^ +1 to that. Just yesterday, a cop took my XUV aside at the Pizzahut junction in Powai and was visibly checking if I have sunfilm installed. When he realized that I don't, he waved me off. |

I would strongly advise you against going for Vkool Films now. The Sun film ban is here for stay now and you can expect police drills to check them every now and then. And to see such a huge amount of money go down the drain is unbearable. I skip a beat everytime I see a checkpost or cops flagging down cars for whatever reason thinking that today they will surely remove the films. I wouldn't advise investing so much money on films. If at all then go for VK 70 on all windows since its difficult to spot by the cops. |

As of now the law says zero tint for any vehicles, except for security reasons and then with a police certificate. If the question was keep existing tint on and gamble that you won't get caught, then I might have said yes. I did that till a few weeks ago when I pulled it off because I started using the car during the day. Before it was night use only and I didn't mind the risk. Even worse, you are talking about a large amount. If it was say one or two thousand, it might have been worthwhile. Not for 20k |

other option is I can just get the front windshield done with vk-70 as the driver and front passenger face the maximum heat because of the big front windshield. |

I was about to suggest you the same thing. Get Vk 70 on both front and if you want rear glass. That should take care of most of the heat. No point in spending too much on films in the present scenario. |

Why dont you try the window curtains. It might help to a certain extent. i heard they are available at Reliance Auto Mart. and i dont think that would an issue with the cops as well. Just my opinion. |

what kinda of curtains? are you talking about the regular cloth curtains or something like that? as that would really look very odd and don't think I can get them installed. only the front windshield is required in XUV. rear doesn't make sense as the 3rd row will be empty most of the times and it will be folded down only. |

There can be a chance where you are stopped as they would also be aware of such films that are transparent and block the heat and if they go by the rule book they will tear those off as well. |

Well to be honest I don't think that will happen although it is possible theoretically. Cops check for side windows most of the times and if they are transparent they wouldn't go ahead and check your windscreen particularly. |
