neck,hair,ears,etc) and win a gallantry medal for themselves!
