Menace89 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Anyone think this stuff would work for your car windows to help protect from some thieves? Its the hurricane window protectant film, you just put it on like regular window tint I believe. http://products3.3m.com/catalog/ww/en001/s...ler/output_html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talentfinder36 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Residental window tint won't work, Llumar actually makes a security tint like that.

kingsuv Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Yes you can use Security films on side windows. I few things to consider. 1 The thicker the film, the stronger it is. a 4mm film isn't going to give you the protection you think it will. a 20mm film will but can be very heavy on the window motors. 2 for it to properly work, you must secure around all the edges, the film need to be in a channel grove to hold in place. The bottom of most car windows don't have a track across the bottom. It will be something you need to add. When you add the channel, you will need a high strength glue to adhere the film to that track. 3 it's not an end all to smashed windows, it will slow them down, but if you continue to push on the window it will eventually come out. 4 if you have a car that locks you in and won't let you out without using the lock button. ( some cars you can't just pull the handle to get out) keep in mind, if your in an accident and need to get out of a car and can't unlock the doors that you will need to work harder to get out with the film. Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsuv Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Is there a site I can buy the llumar film from and have a window tint shop put it on? cuz the only dealer is 3 hours away...and I dont wanna drive that far to get it Most shops either have or can order the film. Shops also order tint from LLumar, Solar guard, ETC. Another place you can get it from is a commercial glass shop. They use it all the time. As much as I love to do things myself on my car. I think it is best to leave window tint/film to the pros. I've done a few windows here and there and there is nothing worse then looking at your own arm hair in the tint Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

talentfinder36 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Yeah king suv is right window tint is normally not sold to the public but only through authorized dealers and shops. You can get pre cut and some uncut tint on ebay thought. I think it is from llumar look up seller: xtremecity (i think) Mark 99 Eclipse Spyder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
