How well would this work on a tinted window? And/or would the window tint affect anything

The tint may contribute to received signal loss. In general it will not perform as good as a directly connected antenna via a RG58 cable. On a rear window with defroster wires it will effect the SWR and contribute to Transmitted signal loss.

My window is slight tinted (factory) and it did not affect it at all. Not sure if you go with a darker tint how it would affect its performance.

To be honest it didn't work well at all. I ended up taking it off. through the glass on cb didn't seem to work. It was on tinted but I thought I might try another one because I hate to cut holes or run through windows but not sure.

It didn't work well at all. I can't get a SWR meter reading that's acceptable. I knew this from other reviews but my wife was bitching that she didn't want to see a magnetic mount on vehicle. My mistake. ..on both!

I wouldn't recommend it. It's made for plastic lenses and such. Try calling a tint shop and getting them to install lifetime tint on them. This looks horrible on glass and pretty much any clear surface where spray pattern imperfections can be easily seen. Works well on signal lights and brake lights though.

I have tinted front side windows and the deflectors have been on for 2 years with no problems with the tint film

Window tinting is best applied on the inside of the windows. If applied to the outside, the weather would cause it to peel and come off. I applied it to the inside of the window and it works great!

It's pretty bright, but it depends on how tinted the glass is. Considering how expensive professional OPEN signs are, I'd say try it just in case it's good enough.

Hmmm, you may have some issues with it being darker if tinted windows but overall should work.

I can't say for certain. It would probably work fine in the back window, but it might not work on the side windows that roll up and down. The tint might jam up in the door and peel away. It's sort of thick and rubbery.

I never had any trouble with my vehicle tinted windows! However, as per directions, you should only use in your vehicle 20 minutes at a time.

My answer would be: No First, its dark and not fully "see through" with total clarity as tinted window since its a synthetic based fabric with tiny holes. Secondly, it needs a window with near horizontal top edge, which most front windows aren't. You "could" use it but the experience won't be great.

Hi, It is not a one way tint like they put on car. It does not create any privacy. Just dims the glass a slight bit. If you put it side by side with a window without you will notice a slight difference, otherwise you will eventually forget it is even there. Kinda of tricky (requires patience) to install but not too hard.

you need to go online and google the tint laws in mass, I got pulled over had dark tint and luckily the cop was friendly since I have 9 tinted windows on my SUV it would have been a lot of money - the fine that is. I do not recommend using the Gila films though, they are super cheap films. find a tint shop near you many are reasonable and are trained. so many people try to do their own car which is why you see bubbles and purple 3M crap - the Gila film is from Llumar but they have better quality the Gila is as basic a film as it gets

CAR WINDOWS ARE ALREADY COVERED IN A PLASTIC ANTI-SHATTER layer, so in theory it should work. I'm just not sure if it would leave a film or not, since less dense or less smooth plastics could leave air pockets (and thus blurriness) when applied. But if it's a hard, smooth, glass-like plastic I would give it a try (maybe apply just to a corner at first to test it?)

I have used this film but I applied it on top of 5% tint that was already installed.Honestly, I couldn't tell you if it'll look purple or not viewing it from inside the car but I highly doubt it. It's a dark film and the most it'll look like is a very dark blue but probably not. I would buy one box first to see how it turns out to your liking. Other than that, it's a great tint.

Per their website FAQs on if safe for window tints: "Yes, we have tested Invisible Glass safe for use on household and most automotive after-market window tints in good condition. We recommend testing a small area first."

It would probably work but it might be a bad idea just get a roll of window tint

I have only used maguires mirror glaze 17 clear plastic cleaner on my older soft top plastic window and it made a big difference. Totally worth having in my arsonal but I don't know about tint scratch. Good luck

It should. There are 3 semi-flexible plastic tabs that insert between the window & the weather stripping. I was at first worried that it might scratch the window tinting - but so far it hasn't. It might over time though... so I do insert those tabs carefully. Hope that helps.
