Hmm good point. Still seems like some kind of transition is happening

I mentioned the fix for the window roll down when you open the door.. and the tint guy said he'd rather not do it, even though I told him the Subaru window shuts fine with the window up.

He had a customer who removed the relay for his windows.. slammed the door.. and "BOOM!" shattered the glass.

I would cry

I've never heard of transitioning window film..

When I tinted my car, they took my door panels apart and tinted to the end of the glass and heated the edges nicely before letting me drive off.

Nothing except back it out of garage so I could spend 5 hours cleaning the interior of my wife's Tiguan. Holy crap that thing was disgusting...

I'm a full believer now. I'm used to tint looking crazy dark in cloudy weather, but mine almost got lighter. It looked really dark in direct sun light, and I'm used to the opposite.

Has anyone experienced similar?

That doesn't make sense - not at an optical point of view, anyway.
Transition lenses don't make use of a "film". It's the matrix of the lens that changes conformation - that's what enables the colour change in your transition lenses.

That doesn't sound right for our cars. I unplugged the door sensors when I had my windows done and drove like that for a week with no problems. The door made a much more satisfyingly solid sound when closing, but the lights were no longer auto-off since they couldn't tell that the door had been opened and closed.

Today I gave my girl a bath.

Dang I didn't know that, thanks

Guess it's all just in my head.
