I have STEK dynoflex installed on my Model X. Needed two pieces due to the size of windshield. Happy with the installation. As recommended replaced OEM wipers with silicon wipers. Everything is fine until driving into the sun. The wiper scratches after 6-8 months is driving me crazy and has me questioning my rationale for installing. Some days I feel like just biting the bullet and pulling it off. Its supposed to have self healing properties . I am as picky as they come and my car is garage kept and totally covered in ppf. But I can't stop the build up of scratches nor have had much success using heat or hot water to diminish. While I appreciate the film offers some level of protection. I can't just drive on cloudy days.
Did you try heat gun or blow dryer?
@@TizzleT Yes to both. And boiling water as well. Its the clear coat on the film that scratches and is not so called self healing.
That’s a bugger. I would just pull it off and have the natural glass.
FYI, if you have a front license plate or vanity plate raise it up in the middle as much as possible (this plate) alone will detour nearly anything coming into the glass, secondly, use a glass glaze or was solution which acts as a barrier to most objects and causes it to repel away without damage. This has worked for me in the last forty years not one scratch-YES:) Now just drive an extra two or three car spaces away when driving over 50 MPH which any unknown road objects should miss your vehicle.
Sir you are excellent on explaining a "how to" video!
I’m an Installer for TTM, I was waiting for a video like this to come out thank you. Saw it on Instagram and got curious, then you made the video. Nice!
Im glad we could help! Thank you for your support
Does this film bead water at all?
Great video. I've been doing Vinyl applications on Vehicles for almost 20 years, have yet to do any tint or protective applications to windows. (Besides One-way window film.) This video raised my confidence that I could do it pretty easily. Thanks.
Man you are the doctor of the films!!!keep up!
i am officially a self-declared scholar from the university of CZcams, thank you ;)
Just a tip. If you don't have the tool to pop windshield wipers we just zip tie them pulled out and it works just fine.
Your ability is amazing. You should be proud of yourself for mastering this task. I’m not convinced on the product itself though, putting PPF on the front windshield. Anyway it’s illegal in my country to put any film on the front windshield so that’s the end of that.
Glad I waited until the very end. I was wondering why you didn’t just crank the cabin heat.
One of my best selling products
What's an average cost for the customer for one of these? Ballpark small SUV
@@johngatsby1473 in CA, it would be around $700.00-1,000.
How am i supposed to scrape ice off my windshield?
How does this handle conditions where you have to scrape the frost or ice off the windows.
Why not use a liquid de-icer, like a decent human being in 2022?
@@MosesTV000 you can't always do that when you get up in the morning and the ice is 1/4 inch thick and you have to go to work
I wonder how it would be with polarized sunglasses. I had PPF on the hood that looked like air pockets and oil slick with my red Oakley polarized sunglasses but other than that i wish i knew about using it on the windshield as it gets really abused. Amazing video!
Not a problem at all.
Helluva job! I'm sure you guys could use a shower curtain and make it look good. :)
I'm not really sold on this exterior job, and can almost see it peel off in about a month. Maybe I'm wrong. Its probably best in hot climates. Here in the Northeast I dont think it will hold for any extended period. Stil, great install considering the tough material and install conditions.
Why would it peel off?
Great job on your walk through & the job. I would love to talk to you on learning how to do it & add to my business. But keep up the great work my man.
Great video, do you recommend changing the wiper blades out to silicone ??
It is a good idea to make sure you have fresh blades. Silicone are a plus
Thanks for another great video! Do you have any videos on how you install side window security/safety film? Thanks for all of your videos!
Are you seeing any issues where the windshield wipers are damaging the film?
Of course they are
Exactly this is my main thought and potential concern.
How does the film hold up when dirt and grime are on it and you turn on the wiper blades? Does it leave scratches and stuff?
What is the thickness in micron of this film and what is the purpose of it? Also doesn't the wipers scratch the film over time?
I wanted to get this installed at my local tint shop and they said it's for preventing rock chips on your windshield and yes the wipers scratch the film like crazy. Lasts only a few months and you should only install it if you're planning to track your car so the film is more of a one time use. Plus, its really expensive.
I have had this film on my Tesla since it came out and it is barely scratched from wipers. Its an excellent material to alleviate pitting and chips in your vehicles windshield
@@purplemonkeys11 obviously you use your wipers when the slightest drop of rain hits-let the screen get wet first. Secondly, you don't wash your car often or keep wiper blades in good condition. I can imagine you driving down the road with the classic windscreen wiper pattern of dirt around the edge of the screen. I've fitted some here in Australia and both cars still look like new after 3yrs-20,000km on one and 15,000km on the other so I'd say it's the way you treated it,not the product.
@@DekGT5mad just passing on what my tint shop told me.
Squeegee method caused those fingers at the corners.. why would u pull tension to the corners ? That’s why u had fingers on all sides vs just the top and/or bottom ..
Great tutorial ... thanks for sharing 👊🏽
Teslas are metric which is why your 5/8 socket has some play; it's probably a 15mm.
i have noticed you always have a nice polo on and so do your employees. I seen you said you use that OGIO brand is there a particular website that you are ordering them from with your logo? It look super sharp and professional. Also are those collar shirts like a drifit material or are they cotton.
I’m curious how this would fair with wiper blades if they start wearing out. How about ice scrappers and automatic car washes? Anyone?
Thanks for the vid. What’s the average life on these film? Replacement every 2-3 years? Asking from SoCal area. Thank you
Excellent video!
