This morning I got a dire warning from a window tint shop. He said the late 1980's and early 1990's Land Cruiser windows came with a factory installed "clear" film that gets destroyed when you subsequently try to strip off aftermarket tint with a razor. He said his brother found this out 15 years ago and it cost his shop $3000 to replace all the glass with new...obviously a memory not soon forgotten.
Does anyone have experience stripping and re-tinting the windows in their FJ62? Any truth to this story?
My current tint is not really opaque...the shop thinks it is somewhere between a "20-30". The cargo windows have a slight metallic finish, but even though the passenger windows have a different tint (basic black I think) there isn't a huge contrast between the tint front to back. I like the look which gives some tint while still maintaining the original look. Any recommendations for a tint that will achieve that look?
