If fogging is a big bother and you're unable to control - get RainX Fog Control (I heard rubbing tobacco helps as well). I was using it 2 years back. Ensure someone hand carries from abroad as most car care products sold here are fakes. As a user CR 70 on the front windscreen is a boon for me! Regarding glare from oncoming vehicles, the relief is very minimal as lights are really strong these days.

For starters, it is not legal to have any kind of film on windows or windscreens. And regulators expect to have at least 70% or 75% of light through the front windscreen (& front windows in most of EU).

Do not get mistaken here, this does not mean you can have tinting of 30% as windscreen without tinting do not let 100% of light and they only let 70% - 80% of light. So, any tinting is further reducing your vision and visibility to drive safe.

For night glaring etc. there are so many night vision coolers available and I use one when it's safe for me to do so (& if it doesn't rain). I can give pointers about the ones I use.

There are others on the road and your personal choice could impact other fellow road users. So, use caution and most of all do not go against regulations.

Live to Drive!

Is it inside or outside? (Sorry if you already said)

In my British driving years, misting was almost always on the inside, with warmer moister air compared to the cold outside. Here, it is the opposite, with the car interior cold, and the outside air hot and humid. At least we can use the wipers, but sometimes it is a serious viability issue. It would not happen if we let the car warm up, but, obviously we want the comfort of our AC!

I'm not at all trying to deny your experience: but mine is different.

If I was not scared of the legal issues, I would get the film fitted, as my wife often complains about the direct heat. Then I'd have to date experience to share. But, with prices now over 20k, I just daren't.

I take back the fogging/streaking issues. I got the car interior detailing done and then drove to Hyderbad from Chennai. It rained on the way and I didn’t experience any issues. It seemed like I just needed a really good clean.

[Thad E Ginathom]

Oh great! I usually realise that when wipers start to squeak/streak.

Glad you have a solution.

Will fixing/removing parking stickers etc damage the film? More concerned about the latter.

I am looking for sunfilms for my Polo GT TSI. A local shop in Pune quoted -

CR 70 windshield - Rs 7,000
RE 70 side and back - Rs 3,500
Total - Rs 10,500

I checked with the 3M store on Baner-Pashan link road and they quoted Rs 18,000 for the same. I am tempted to go with the local shop but want to be sure the film is original. Is there any way to ensure that?

When affixing a sticker, I apply a decent amount of talcum powder on the adhesive side, and also keep a small piece of cello tape like in this image. So one half of the cello-tape strip is on the inner side of the sticker, and the other half folded over to the outer /exposed side of the sticker.



So when I have to pull out the parking sticker, I can use this cello-tape and pull out the parking sticker

CR70 clear film which blocks UV and can be fixed on to the front windshield of the car, ought not to cost you more than 9000/- at 3M as per a quote I took from them about a week or ten days ago in BLR.
After taking that quote, I just had this done for my Dad’s Glanza car and I paid only Rs 6800/- at a place called Feynlab right near my house in BLR. I chose this on account of the price for equivalent quality, the main aim being 100% UV protection in the hot sunny summer and absolutely 100% clear visibility through the front windscreen.

How is the experience with Fastag and CR70/Ice cool/Artic cool sunfilms? Is there any issue with Fastag not working with any of these films? planning on getting one of these on my jazz before summer starts in Hyderabad

[Gansan]

My PayTM Fastag works well through the Garware Ice cool sun film of my car. I passed through multiple toll gates yesterday easily.

I have been using Fastag on CR70 for the past 2 years without any problems.

[iamahunter]

For the Ecosport, I got a quote of Rs 9450/- for CR70 for windscreen and Rs 5000/- for under body treatment(5 years) from a 3M dealer.

Read in the above quotes that the same can be applied at a much cheaper rate. Question being, how do I know if its original CR70 when I get it installed from some other dealer?

[aadyavinay]

Hi folks. I am planning to install 3M CR70 on my Tata Nexon for windshield alone. I do have Fastag stuck on the windshield so when I checked with the installer (who quoted 9k in Teynampet - Chennai), he said that it is not a problem to install over the Fastag and it will not have any issues in future like air bubbles coming around it. I know that once Fastag is removed, it will be damaged and I have to buy a new replacement one. I am not convinced with installing windshield sun film over the Fastag. Can someone shed some light on this. Is it fine to install it over the Fastag or should I remove it and get a new Fastag after installing the sun film. Also how safe is getting the sun film cut over the Fastag part alone? Did anyone had any issue by installing it over the Fastag or cutting the sun film over the Fastag area alone? I have it stuck on the upper left side of the windshield which was stuck by the dealer them self when I bought the car.