It is pretty much impossible sale in Florida, since we are NO FAULT STATE. Meaning windshields get replaced free if there is a problem with it. Insurance pays. Good job though.
a steamer would help to lubricate and heat the qrinle problem. it safer than a heat gun. thats how we like to do it at least
Do we need to change wiper from rubber to silicon to keep this film safe ...
How long does this last with wiper use?
How can I clean hard water spots off wo destroying the film?
What does this generally cost to have installed say on a Model Y
Tell me more about this tint wis
So why would I want to put what is essentially window tint on the outside? Wipers are going to damage it. First time it snows the ice will rip it all to hell when you turn the wipers on
Is the film not hydrophobic or can you apply a coating to make the surface repel water to mimeses the use of wipers?
Thoughts on using a tack solution to help flush out and try to stick down those edges/fingers quicker?
It could cause distortion. You could use just warm distilled without soap to flush out.
For ppf film such as this you can use alcohol and water solution to stick it. Makes the glue adhere almost instantly. Been installing ppf for a long time this has been the solution I've used for years
Ya the distilled water makes those stubborn fingers stick nicely. I like to do a rough trim fist before squeezing, that way there’s no tension by the edges then final trim after. I put more slip to give me more time to do my first trim.
Oh and Sean, this has to be one of the best smelling films on the market! 🍒🤣lol
Thanks so much for the video👍 what's the warranty on the product/ scratches
I heard that over time- using the wipers causes streaks in the film…?
Glass has a Moh`s scale hardness of 5.5.My concern is what is the hardness or abrasion resistance of the DynoFlex? How does t resist the windshield wipers constant abrasion?
So no shrinking like clear plex from madico .
Excelente trabajo!
Para que sirve ese film?
how will this not get sratched when a spec of dirt get on the wiper blade.
thank you
Hello, please where do you buy it more than 1 meters? I see only 0.5 m large on aliexpress. Thanks
I am trying to find an installer in New Hampshire or Boston area but not having any luck.
Man i job this glass clearplex!
Do they have ceramic windshield protection?
How much would this installation be on a 2006 Crown Victoria
Hi I need the Dynoflex windshield film for my C8 2022 , where can I buy one . Info please thanks
Can u do this for the ford maverick 2022?
had a installer do the wind shield and it showed heavy distortion lines across it look as if the material never fully dried even after 3 weeks. Had them remove it due to stressing out my vision when driving.
That's the installers fault, not the film
@@DekGT5mad probably but majority of the installs alot of people mention slight distortions due to the windshield so it's not just me
Is it okay to install a tint for the windshield to block IR. the dynoflex has 99% UV but Not sure with IR....
Can you still scrape ice off with this film on?
How much is a complete windshield protection install? I also called a Tint shop here in NorCal and he told me they stopped making the windshield protection film , is that true? TIA
Is that film able to shrink via heat gun like with tint?
put on climate in the car so the windshield is warm..
On fire !!!
What about using a ice scrapper on it in the winter time?
That would damage it but ice is less likely to stick to the STEK
Nice job!
What size is your roll? My WPF guy only has a 40-inch roll so I was wondering if that fully covers top to bottom. He said if it doesn’t, I’m gonna have a line at the bottom of my windshield cause of the 2 separate films 😕
Yeah I did not do paint protection on my windshield because if it gets a crack or a chip the window cost less than the paint protection. So what’s the purpose?
Model 3 front windshield is ~$1300 to replace.
@@alexavang77
Dang! Who can afford that, maybe it is cheaper to to the paint protection.
Are you guys located in NY ? i need to do that in my plaid this spring time
Yes. Search us on google. ShineTek Auto Spa
@@WindowTintWarriors How much to do the windshield Stek
What if the windshield has some chips? Do you fill them with resin or just install film over them?
film over
Is this a DIY project for the regular schmoe?
No it is not. To be installed by a trained professional
Are they submitting their lead through tint wiz? Or are they coming through your website, etc? Thanks for the content
Is this product really worth it. I have a 2014 mustang gt. Turning it into a show car. My car will have ceramic coating.
Yes! I had STEK placed on the windshield immediately on delivery of my 2022 BMW G82 M4 Comp in Los Angeles. I also added Xpel/PPF on the body of the car
I sell STEK Film. When i quote the job i research what a replacement costs first. So say a car windshield replacement is $450 im not going to recommend a $750 film.
Majority newer cars yes 100% as that’s a few thousand Bc they need calibration so $750 film is most definitely worth having.
It make no sense to install it on the outside where it can easily damage by wiper and scrapper
Well. It would make even less sense to install it on the inside seeing that it is “Windshield Protection Film”
Так изначально ты натяжку не дал вот она и не садится как положено,

Where are you located?
What brand are your shirts?
OGIO
Ya kinda gotta get windshield protection film.....I had a Kia Niro 2017...window broke..700.00 and now my daughter's 2011 Honda CrZ....700 dollars. Wtf is going on.
wish i did this on my tesla. I just cracked my glass the other day
It would have still cracked even with this film on it.
here cause my rover window just got blasted by a rock and the cost is $2800
At least its cheaper then a windscreen
People sure do waste money
I see Tesla at least copied Toyota on windshield stuff.
Do u have a location on Long Island
Where and name and tel number
Hello, Yes. - ShineTek Auto Spa, Medford NY
It's all good til an police pulls u over n gives u an fine. Dude, in what state do they allow u to have tint on ur front windshield??? Not DOT approved. Some states don't even allow u to ting driver n front windows. Good luck on that fine
This is a clear windshield protection film that goes on the outside, not window tint 🤦🏽♂️
You got make way too much money with less work than a regular mechanic.
Excelente trabajo!
Para que sirve ese film?
Protección para evitar cracks por piedras etc
