EASIEST Way to Tint a Windshield! I WISH I LEARNED THIS FIRST!

Special thanks to the channel supporters!



Here at Sun Distributing, we believe that the supplier of the window film should know every aspect of the business. It makes it hard when a tinter or tint shop needs support but their supplier does not know the business from one end to the other. I started as a tinter helper in 1989 and worked my way up to the point of distribution. Along the way I have put together a successful retail tint shop and know every hurdle that a tinter and/or shop owner could face. I believe that there is an extreme value to having a company with our experience in the industry having your back.

There are many helpful apps and tools available, but most software out there are not designed to tackle the specific workflow and challenges that present themselves to tinters. Tint Wiz is a CRM app designed specifically for window tint companies. Book appointments, create proposals, send invoices, schedule jobs, manage tasks, and more.


Glass Aid is a 10 mil thick protective cut resistant strip that is meant to protect the glass from your knife. It’s white color make it easy to see through even the darkest of films. It’s flexible construction allows it to easily be formed around corners and it is heat resistant so it won’t melt during shrinking. Glass Aid is also designed to remove cleanly so you don’t have to worry about leaving adhesive behind when you remove it. This product is perfect for beginners and pros alike!

You are the first guy to explain the reverse rolling and show us slowly and clearly how it actually works instead of doing it quickly like some other guys do and we just can’t comprehend how it works. You made it very easy to understand. Thank you!

This is a PHENOMENAL tutorial. I came here looking for a way to stop squinting while driving, and you’ve made me a tint nerd in an instant.

I've used the cali roll for 20+ years. 1 more thing is to tape the headliner to keep fibers and contamination out. You touched the driver side headliner with the exposed film and sure you have a bit of contamination there. I always tape up 4 inches or so of the headliner to keep it clean as possible. Good video!

Dudes got magic fingers I for the life of me struggle to get the liner off but this video is worth gold so great job

That's CALLED THE CALIFORNIA ROLL.... we've been doing this for years here in CALI, it's a hell of an efficient way to tint the FRONT WINDOW being as it's a large piece tint. Another tip is before laying the tint onto the window before shrinking, lightly wet a "dryer sheet" and wipe the window down with it and it'll cut down on the static when removing the shrunk piece of tint that's ready to go onto the interior window. Works everytime.👌😉

I've tinted for almost 6 years (mobile).. and me and you share so many of the same techniques.. if your like me tint changed my life!
Love your videos

Amazing how many people respond without proper knowledge. Windshield tint is illegal if it's the full windshield and not just to the AS1 lines; correct. However IF you have certain medical conditions with your eyes you can get a prescription/notice of windshield tint from your doctor that allows this. Also, depnding on the transparency of the tint for those that believe it makes it harder to see, alot of windshields are tinted with 55%-70% film, which inherently is basically as clear as the windshield is normally. It actually makes it easier to see by reducing glare. Yes, it becomes SLIGHTLY darker, but at those percentages, if you can't see properly through it you probably shouldn't be on the road to begin with. I do not advocate getting windshield tint but I've been tinting for 16 years and in places that are 90-100 degree summers MAN does it make a difference in heat transfer.

Thank you for tutorial/ tips on shrinking a front windshield and how to reverse roll it.

Watching this made me have more confidence to try and tackle tinting my front windshield myself. Been putting it off for soo long and its almost summer time in Arizona.

[TRIPPANDA]

And I’m sure that nice set up you have with the spray hose helps A LOT

[comingtofull-ageinchrist]

thanks for sharing this one. You made some excellent points about the bottom middle and the top corners that will help me learning to shrink the windshield! Thanks again, Matt. I enjoyed the live stream earlier. Watching you do the tinting helps it stick with me. I've really been paying attention to the techniques you use on the door windows. Great video and I look forward to the next live stream.

You make it look a lot easier than it really is

love a tinted winshield. used to rock a 35 before. stepped it down to 20 in recent years. technology has made winshield tint an even more of a headache, especially subaru with their eyesight.

The white Tape (Glass Aid) used in the video is a US Product and it is not stocked outside of the US

The alternative tape is called Finishing line knifeless tape which is readily available in Europe and various companies make it like 3M

For those who aren’t aware, I just found out that in Tennessee it’s illegal to tint your windshield. Been driving my car for eleven years like that and was stopped by a sheriff’s deputy this past Wednesday who told me that. Kind of pissed me off. I’ve been stopped for tint before and NO mention of the windshield. When I was stopped for it years ago the officer whipped out his tint card placed it to my drivers side window and told me it was below the legal limit and let me go. This recent one told me I’d be stopped over and over again and fined! I’ve seen many trucks and cars with darker tint than mine!

gonna do my 2015 fusion need it badly. tired of the lack of tint lol. your vod. and other vods are helping me, I am a jackass of all trades, master of nothing, so re learning stuff like this is great.

[alfredodominguez]

I can do back windows like a champ with reverse roll but doing my first windshield in a few weeks. Taking a stab at it anyway. Looks the same just more material to shrink

[jremeee]

🔥🔥🔥 My favorite tint video guy! Wanna be like you when I grow up!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[comingtofull-ageinchrist]

I noticed the first time I picked up a roll of film, that it had a tendency to telescope and made it very hard to handle, especially when tossing one end of the film to the opposite side of the windshield!

[ttopconway]
