Re: Front windscreen sunfilm?

I was told by an installer that Arctic cool has a mirror finish. Is it true? I'm of the opinion that green shades look more OEM than others. Am I right?

No issues with night driving at all, with the Arctic Cool Shield.

No mirror finish here. Arctic Cool is just more of a greyish-blueish shade compared to the green of Ice Cool. I agree the green shade looks closer to OEM.

Shouldn't be an issue with these new films. I asked about this too, forgot to mention in my previous post. They anyway use a heat gun to shape it to the glass. Warranty for 7 years and they say it peels off cleanly.

Re: Front windscreen sunfilm?

Anyone thinking of getting sunfilms installed to beat the heat, Please do verify the total heat rejection provided by the installed films. The numbers are usually clearly mentioned in the outer packaging. My thought is that sunfilms should have a minimum of 40% heat rejection.

The heat rejection of Garware Icecool Elite installed on my car stands around 46%.
