Should I peel off my old window tint before my appointment?
Please leave it in place and send us photos first. Pulling film off can leave adhesive behind and complicate cleanup. We inspect the glass and film, use professional steam where appropriate, and clean remaining adhesive before replacement tint. Rear defroster lines need extra care, particularly when film or lines are old or damaged.
How much is windshield tint?
Full windshield tint starts at an additional $200 for standard film or $249 for ceramic when added to window tint. Standalone windshield tint is quoted by vehicle. An eyebrow or sun strip starts at $75. We review visibility, glass suitability and applicable requirements before confirming coverage.
Is ceramic tint better than regular tint?
Ceramic tint is designed to reject more heat without relying on a dark shade or metallic layer, making it a strong choice for comfort, clarity and modern vehicle electronics.
Does ceramic tint protect the interior?
It blocks ultraviolet energy that contributes to fading and deterioration of dashboards, leather, plastics and other interior materials.
Can you match my factory rear windows?
Yes. We can recommend a front-window shade that visually coordinates with factory privacy glass while adding ceramic heat and UV protection.
Do you tint windshields?
Yes. Clear or lightly shaded ceramic windshield film can reduce heat and glare while maintaining excellent visibility, subject to applicable Missouri law.
Does darker tint always reject more heat?
No. Visible light transmission describes how light or dark the film looks. Heat rejection also depends on film construction, so a lighter ceramic film can be a good choice when you want comfort with more visible light.
Do you tint sunroofs or add windshield sun strips?
Yes. We offer ceramic film for many sunroofs and windshield applications as well as eyebrow or sun-strip options, subject to the vehicle and applicable rules.
Does factory privacy glass replace ceramic tint?
Factory privacy glass darkens the glass, but its heat-rejection performance varies. Ceramic film can be added to compatible rear glass for additional comfort; we can also match the front windows visually.
Do you remove old or bubbling window tint?
Yes. We remove old, bubbling, peeling or discolored automotive film and can install new tint afterward. Removal pricing depends on the windows, adhesive, film condition and rear defroster; send photos for a vehicle-specific quote.
What does the tint percentage mean?
The percentage is visible light transmission, or VLT. It describes how much visible light passes through the film. A lower percentage appears darker, but darkness alone does not tell you how much heat the film rejects.
What is the difference between high-performance and ceramic film?
Both are options from Global Window Films. Ceramic film is especially useful when you want strong heat rejection with a lighter appearance. We can compare current film choices and shades for your vehicle during your quote.
Is window tint legal in Missouri?
Tint rules depend on which glass is being covered and the vehicle. We review the applicable requirements and your desired shade before installation; the final choice must comply with current law.
