Of course heat rejection and UV reduction isn't just a matter of tinting and here again there is a lot that the car makers can do and some do/many don't. But within the leeway provided by the legally allowed 70% limits, a lot can be done on both fronts. If more of us bought the cars of those that do, those that don't would also start doing. | |

| ![]() As all sunfilm is banned per SC order, I wonder how companies like 3M openly advertise and sell sunfilms like CR70 and others? The car care outlets claim CR70 is legal :-( Or am I missing something obvious? LINK Last edited by Rehaan : 13th March 2020 at 11:03.

| ![]() I got only the front windshield 'filmed' with the clearest one 3M had, on my Nexon. This offers 100% UV protection. I can't make out the difference at all. The front windshield lets in most UV, so I want this area covered. For the side windows I'll consider options in March/April if it becomes a problem. For now, I'm sorted. |

| ![]() Has anyone managed to find a magnetic shade for the Honda City (4th gen 2014 and later model) that fits within the inner frame of the windows? All the magnetic shade I've found so far sticks to the metal window frame and bangs against the pillar. It will eventually result the paint from the chipping away and corrosion/rust. A diagram may give a better idea. |

Have just put a small cello-tape at the point of contact and it works well for me. ![]() Although its funny that the sun film is not allowed and this alternative is because this actually blocks the view inside more than the films. Last edited by The Great : 20th December 2017 at 11:02. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() How about tint treatment for the door windows? Are there any good options available in India? It will be hard for police to identify if lighter treatments treatments are done. Even if they find it they will think it’s factory fitted as they only look for films in the glass. |

| ![]() Door windows are easiest to detect, if they are looking at all. Just lower a little, and look at the edge. They will know it is not factory fitted. In fact, "factory fitted," in this context, is not film: it is glass that is manufactured with a tint. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Sir I was not referring to films. I meant to ask if there are any other methods to get tint on plain glass just like the factory fitted ones where its manufactured like that. Like in YouTube I saw videos where people are using black tint spray on the glass as alternative to sun films. Is that a good option? How could police know if such tints (for eg. Spray) are factory fitted or not? Are such alternatives available in India? Thanks. |

BHPian | ![]() I am using the zippered magnetic sunshades on the city as well for the last 10 months. Serves the purpose very well and gives a nice black tinge from outside. I have been using on my Ritz as well for 3 years without any issues. I am using the Autopearl one from Amazon. Instead of cellotape using Bicycle anti scratch frame protector stickers from Aliexpress which I got for less than a dollar. ![]() These are really cool. I wish I had them as well.
