    Should we sell a DIY window tinting kit for Teslas?

    Did my own.. this guy is solid. You don’t have to remove moldings and weather stripping… you’re getting milked for hourly labor that’s unnecessary and the door will rattle and never be the same as new. Saved myself 500.00. 1500 to tint a tesla ? Guy was telling me he was a tint surgeon too… 500 just for rear windows… front windows are cheaper. I do my own PPF hand custom cut with exacto knife… on the car! ;)

    Great work! Could you also do a video of tinting the Model 3's rear window (1-piece)? I'm struggling with this the most as the glass is quite large and I can't seem to shrink it properly without any creases or burning the film. Thanks!

    • @tesbros
      @tesbros  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sure. I can add that to our video list. I've had my share of throwing away bunch of film :D but my tip is to go get a heat gun that doesn't over heat too much as you heat. What happens is that it may be too hot and it can end up creasing the film. The key is to go slow. The other tip is to make sure you do a "i" pattern or sideways "H" and then to make sure you split those fingers evenly. That will ensure that each side is easier to shrink. Hope that helps and practice makes perfect! Good luck!

    • @tesbros
      @tesbros  ปีที่แล้ว

      There’s enough space for me when I did it, but I use the triangle tool (like this: www.amazon.com/Zanch-Triangle-Installation-Application-Wallpaper/dp/B099FB3BRF) and a small squeegee. That way I can be more nimble.

    Once you are done tinting and about to drive the vehicle outside for visual inspection, how do you handle the windows? Since they are propped up and closing the door will cause damage

    • @tesbros
      @tesbros  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      After I'm done and visual inspecting, I heat it with a heat gun from the outside to activate and speed up the process. Then, I'll give it some extra time and then release the windows by pushing the button and it'll go back down. Then, I can close the doors and bring it outside. And for the customer I put a sticker indicating NOT to repeatedly bring the windows down for 3-5 days.

    Could you tint only the side windows using a standard non-ceramic tint, and leave the front and back windows untouched? Would this work and is it worth it?

    whats the best tint on the market currently? Some people say ceramic and some people say crystalline.

    • @tesbros
      @tesbros  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Both great options! Ceramic will typically be darker and easier to install (cheaper) than crystalline. Crystalline is known for being a really thin tint with a lighter shade, yet it still blocks the same amount of UV rays as other tints that are the same %. Some people put crystalline on their windshield for that reason. So, both great options. I would decide based on if you care about the privacy of a darker tint or cost. Here is 3M Crystalline specs: www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b00016683/ and 3M Ceramic specs: www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b5005118130/ that might help with comparison.

    Hey, could you give me the formula for the slip solution 😅. Thank you

    • @tesbros
      @tesbros  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, sorry for the late reply. It's not an exact formula. It's more about what you're comfortable working with, and how fast you are/how much experience you have. I would start with 5 drops of baby shampoo or dish soap (like 7th gen with no additives) in a one quart spray bottle. If the tint is sliding off the window, you'll know you have too much soap, and if the tint is sticking and not sliding enough, you need more soap. Eventually, you'll get the right amount for you. And remember that it can change slightly with temp and type of soap - even type of tint.

  • @eric2865

    Some Tesla employees have said they wouldnt tint the windshield because there is concern about messing up sensors on the windshield and/or a lot of electrical. Other employees have their windshields tinted and say its fine. What does TESBROS say! Because I really want to do it, but not if there are any drawbacks in the future

    • @tesbros
      @tesbros  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can tint it, but do your research and trust that installer first. Make sure they have plenty of experience working on Teslas, because there is concern about water getting into sensitive areas while tinting. This goes for the rear windshield too.

    • @tesbros
      @tesbros  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Open the door and use a screw driver to push in the latch, tricking it into thinking it's closed. You'll know it worked if the window rolled up. Be careful with your windows like this! If you try to close the door with it tricked, the glass will hit the trim around the edge of the door and get scratched or worse.
