Optoms Neutral Newbie July 18, 2009 Share July 18, 2009 I was told that those PI cars that come with rear privacy glass will not need any solar firm cos may fail inspection test 3 yr later. The industry standard is only thefront three pcs. So my questions are do the privacy glass come with IRR rejection which is important to reduce the heat and also do all PI give only 3 pcs solar firmonly?Can anyone advise? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrosszero Turbocharged July 18, 2009 Share July 18, 2009 I believe IR rejecting film need not come with a tint that could push your factory standard tinted glass over the allowed limit. Tell them to give you the transparent solar film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoongf 4th Gear July 18, 2009 Share July 18, 2009 My Subaru JDM has factory installed rear tint. Could not tahan the heat so went to V-Cool. V-Cool tested and the tint was already 22% light transmission. Could not add any additional film cos I wanted LTA compliance. So I just did the 3 front panels. Tint is purely lowered light transmission. Does not have heat rejection properties that comes with film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Privacy glass for JDM does not have IRR rejection? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoongf 4th Gear July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 I have not come across any solar film that allows 99-100% light transmission. but I have to qualify that I only shortlist the major brands. Even those used in front windsreen.. is at 83% light transmission. http://solutions.3m.com.sg/wps/portal/3M/e...rfilm/techspec/ http://www.v-kool.com.sg/Get_V-KOOL.asp?cat=auto http://www.huperoptik.com/ProductsSafety&Security.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atrecord Supersonic July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 V-kool films mostly come with some light (UV) rejection, so if your windscreen is those type that comes tinted from factory fitting, chances are that v-kool films will not be possible to be used on top of it. there are however, other brands that gives (almost) clear light rejection, but has good IR (heat) rejection specs. these are the ones that are suitable for installing onto the factory-fitted tinted glass (which, btw, block only light but not heat). lots of the toyota wishes as far back as 2003/4 comes with 5 pcs rear tinted glass that have been installed with solar films that are LTA-compliant still. Since then, there were lots of other models (Honda Streams, airwave, etc.) that were similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgnick 1st Gear July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 (edited) The tint of those Toyota JDM glass is already just barely pass LTA test if they close one eye. The clearest clear film is 89%. So if you take tinted glass and fix another 89% film, end result will fail LTA test :) Edited July 20, 2009 by Sgnick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
