Seattle Window Tinting
The normal window tint customer typically starts off with a few different questions. Like, what type of window tint should I get? What shade of window tint should I get? And, what windows on my vehicle should I tint? Although it mostly comes down to preference, here’s our thoughts. We typically recommend installing window tint on all windows of your vehicle to maximize the benefits. For the front windshield, we suggest a 70% VLT XPEL PRIME XR tint, which doesn’t limit your view but provides substantial infrared heat rejection and over 99% UV protection. Front side windows should be no darker than 30% to comply with legal regulations. For rear windows and sunroofs, you can choose darker tints down to 5% (commonly known as limo tint), but since 5% can make it difficult to see out at night, we recommend a 20% tint as a compromise that offers privacy without significantly hindering nighttime visibility.
Once you determine what windows you are tinting and the shade, it’s time to determine the type of film.

Window Tint Percentages
How window tint numbers work is the smaller the number the darker the film is. VLT stands for visual light transmission being the amount of light the film lets through when installed and is the standard name for the numbers used on the % scale. The lower the number the more infrared heat rejection the film offers up to a 88% heat rejection in the infrared spectrum.
- 80% – Virtually unnoticeable and see through
- 70% – Looks like a normal window and barely adds any shading
- 50% – Beginning to look a bit black but can still see in pretty easy
- 35% – starting to get difficult to see in the car especially on a rainy day
- 20% – Can generally only see in on certain angles on a sunny day
- 5% – Virtually can’t see into the car even in full sun

One of the other benefits of window tint is a cooler interior in your vehicle through a window tint installation by Seattle ClearBra. There will be a lessened need for the use of air conditioning while you’re in the vehicle or the precondition system being used far less.
This leads to less consumption of gas or electricity, giving you further mileage range on warm days as you won’t need to run the air conditioning as much, or for as long as someone who opted not to go with the Xpel PRIME XR infrared UV rejecting films on their vehicle.
Be sure you consider combining the window tint service with a Seattle paint protection film installation since this will keep the exterior of your vehicle rock chip free and looking it’s best over your ownership. Clear bra installations should lead to an increased resale value down the road when you choose to sell your vehicle, be it a Tesla Model 3, Model S, Model X or Model Y or Audi, BMW, Lamborghini etc…
Then on top of the paint protection film clear bra it’s recommended you add our Seattle ceramic coating service to help aid you in keeping your vehicle clean by making the process of cleaning your vehicle far easier, than simply having to clean paint or just the clear bra.
There will near always be some remaining water bubbles under the window tint when completed. Depending on the climate, quality of the job, weather conditions, and curing process it can take anywhere between four and thirty days. To get a better idea of the curing length, ask your Seattle window tint installation garage and they’ll be able to give you the most accurate timeline.
Keep in mind that the humid, wet climate in Seattle means that it could take longer for the window tint to cure. As long as you know what to expect, there shouldn’t be any issues.
Out of all the Tesla models the Model Y and Model S is one of the most challenging to apply window tint on due to its large sunroof and the headliners proximity to the sunroof. The headliner being installed as it is, leaves no room to get the film applied under it to the edge of the sunroof.
To overcome this, we must take the headliner down a bit for the Model Y sunroof window tint option. Beyond simply being an increased cost involved, there’s no other issues or challenges with the Model Y over any of the other vehicle for our window tinting options at Seattle ClearBra vehicle protection services.
Tesla Model X front windshield is also a challenge but we here at Seattle Clear Bra are up for and will do it for you unlike many other tint shops in the Greater Seattle Washington area.
