Ceramic windo tint and aplication questions.
Hi
Because of some suffering in the heat out west we decided to do something. We got a larger but more efficient A/C but could not get a second one because of the 30a wiring. Since I am completely rebuilding and resealing all of the windows I thought we would tint. The films block virtually no light but a large amount of heat so I got a roll of high end nano particle stuff. I have done several sets of headlight protection coverings with 8 mill sheeting so these should be really easy. I do have some questions though if there is anyone who has tinted. Yes I searched but did not find these. Mainly the question concerns coverage. In a car you need to leave a 16th inch space without film where the window rolls up into the top of the track. I plan to simply take the film all of the way to the edge on the non moving half just to make it easy and then put the rubber seal strips and gaskets over it but do I need to leave that 16th" edge where the window slides into the felt end? What about the sides (bottom and top) where it slides on the felt or will it slide under the felt like it does in a car window.
I'll let you know how it works when I am finished but if I am right I will see a reduction in heat while still being able to wake up and see the wild animals roaming about in the dawn light as my coffee maker kicks in.
Thanks
Rob
