Ever since we got our Honda Odyssey, I’ve been wanting to get the windows tinted. There are two main reasons why I wanted to get the windows tinted: one, to have UV protection to reduce UV exposure from the sun, and two, match the front side windows to the rest of the car so there isn’t such a harsh transition in window tint between the front and side windows.

On my old 1993 Mazda MX-6, I inherited a terrible tint job that was done on the rear and side windows. The tint on the windows had a purple tint to it and it was beginning to bubble all around the borders. This type of failure is characteristic of a poorly done tint job or regular exposure to glass cleaner that has ammonia. I could not stand the look of it any longer, so I went about removing the tint.

I wanted to make sure my family and I were safe from the effects of UV rays that come from the sun.  I also wanted to reduce the amount of heat that entered the vehicles through the windows. Because of these reasons, I got my 4Runner windows tinted.
