Window tint?

Trying to decide if I want to tint my windows. Sometimes I see a vertical line about 3/4 " going up my door windows. Will this scratch the tint over time?

Any of you have pics of light or medium tint on arctic silver?

I have a picture of my Arctic silver with 30% ceramic tint but I forgot how to post a picture. Look into the ceramic product. It reflects more heat than others on the market. Don't know about your scratch

I like the tint. Had mine done about a year ago and no problems at all. Don't have silver, but here is mine.

Here is arctic silver with a tint, on cloudy day. Don't know brand of tint. car looks good on outside, but it definitely noticeably dark inside. My car was a FL car for few years, where tint was put on I believe.

The streaking line is a known problem because of the felt pads for window engagement. It will not effect the tint...use Stoners window cleaner.

I just had mine tinted....used a 22% on the rear and the two small rear windows and a 37% on the front driver's and passenger's side to appease the law enforcement issues. I really like the way it goes with the midnight blue.....seems like it phases right in with the color scheme.
